PIN ASSIGNMENTS................................................................................................................................................10 Wireless LAN Network Interface Controller iv Rev.0.6 1. General Description RTL8192E-GR Datasheet The Realtek RTL8192E is a highly integrated MIMO wireless LAN (WLAN) solution for the wireless high throughput 802.11n draft specification. It combines a MAC and 1T2R capable baseband in a single chip. When coupled with Realteks RFICs (RTL8256 at 2.4Ghz), the RTL8192E provides complete solution for a high throughput performance wireless client. The RTL8192E baseband implements multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with 1 transmit and 2 receive paths and is compatible with 802.11n Draft specification 2.0. Other features include two spatial streams transmission, short guard interval (GI) of 400ns, spatial spreading, and transmission over 20 MHz and 40 MHz bandwidth. Moreover, RTL8192E provides one spatial stream space-time block code (STBC) to extend the range of transmission. At the receiver, extended range and good minimum sensitivity is achieved by having receiver diversity up to 2 antennas. As the recipient, the RTL8192E also supports explicit sounding packet feedback that helps senders with beamforming capability. With 2 independent RF IC, RTL8192E can perform fast roaming without link interruption. For legacy compatibility, direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), complementary code keying (CCK) and OFDM baseband processing are included to support all IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n data rates. Differential phase shift keying modulation schemes, DBPSK and DQPSK with data scrambling capability, are available along with complementary code keying to provide the data rates of 1, 2, 5.5 and 11Mbps with long or short preamble. The high speed FFT/IFFT paths, combined with BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM modulation of the individual subcarriers and rate compatible punctured convolutional coding with coding rate of 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 5/6, provides the maximum data rate of 54 Mbps and 300 Mbps for IEEE 802.11b/g and 802.11n MIMO OFDM respectively. The RTL8192E builds in an enhanced signal detector, an adaptive frequency domain equalizer, and a soft-decision Viterbi decoder to alleviate the severe multi-path effects and mutual interference in the reception of multiple streams. For better detection quality, receive diversity with maximal-ratio-combine

(MRC) applying up to 2 receive paths are implemented. Robust interference detection and suppression are provided to protect against bluetooth, cordless phone, and microwave oven. Radar detection is supported to further protect RTL8192E from interference. Receive vector diversity for multi-stream application is implemented for efficient utilization of MIMO channel. Efficient IQ-imbalance, DC offset, phase noise, frequency offset and timing offset compensations are provided for the radio frequency front-end impairments. Selectable digital transmit and receiver FIR filters are provided to meet the requirement of transmit spectrum mask and to reject the adjacent channel interference, respectively. The RTL8192E supports fast receiver automatic gain control (AGC) with synchronous and asynchronous control loops among antennas, antenna diversity functions, and adaptive transmit power control function to obtain the better performance in the analog portions of the transceiver. Wireless LAN Network Interface Controller 5 Rev.0.6 RTL8192E-GR Datasheet The RTL8192E MAC supports 802.11e for multimedia applications, 802.11i for security, and 802.11n for enhanced MAC protocol efficiency. Using packet aggregation techniques such as A-MPDU with BA and A-MSDU, protocol efficiency is significantly improved. Power saving mechanisms such as U-APSD, APSD, and MIMO power saving reduces the power wasted during idle time, and compensates for the extra power required to transmit MIMO OFDM. The RTL8192E provides simple legacy and 20Mhz/40Mhz co-existence mechanisms to ensure backward and network compatibility. Wireless LAN Network Interface Controller 6 Rev.0.6 RTL8192E-GR Datasheet 2.

Precautions for Operating System Support If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a previous version of a OS pre-installed on this computer, or a software that does not support the OS, the company will not provide technical support, a replacement or refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a service charge will be applied. Performance Restrictions

Online games and some games(3D,2D) may not be supported and Full HD video and some high bit rate HD video playback may be slow and stutter on this computer.

There is one memory slot provided on this computer. It supports 2GB memory max. To upgrade to 2GB memory, replace the current memory with a 2GB memory module. 5 About the Product Capacity Representation Standard About HDD Capacity Representation The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation.

(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB) In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD. About Memory Capacity Representation The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory. This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use.

(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB or less) 6 Contents Chapter 1.

(passphrase function) is enabled and the wireless connection is normal but you cannot send data over the connection, please enter the Network Key (Encryption Key) manually. 167 A6 Check the AP settings as follows. If there are multiple APs running at the same time, check the channel setting of each AP. If the interval between the channels of the APs is narrow, you may experience electromagnetic interference. Set the channel numbers of the APs so that the internals between the channels are maximized. (for example, Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13) computer. It is recommended unselecting the Hide option of the AP. SSID (Service Set ID) is a name used to distinguish a wireless LAN from other wireless LANs. It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Although some APs support Short Preamble, there might be a compatibility problem. Because Fixed channel selection is more stable then Auto channel selection, Fixed channel selection is recommended. It is recommended not using the Block Any and Any Connection Block functions. Although these functions block connections at the client side when the network name is Any or Blank, it may cause a compatibility problem. follows; (for example, 169.254.xxx. xxx).

Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain. DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) DVD was developed to replace CD

(compact disk). Although the shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS

(analog) video and supports MPEG2 compression and digital audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is required. Firewall A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication procedure. Hibernation Mode A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state. Icon This refers to a small image that represents a le that users can use. 189 Network A group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link. A network can be either small or large and can be connected permanently through cables or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless links. The biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network. Quick Launch This refers to a toolbar that can be congured so that you can launch a program such as Internet Explorer or display the Windows Desktop with one click. You can add any icon to the quick launch area of the Taskbar and launch frequently used program by clicking that icon. Notication Area This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time. Power Schemes This refers to a pre-determined power management option group. For example, you can set the time the computer waits before entering Standby Mode, or before the monitor or hard drive turns off. The settings are saved as a power scheme. Server In general, a server refers to a computer that provides shared resources for network users. Share This refers to setting a resource of a computer such as a folder or printer so that other users can also use it. Shared Folder A folder that can be used by other users on the network. 190 SSD (Solid State Disk) This refers to a device that saves information to semiconductors unlike a normal hard disk drive (HDD). There are two types of SSD. One saves data to the DRAM and the other saves data to the Flash Memory. Since there are no mechanical parts, an SSD provides a much better performance than an HDD. Especially, a Flash Memory-Type SSD provides high reliability and durability. Network Administrator A user who plans, congures and manages network operations. Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system administrator. Sleep Mode A power mode that enables computers to save power consumption when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the power is turned off, the data in memory will be lost. System File System Files refer to les that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system les must not be deleted or moved. USB (Universal Serial Bus) This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps

(12 million bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a data rate that is 40 times

(480Mpbs) faster than that of USB 1.1. The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW that require a high data rate. Windows Media Player A multimedia program included with Windows. Using this program, you can play a media le, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage media les, and copy les to a portable device, etc. 191 Index B Battery Battery Calibration BIOS Setup Booting Priority C CD Drive / Recording Charge Click Connect / Output Monitor Control Panel D Desktop / Change Dual View E Easy Network Manager H Help L LCD Brightness M Memory Multi Card Slot N Network P Password Product Specications Program R Recorder Remaining Battery Charge Resolution / Color S Safety Precautions Samsung Battery Manager Samsung Update Plus Security Lock Port Shortcut Keys Status Indicators T Touchpad U User Accounts / Switch User V Volume Control W Windows XP Wired Network Wireless Network 134 141 124 131 66 136 63 71 85 81 73 100 80 122 132 68 100 128 178 105 77 137 89 8 138 111 142 59 51 62 87 75 79 91 94 192 WR21xx_N
