C Page 8 CONFIDENTIAL Document Classification: Proprietary Copyright 2005 Foxconn May 26, 2005, 2.00 Introduction Wireless Networks Section 1. Introduction This document describes the functions of the Foxconn WLAN Module Configuration Utility for the following:
Foxconn J20H018 802.11b/g WLAN Module Notes 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. Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer group) mode Access Point (AP) Infrastructure mode 1.1 Wireless Networks Foxconn 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:
1.1.1 Ad-Hoc Mode In 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 In 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.

Configuration Utility Overview Overview 2.1 The Foxconn Wireless Module Configuration Utility is a Microsoft Windows application that allows configuration and management of Foxconn J20H018 client cards. The Configuration Utility sets up profiles and performs wireless network management tasks. See the J20H018 Installation Guide for information on installing the Configuration Utility. 2.2 Windows XP Users For Windows XP, use either the Zero Configuration Utility or the Foxconn Configuration Utility to configure the cards. Both utilities cannot be used at the same time. Selection is made during installation of the card or can be switched during normal operation. Notes Zero Configuration can be disabled when running the setup program for the Foxconn Client Configuration Utility. See the Installation Guide for more information on selections made during installation of the Utility. When using the Marvell Configuration Utility on Windows XP, Foxconn recommends turning off the Windows wireless configuration feature. For information on how to disable this feature, refer to Windows documentation. Copyright 2005 Foxconn May 26, 2005, 2.00 CONFIDENTIAL Document Classification: Proprietary Doc. No. MV-S800245-00 Rev. C Page 11 J20H018 802.11b/g WLAN Module User Guide Zero Configuration Utility 2.2.1 To use the Zero Configuration Utility:
1. Open the Control Panel and click on Network Connections. 2. Right click on the icon for the Foxconn client card and select Properties. 3. Click on the Wireless Networks tab. 4. Check the Use Windows to configure my wireless settings checkbox to enable Zero Configuration. Figure 1: Zero Configuration Utility Window Doc. No. MV-S800245-00 Rev.

C Page 14 CONFIDENTIAL Document Classification: Proprietary Copyright 2005 Foxconn May 26, 2005, 2.00 Configuration Utility Overview Security Security 2.3 Implementing 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:
802.1x802.1x 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.

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 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:
-
-
-
that 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 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 1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and or antenna. 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter 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.
