ASUS Wireless Router 29 Chapter 3 - Software Configuration Home Gateway Mode (Cont.) To set up your wireless interface, you must first give it an SSID
(Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a unique identifier attached to packets sent over WLANs. This identifier emulates a password when a wireless device attempts communication on the WLAN. Because an SSID distinguishes WLANs from each other, access points and wireless devices trying to connect to a WLAN must use the same SSID. Also, if you want to protect transmitted data, select a middle or high Security Level. Middle: allows only those users with the same WEP key to connect to this access point and to transmit data using 128-bit WEP encryption. High: allows only those users with the same WPA pre-shared key to connect to this access point and to transmit data using TKIP encryption. Click Finish to continue.

. U t i l i t i e s SSID The SSID is an identification string of up to 32 ASCII characters that differentiate one ASUS Wireless Router AP or Access Point from other manufacturers. The SSID is also referred to as the ESSID or Extended Service Set ID. You can use the default SSID and radio channel unless more than one ASUS Wireless Router or Access Point is deployed in the same area. In that case, you should use a different SSID and radio channel for each ASUS Wireless Router or Access Point. All ASUS Wireless Routers and ASUS 802.11g/802.11b WLAN client adapters must have the same SSID to allow a wireless mobile client to roam between the ASUS Wireless Routers . By default, the SSID is set to default. 32 ASUS Wireless Router Chapter 3 - Software Configuration Wireless (Cont.) Channel The 802.11g and 802.11b specifications supports up to 14 overlapping channels for radio communication. To minimize interference, configure each ASUS 802.11g AP to be non-overlapping; select Auto from the Channel drop-down list to enable the system to select a clear channel during boot up as your operating channel. Ensure that ASUS Wireless Routers sharing the same channel (or channels which are close in number) are as far away from each other as possible, based on the results of your site survey of the facility. There is a site survey utility on the ASUS Wireless Router setup CD. Wireless Mode (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe Only) This field indicates the 802.11g interface mode. Selecting Auto allows 802.11g and 802.11b clients to connect to the ASUS Wireless Router.

tion methods are selected, you still can set WEP encryption for those clients that do not support WPA/WPA-PSK. Please note that Key Index for WEP key is limited to 2 or 3 when both WPA and WEP encryption are supported at the same time. 64/128-bit versus 40/104-bit The following section explains low-level (64-bit) and high-level (128-bit) WEP Encryption schemes:
34 ASUS Wireless Router Chapter 3 - Software Configuration Wireless (Cont.) 64-bit WEP Encryption 64-bit WEP and 40-bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate in a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bit (10 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key, which is set by the user, and a 24-bit Initialization Vector scheme, which is not under user control. Together these two schemes make a 64-bit (40 + 24) encryption scheme. Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 40-bit and others refer to this as 64-bit. ASUS WLAN products use the term 64-bit when referring to this lower level of encryption. 128-bit WEP Encryption 104-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate on a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption uses a 104-bit (26 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key which is set by the user, and a 24-bit Initialization Vector, which is not under user control. Together these two schemes make a 128-bit (104 + 24) encryption scheme. Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 104-bit and others refer to this as 128-bit. ASUS WLAN products use the term 128-bit when referring to this higher level of encryption. Passphrase Selecting WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits in the Encryption field generates four WEP keys automatically. A combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or symbols is required. Alternatively, leave this field blank and type in four WEP keys manually. WEP-64bit key: 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) WEP-128bit key: 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) Note: The ASUS WLAN family of products uses the same algorithm to generate WEP keys, eliminating the need for users to remember passwords and to maintain compatibility between products. How-
ever, using this method to generate WEP keys is not as secure as manual assignment. s e i t i l i t U
. 3 ASUS Wireless Router 35 Chapter 3 - Software Configuration Wireless (Cont.) WEP Key You can set a maximum of four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64bits or 128bits in the WEP pull-down menu. The ASUS Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients MUST have at least the same default key. Key Index The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys you use to transmit data on your wireless LAN. As long as the ASUS Wireless Router or wireless mobile client with which you are communicating has the same key in the same position, you can use any of the keys as the default key. If the ASUS Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients use the same four WEP keys, select key rotation to maximize security. Otherwise, choose one key in common as the default key. Network Rotation Key Interval This field specifies the time interval (in seconds) after which a WPA group key is changed. Enter 0 (zero) to indicate that a periodic key-change is not required. 3

Wireless Performance This section provides the user with ideas for how to improve the performance of a ASUS Wireless network. Site Topography For optimal performance, locate wireless mobile clients and the ASUS Wireless Routers away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Locate the ASUS Wireless Routers in open areas or add the ASUS Wireless Routers as needed to improve coverage. Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as the ASUS Wireless Router. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the ASUS Wireless Router you may notice network performance degradation. However, both your microwave and your the ASUS Wireless Router will continue to function. Site Surveys A site survey (utility provided with the WLAN PC card and CF card) analyzes the installation environment and provides users with recommendations for equipment and its placement. The optimum placement differs for each model. e c n a m r o f r e P
. 4 ASUS Wireless Router 89 Chapter 4 - Wireless Performance Range Every environment is unique with different obstacles, barriers, materials, etc. and, therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact range that will be achieved without testing. However, has developed some guidelines to estimate the range that users will see when the product is installed in their facility, but there are no hard and fast specifications. Radio signals may reflect off of some obstacles or be absorbed by others depending on their construction. For example, with two 802.11b radios, you may achieve up to 1000' in open space outdoors where two devices have a line of sight, meaning they see each other with no obstacles. However, the same two units may only achieve up to 300' of range when used indoors. The IEEE 802.11b specification supports four data rates: 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, and 1 Mbps. Operation at 1 Mbps provides greater range than operation at 11 Mbps. The ASUS Wireless Router will automatically adjust the data rate to maintain a usable radio connection. Therefore, a client that is close to the ASUS Wireless Router may operate at 11 Mbps while a client that is on the fringe of coverage may operate at 1 Mbps. As mentioned earlier, you can configure the data rates that the ASUS Wireless Router will use. Note that if you limit the range of data rates available to the ASUS Wireless Router, you may reduce the effective wireless range of the ASUS Wireless products. 4

Confirm that the ASUS Wireless Router and PC Card have the same Encryption settings, if enabled. 4. Confirm that the ASUS Wireless Routers Air and Link LEDs are solid green. 5. Confirm that the authorization table includes or excludes the MAC address of the WLAN PC card if Wireless Access Control is enabled. Problem The throughput seems slow. Solution To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-placed, not behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between them. If you move the client closer to the ASUS Wireless Router and throughput increases, you may want to consider adding a second the ASUS Wireless Router and implementing roaming. Check antenna, connectors and cabling. Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth. Check to see that the wired network does not exceed 10 broadcast messages per second. Verify wired network topology and configuration. g n i t o o h s e l b u o r T ASUS Wireless Router 93 Appendix -Troubleshooting Problem I cannot find the ASUS Wireless Routers using the ASUS Wireless Router Discovery. Solution To configure the ASUS Wireless Router through a wireless LAN card, your computer must be in the same subnet of the ASUS Wireless Router. You cannot find the ASUS Wireless Routers with subnet different from your computer within the same gateway. You must change your computer to the same subnet as the ASUS Wireless Router. The factory default subnet of the ASUS Wireless Router is "192.168.1.1". In Windows NT/2000/XP, you must log in with Administrator privi-
leges so that all functions of the ASUS Wireless Router Manager can function correctly. If you do not log in as a member of the Ad-
ministrator group, you cannot change IP settings but can still run the Discovery utility if the original IP setting is correct. Problem How do I upgrade the firmware on the ASUS Wireless Router?
Solution Periodically, a new Flash Code is available for ASUS Wireless Routers on the Web site at http://www.asus.com. Update the ASUS Wireless Router s Flash Code using the Firmware Upgrade option on the System Setup menu of the Web manager. T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g 94 ASUS Wireless Router Appendix - Glossary Glossary Access Point - An access point is a device that allows wireless clients to connect to other wireless clients and it acts as a bridge between wireless clients and a wired Ethernet network. Broadband - A type of data transmission in which a single medium (such as cable) carries several channels of data at once. Channel - Wireless access points allows you to choose different radio channels in the wireless spectrum. A wireless LAN device operates within the 2.4 GHz spectrum and a channel is within a FCC specified range, similar to any radio channel. Client - A client is the desktop or mobile PC that is connected to your network. Device name - Also known as DHCP client ID or network name. Sometimes provided by an ISP when using DHCP to assign addresses. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - This protocol allows a computer (or many computers on your network) to be automatically assigned a single IP address from a DHCP server. DNS Server Address (Domain Name System) - DNS allows Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses. A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a user enters a domain name into the Internet browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned. DSL Modem (Digital Subscriber Line) - A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds. Encryption - This provides wireless data transmissions with a level of security. ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) - You must have the same ESSID entered into the gateway and each of its wireless clients. The ESSID is a unique identifier for your wireless network. Ethernet - Ethernet networks are connected by cables and hubs, and move data around. This is a standard for computer networks. x i d n e p p A ASUS Wireless Router 95 Appendix - Glossary Frame-bursting - Refers to burst mode. Burst mode optionally allows a station to transmit a series of frames without relinquishing control of the transmission medium. Firewall - A firewall determines which information passes in and out of a network. NAT can create a natural firewall by hiding a local networks IP addresses from the Internet. A Firewall prevents anyone outside of your network from accessing your computer and possibly damaging or viewing your files. Gateway - A network point that manages all the data traffic of your network, as well as to the Internet and connects one network to another. Handshaking - handshaking refers to the signals that are transmitted between communications networks that establish a valid connection between two stations. IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEE sets standards for networking, including Ethernet LANs. IEEE standards ensure interoperability between systems of the same type. IP Address (Internet Protocol) - An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a unique Internet computer host, allowing messages intended for that computer to be delivered to the correct destination. ISP (Internet Service Provider) - An ISP is a business that allows individuals or businesses to connect to the Internet. Users log on to the Internet using an account with an ISP or Internet Service Provider. ISPs can serve IP addresses dynamically, or assign static (fixed) IP addresses to individual computers. ISP Gateway Address - The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router. This address is only required when using a cable or DSL modem. LAN (Local Area Network) - A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN. MAC Address (Media Access Control) - A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. A p p e n d i x 96 ASUS Wireless Router Appendix - Glossary NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT masks a local networks group of IP addresses from the external network, allowing a local network of computers to share a single ISP account. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. This will enable access to the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. PC Card - This is an Ethernet card that connects to the PCMCIA slot on your Notebook PC. This enables the computer to communicate with wireless access points. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) - PPP is a protocol for communication between computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by phone line to a server. PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) - Point-to-Point Protocol is a method of secure data transmission. PPP using Ethernet to connect to an ISP. Subnet Mask - A subnet mask is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - This is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. WAN (Wide Area Network) - A system of LANs, connected together. A network that connects computers located in separate areas, (i.e., different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network. WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance) - An industry group that certifies cross-vender interoperability and compatibility of IEEE 802.11b wireless networking products and to promote that standard for enterprise, small business, and home environments. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - This is a group of computers and other devices connected wirelessly in a small area. A wireless network is referred to as LAN or WLAN. x i d n e p p A ASUS Wireless Router 97 Appendix - GNU General Public License Licensing Information This product includes copyrighted third-party software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

A p p e n d i x 98 ASUS Wireless Router Appendix - GNU General Public License The GNU General Public License GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. x i d n e p p A ASUS Wireless Router 99 Appendix - GNU General Public License Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, he GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free softwareto make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundations software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each authors protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyones free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. 100 ASUS Wireless Router A p p e n d i x Appendix - GNU General Public License Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modification 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The Program, below, refers to any such program or work, and a work based on the Program means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term modification.) Each licensee is addressed as you. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Programs source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and on the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stat-
ing that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or so derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. x i d n e p p A ASUS Wireless Router 101 Appendix - GNU General Public License c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interac-
tive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announce-
ment including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception:
if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, d not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software inter-
change; or, A p p e n d i x 102 ASUS Wireless Router Appendix - GNU General Public License b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physi-
cally performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of te source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to cop, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. x i d n e p p A ASUS Wireless Router 103 Appendix - GNU General Public License 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license could not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. I any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. A p p e n d i x 104 ASUS Wireless Router Appendix - GNU General Public License This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of his License which applies to it and any later version, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. x i d n e p p A ASUS Wireless Router 105 Appendix - GNU General Public License NO WARRANTY 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO SE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
