Radio Characteristics A
Radio Characteristics of WaveLAN adapter cards may vary
according to:
■ The country where the product was purchased.
■ The type of product that was purchased.
Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations.
Although WaveLAN wireless networking products have been
designed for operation in the license-free 2.4 GHz band, local
radio regulations may impose a number of limitations to the use of
wireless communication equipment.
To comply with such regulations, WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 cards are
marketed with dedicated channel-sets with a number of factory-
programmed channels identified by the following acronyms:
■ ETS for countries that adhere to the regulations as defined by
the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
■ FCC for countries that adhere to the regulations as defined by
the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
■ FR for France, and
■ JP for Japan.
The acronym of the channel-set supported by your card is printed
on a label on the back-side of your WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 card
(see Table A-6 on page A-8 for a detailed list of channels).
If you plan to install and use WaveLAN adapter cards to connect a
WavePOINT-II or other computing device to an outdoor antenna
installation, additional regulations may apply.
