Important information for the correct recycle/treatment procedures of this equipment The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol printed on the unit label or unit packaging indicates that this equipment must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste but it should be collected separately. The waste of electric and electronic equipment must be treated separately, in order to ensure that hazardous materials contained inside the equipment are not buried thereby providing potential future problems for the environment and human health. Moreover, it will be possible to reuse and recycle some parts of the waste of electric and electronic equipment, contributing to reduce the quantities of waste to be disposed of and the depletion of natural resources. As user of this equipment, you are responsible to return this waste of electronic equipment to an authorised collection facility set up by your Municipality. More detailed information on your nearest collection centre can be obtained from your Municipality or from other competent local entities. If you are replacing the old equipment with a new equivalent product, the distributor must take-back the old equipment free of charge on a one-to one basis as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and fulfilled the same functions as the supplied equipment. Your rôle in participating to the separate collection of waste of electric and electronic equipment is essential to ensure that environmental protection and human health objectives connected to a responsible treatment and recycling activities are achieved.26 PS.: The above mentioned information are reported herewith in compliance with Directive 2002/96/CE, which requires a separate collection system and specific treatment and disposal procedures for the waste of electric and electronic equipments (WEEE).

The NetFly (hereafter called the Adapter) is a high-efficiency wireless LAN Card/Adapter for wireless networking at home, in office or in public places. With the Adapter, you can roam between conference room and office without being disconnected the LAN cables; in addition, sharing files and printers can be easy tasks. The NetFly is available to Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows

XP/2000/VISTA/7, Linux) and can be integrated into networking with either Ad-hoc mode (computer-to-computer, without an Access Point), Infrastructure mode (computer-to-access point, an Access Point is required). The device offers quick and easy access among wired network and wireless network. The NetFly also supports WPA/WPA2 security, it increases the level of data protection and access control for Wireless LAN. MIMO radio technology (available only on 300Mbps devices) and multiple Antennas provide extended coverage and low throughput fluctuations. PCI Express technology offers several advantages over the common PCI interface, such as a higher speeds between the adapter's board and the host computer and in addition has lower power requirements.

Select Wireless Networks tab, and uncheck the check box of Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings, and then click OK. Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network? This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network. Consult the application’s user guide to determine if it supports operation over a network. Can I play computer games with other Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network).36 members of the wireless network? Refer to the game’s user guide for more information. What is Spread Spectrum? Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade-off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their differences? Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be short- duration impulse noise. Direct-Sequence Spread- Spectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the probability that the original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. Would the information WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On37 be intercepted while transmitting on air? the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN offers the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and access control. What is WEP? WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. What is infrastructure mode? When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to communicate with a wired network through a wireless access point. What is roaming? Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single access point. Before using the roaming function, the workstation must make sure that it is the same channel number with the access point of dedicated coverage area. What is ISM band? The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe. What is the IEEE 802.11g standard? Approved in June, 2003 as an IEEE standard for wireless local area networks (WLANs), 802.11g offers wireless transmission over relatively short distances at up to 54 megabits per second (Mbps) compared with the 11 megabits per second of the 802.11b (Wi-Fi) standard. Like 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz range and is thus compatible with it. What is the IEEE 802.11n standard? Is an IEEE standard for wireless local area networks (WLANs), 802.11n offers wireless transmission over relatively short distances at up to 600 megabits (more bandwith 40Mhz instead of38
