IntroductionWireless NetworksCopyright © 2005 Foxconn CONFIDENT Doc. No. MV-S800245-00 Rev. CMay 26, 2005, 2.00 Document Classification: Proprietary Page 9Section 1. IntroductionThis document describes the functions of the Foxconn WLAN Module Configuration Utility for the following:•Foxconn J20H018 802.11b/g WLAN ModuleNotes• In this document, the Foxconn WLAN Module Configuration Utility may also be referred to as the Configuration Utility or just the Utility. • See the J20H018 Installation Guide for information on installing the Configuration Utility, the Client Card Module, and the Foxconn Windows® driver.• See Appendix A. "Acronyms and Abbreviations" on page 51 for a list of acronyms used throughout this document.1.1 Wireless NetworksFoxconn WLAN Module operate similar to Ethernet cards except that a radio replaces the wires between communication devices. All existing applications that operate over Ethernet operates over a Foxconn wireless network without any modification or need for special wireless networking software. The adapter supports the following network technologies:•Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer group) mode•Access Point (AP) Infrastructure mode1.1.1 Ad-Hoc ModeIn Ad-Hoc mode (also referred to as peer-to-peer mode), wireless clients send and receive information to other wireless clients without using an AP. In comparison to infrastructure mode, this type of WLAN connection only contains wireless clients. Ad-Hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required. Two or more computers can establish an Ad-Hoc network when within range of one another. Each computer dynamically connects to one another without additional configuration. Ad-Hoc mode is used to network computers at home or in small offices. It is also used to set up a temporary wireless network for meetings.1.1.2 Infrastructure ModeIn infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate with other wireless devices or devices on the LAN side wired network through Access Points. When communicating through wired networks, client cards send and receive information through APs. The AP receives the information and redirects it for clients to receive the information.Access Points are typically strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a wide area. APs connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs send and receive information from the LAN through this wired connection. Most corporate WLANs operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers.

CMay 26, 2005, 2.00 Document Classification: Proprietary Page 152.3 SecurityImplementing a security infrastructure to monitor physical access to WLAN networks is more difficult than monitoring access on wired networks. Unlike wired networks where a physical connection is required, anyone within range of a wireless Access Point can send and receive frames, as well as listen for frames being sent.IEEE 802.11 defines a set of standards and protocols for use in minimizing the security risks on wireless networks. Two of these security standards are as follows:•802.1x—802.1x authentication provides authenticated access to 802.11 wireless networks and to wired Ethernet networks. 802.1x minimizes wireless network security risks by providing user and computer identification, centralized authentication, and encryption services based on the WEP algorithm. 802.1x supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP allows the use of different authentication methods, such as smart cards and certificates.•Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)—WPA is an implementation based on a subset of the 802.11i standard. WPA provides enhanced security for wireless networks when used with the TKIP and the Message Integrity Check (MIC) algorithms.•Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2)—The next generation of Wi-Fi security, based on the final 802.11i standard. WPA2 offers the strongest available security in the form of AES-level encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard), plus faster roaming between access points.2.3.1 Security ConfigurationsThe configuration utility supports the following security protocols:•Authentication Modes–Open System–Shared Key–Auto Switch–802.1x–WPA-PSK–WPA2-PSK–WPA–WPA2–CCX•Encryption Methods–Security Off–WEP–TKIP–AES•802.1x Authentication Protocol–EAP/TLS–EAP/PEAP–EAP/LEAP•WEP Key Size–64 bits WEP (40-bit key (5 bytes))–128 bits WEP (104-bit key (13 bytes))

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. Labeling Rule for the End Product Which Integrate this Module This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following statement: “Contains TX FCC ID: MCLJ20H018”. Information Needed to be Included in the Users Manual of the End Product The users manual for OEM integrators must include the following information in a prominent location “ IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
IC statement "This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of [2] dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is [ 50 ] ohms." "To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication".
