With a Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11g) mini PCI Adapter, a desktop or laptop computer can communicate with another computer in a wireless way. Easy-to-use utilities are bundled with Wireless mini-PCI Adapter for configuration, monitoring, and diagnosis purposes. Wireless PCIe Adapter can wirelessly transmit and receive data, minimizing the need for wired connections, at a speed of up to fifty-four megabit per second. Wireless PCIe Adapter provides users with an access to real-time information anywhere in their organization. The mobility provides productivity and service, which are not available under wired networks. The Wireless PCIe Adapter configuration is easy to change from peer-to-peer networks, suitable for a small number of users, to full infrastructure networks of thousands of users that allow roaming around a broad area. Overview of this Users Guide Introduction. Describes the Wireless PCIe Adapter and its features. Software Installation. Tells how to setup the driver and the utility setting. Technical Specifications. Lists the technical (general, physical and environmental) specifications of the Wireless PCIe Adapter. 1 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION This section will lead you to install the driver and utility of the Wireless PCIe Adapter via Windows OS installation. Windows 98se/ME/2000/XP Utility and Driver Installation 1. Insert the Wireless LAN mini PCI Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computers CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu and install the driver and the utility, for Win98se, please reboot the system to install the driver to the system properly. In some specific setting on Windows system, you may need to proceed the software manually, go to your Windows Start menu and choose Run, type D:\Utility\Setup.exe in the dialog box (D:\ will depend on where your CD-ROM drive is located) and click OK. 2. If you need to install the driver manually, refer each Windows OS to the following CD-Rom directory path: D:\Drivers\<Windows OS>\SIS163U.INF. Note: (D:\ will depends on where the CD-ROM drive is located and

<Windows OS> will depend on the Windows Operating System you are using). 3. The Install Shield Wizard screen will appear. Click Next to continue. 4. The installation program will help you to setup the Wireless Utility. Be noted that the Windows XP have its own Wireless Utility; you can either use the utility of Windows XP or the provided utility. 5. You will see the icon on the Windows task bar when you finish the installation. When the icon in the toolbar represents in green color, it is properly connected to the network and if it represents in red color, then it is not connected to the network. 2 Wireless Utility Setting With the Wireless PCIe Adapter utility, users can configure all the functions provided by the Wireless Monitor Utility. Double-click the utility icon that appears in the taskbar. The Wireless Monitor Utility includes seven tabs: Status, Configuration, Advanced, Profile, Network, Statistics and About. Status The Status screen shows you the status of the Wireless Adapter, it shows that where the device is connected to, the Network mode, the Channel, the transmit rate and the encryption mode. There are two dialog boxes showing the data transmitted and the data received. The two signal lines show the Signal Strength and the Link Quality of the device. 3 Configuration The Configuration function helps you to configure the Network and the Security. Network: the setting of the Network mode, the SSID and the Channels.

 Network Mode:

If you want to connect with an Access Point, please set to Infrastructure mode. If you have more stations and just want to set them as local network, please set the mode to Ad-Hoc mode.

 Network SSID:

The SSID differentiates one Wireless LAN group name from another; so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific Wireless LAN group name must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. If the SSID parameter is ANY, it will detect the strongest signal of the wireless station.

 Channel:

It shows radio channel numbers that used for Wireless LAN networking. The channel number can be set only under the Ad-Hoc operation mode. In Ad-Hoc mode stations, each station must have the same channel numbers and SSID. In Infrastructure mode, the Wireless mini-PCI Adapter will automatically detect the channel number of the Access Point. Security: the setting of the Network Encryption. This function is used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping. A secondary function of encryption is to prevent unauthorized access to a wireless network, and it can be achieved by using the Encryption function.

 Encryption Mode:

There are two kinds of encryption mode, WEP encryption and WPA-PSK. Click the Enable Encryption to activate the security of the mini-PCI Adapter. WEP-Key: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) relies on a secret key that is shared between a mobile station and a base station (Access Point). WEP-Passphrase: the Passphrase in the dialog box helps you to create a group of WEP key in the Key Setting.

 Authentication Mode:

Open System: with the same WEP key between the stations, the stations dont need to be authenticated, and this algorithm was set to default. Shared Key: with the same WEP key between the stations in this Authentication algorithm, this type will use packets with encryption by transferring a challenge text which will be acknowledge by both side of the stations. In order to choose which authentication algorithm will be used, you must know which one the station supports this algorithm first. 4 It is recommended to select Auto if you are not familiar with the setting.

 Default Key (Key 1 ~ Key 4):

You can type the key that you want to use from Key#1 to Key #4, and the key that you type will be the encryption between the stations that you connected with.

 Key Length, Key Format and WEP Key:

If you select 64bit in Hex format, you must type 10 values in the following range

(0~F, hexadecimal), or 64bit in ASCII format, you must type 5 values in the following range (0~9, A~Z and a~z Alphanumeric). If you select 128bit in Hex format, you must type 26 values (0~F, hexadecimal), or 128bit in ASCII format, you must type 13 values in the following range (0~9, A~Z and a~z Alphanumeric). Be sure that the mini-PCI Adapter and the wireless station were set in the same key. Note: After all the settings are completed, click Apply to save the setting. 5 WPA-PSK: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access pre-shared key) is a simpler version that does not support 802.1x and requires a separate RADIUS server for mutual authentication. Enter a Passphrase in the WPA-PSK dialog box. This passphrase must be the same on each computer that is connected to the wireless network. 6 Advanced The Advanced settings help you to control the Wireless Adapter to adjust with wireless devices in certain environment.

 Transmit Rate:

You can choose one of the transmission rates as follows, 54Mbps, 48Mbps, 36Mbps, 24Mbps, 18Mbps, 12Mbps, 11Mbps, 9Mbps, 6Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 2Mbps, 1Mbps, and Fully Automatic. The Fully Automatic will automatically detect the suitable linking transfer rate and auto fall back when the signal is not too strong to transmit data, it will auto fall back from 54Mbps to 1 Mbps.

 Power Saving:

To set your Wireless Adapter as power saving mode, select Off, Normal or Maximum.

 Transmit Power:

By selecting the Transmit Power, you can select the Radio Frequency output power from Minimum, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100% or Auto. 7

 Preamble Type:

The usage of the preamble is to limit the packet size of the data to transmit. It is recommended to choose the short preamble when the link quality is bad, it is to prevent the wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost. The Default is Auto which access short and long preamble.

 Fragment Threshold:

Fragmentation Threshold is a way of transmitting the packets that will be fragmented. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2432 bytes. It is recommended to fragment the packet when the link quality is bad, it is to prevent the wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost.

 RTS/CTS Threshold:

The RTS/CTS Threshold is a station initiates the process by sending a RTS frame, the other ends receives the RTS and responds with a CTS frame, the station must receive a CTS frame before sending the data frame. This is to prevent the collisions by each station. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2432 bytes. It is recommended limiting a long packet to prevent each station waiting too long to transmit a data. 8 Profile The Profile section allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined profile. Type a name in the Profile Name field to create a profile, click Save and then click Apply when a profile is done. You can click Delete if the profile is no longer used, to activate other profile, choose a profile name in the Profile Name field and click Activate. 9 Network The screen shows all the Wireless devices around your Wireless Adapter. The information of the wireless devices includes the SSID, MAC Address, Channels, Signal, the Security type and the Network mode. You can click the Rescan button to find the new wireless devices, and double-

click the device to choose the wireless station that you want to connect with. 10 Statistics The Statistics section shows the real-time transmit and receive packets of the Wireless Adapter. 11 About The About section shows the Device Name, Regulatory Domain, Driver Version, MAC Address and the Utility version. 12 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS General Standards IEEE 802.11a/n Transmitter Output Power 5GHz 21.6dBm (average) Data Transfer Rate 108Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 9Mbps 11Mbps 5.5Mbps 6Mbps 1Mbps 2Mbps MSC (0-15) 144Mbps (300) 130Mbps (270) 117Mbps (243) 104Mbps (216) 78Mbps (162) 66Mbps (135) 58.5Mbps (121.5) 52Mbps (108) 39Mbps (81) 26Mbps (54) 19.5Mbps (40.5) 12Mbps (27) 6.5Mbps

FCC ID: KA2IR826LMO1 Operational Description This device is an IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless PCIe Module, which operates in 5GHz band; the maximum data rate could be up to 300Mbps which OFDM technique. If the signal to noise radio is too poor which could not support 300Mbps, the 11Mbps data rate with DSSS technique will be applied. The transmitter of the EUT is powered by 3.3Vdc from host equipment. The antenna is PCB with UFL antenna connector. For more detailed instruction, please take a look at the users manual. FCC 15.407(c) states: The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. These provisions are not intended to preclude the transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes used by certain digital technologies to complete frame or burst intervals. Applicants shall include in their application for equipment authorization a description of how this requirement is met Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then pass down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets (ACKs, CTS, PSPoll, etc) are initiated by the MAC. There are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets are being transmitted. Report No.: RF120305C07
