2. Wireless LAN WL-850FJB Basics
Wireless LAN WL-850FJB (Local Area Networks) systems offer a great number of advantages over a
traditional, wired system. Wireless LAN WL-850FJBs (WLAN WL-850FJBs) are more flexible, easier to
setup and manage and often more cost effective than their wired equivalence.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN WL-850FJBs transmit and receive data over the air,
minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLAN WL-850FJBs combine data connectivity with
user mobility, and, through simplified configuration, enable movable LAN WL-850FJBs.
With wireless LAN WL-850FJBs, users can access shared information without looking for a place to
plug in and network managers can set up or augment networks without installing or moving wires.
Wireless LAN WL-850FJBs offer the following productivity, convenience and cost advantages over
traditional wired networks:
Mobility - Wireless LAN WL-850FJB systems can provide LAN WL-850FJB users with access to
real-time information anywhere in their organization. This mobility supports productivity and
service opportunities not possible with wired networks.
Installation Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN WL-850FJB system can be fast and
easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.
Installation Flexibility - Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go.
Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - While the initial investment required for wireless LAN WL-850FJB
hardware might be higher than the cost of wired LAN WL-850FJB hardware, overall installation
expenses and life-cycle costs will be significantly lower. Long-term cost benefits are greatest in
dynamic environments requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.
Scalability - Wireless LAN WL-850FJB systems can be configured in a variety of topologies to
meet the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and
range from peer-to-peer to full infrastructure networks, also allow roaming over a broad area.

Important Notice
In order to make right use of WPA, please ensure that your current Wireless Adapter
s driver, and
Wireless Utility can support it, WPA needs 802.1x authentication (when
RADIUS mode is chosen),
though the Operating System must also support 802.1x protocol. For Microsoft
s OS family, only
Windows XP has incorporated this by default. The rest of the OS must installed 3er party
s client
software such as Funk ODySSey.

4. 1 Link Information
This field is used to display the current status of connection. When the state shows Connected to
Network means normal flow of operation in Infrastructure mode. The PC is connected to access
point. Networking is available.
A state of “Scanning” means that the node is searching for available access point and detecting
the SSID for an available access point within range.
This field will also display an error message for some reason if the driver fails to initialize.
Network Type
Infrastructure Mode - The driver will scan all available channels continuously until it finds one or
more Access Points that match its SSID. At that point it will try and authenticate and
associate with the Access Point.
Peer to Peer Mode - The driver will scan for 5 seconds looking for an existing Ad Hoc network
using the same SSID.
- Current Channel and Transmit Rate
Shows the channel of the ra
dio and transmit rate being currently used for an active connection.
This value has no meaning when the radio is “Scanning”
- Link Quality
The Link Quality bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graph
displays the quality of the link between the node and Access Point.
- Signal Strength
The Signal Strength bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar
graph displays normalized signal strength as reported by the radio, averaged over all frames over
100 bytes long that are received from the Access Point.

5. Certification
IC Statement
The device is certified to the requirements of RSS-210 for 2.4 GHz spread spectrum devices. To
prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and
away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause interference and
2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device
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 complies with Par
t 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with
FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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.
ViewSonic declares that WL-850FJB ( FCC ID: GSS-WL850FJB ) is limited in CH1~CH11 for 2.4 GHz by
specified firmware controlled in U.S.A.
