Introduction
Chapter ꢀ
Chapter ꢀ:
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G VPN Router
with RangeBooster. The WRV200 is a VPN router with a
Wireless-G access point for small offices and home offices.
The 10/100 Ethernet WAN interface connects directly
to your broadband DSL or Cable modem. For the LAN
interface, there is a built-in 4-port, full-duplex 10/100
Ethernet switch that can connect up to four devices.
The wireless AP supports 802.11b/g and incorporates
Linksys RangeBooster technology, which utilizes a MIMO
antennae configuration to provide increased coverage
and reliability over standard 802.11g.
The WRV200 has the advanced security functions needed
for business networking. It has a SPI based firewall with
DoS prevention, but also a Virtual Private Networking
(VPN) engine for secure communication between mobile
or remote workers and branch offices. For your wired and
wireless local area network, there is support for multiple
SSIDs and VLANs for traffic separation. The WRV200’s
Wireless AP implements WPA2-PSK, WPA2-ENT, and WEP
encryption, along with other security features including
enabling/disabling SSID Broadcasts and MAC-based
filtering.
Wireless networking in business environments requires
additional flexibility. The WRV200 has the capability to
expand or reduce the area of your wireless network.
There is support for Wireless Distribution System (WDS),
which allows the wireless coverage to be expanded
without wires through wireless bridging between it and
select Linksys stand alone access points. That, along with
the ability to increase or decrease the RF output power,
allows for optimal wireless coverage.
To support VoIP, the WRV200 has a SIP application layer
gateway (ALG) and advanced QoS functionality. SIP based
VoIP data has problems traversing through standard
firewalls with NAT, especially when you deploy multiple SIP
clients. The SIP ALG allows SIP traffic from multiple clients
to pass through the router’s firewall. QoS functionality
can improve the quality of your voice or video over IP.
With support for Wireless QoS (WMM) and wired QoS
(port prioritization), consistent voice and video quality is
maintained throughout your business.

Networking and Security Basics
Chapter ꢁ
Network Layout
The Wireless-G VPN Router has been specifically designed
for use with both your 802.11b and 802.11g products.
Now, products using these standards can communicate
with each other.
Chapter ꢁ:
Planning Your Wireless
Network
The Wireless-G VPN Router is compatible with all 802.11g
and 802.11n adapters, such as the Notebook Adapters
(WPC4400N, WPC200) for your laptop computers, PCI
Adapter (WMP200) for your desktop PC, and USB Adapter
(WUSB200, USB1000) when you want to enjoy USB
connectivity. The Router will also communicate with
Wireless Ethernet Bridges (WET200).
Network Topology
Awirelesslocalareanetwork(WLAN)isexactlylikearegular
local area network (LAN), except that each computer in the
WLAN uses a wireless device to connect to the network.
Computers in a WLAN share the same frequency channel
and SSID, which is an identification name shared by the
wireless devices belonging to the same wireless network.
When you wish to connect your wireless network with
your wired network, you can use the Router’s four LAN
ports. To add more ports, any of the Router’s LAN ports
can be connected to any Linksys Business Series switch
(such as the SLM series or SRW series switches).
Ad-Hoc versus Infrastructure Mode
Unlike wired networks, wireless networks have two
different modes in which they may be set up: infrastructure
and ad-hoc. An infrastructure configuration is a WLAN
and wired LAN communicating to each other through
an access point. An ad-hoc configuration is wireless-
equipped computers communicating directly with each
other. Choosing between these two modes depends on
whether or not the wireless network needs to share data
or peripherals with a wired network or not.
With these, and many other, Linksys products, your
networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys
products that work with the Wireless-G VPN Router with
RangeBooster.
If the computers on the wireless network need to be
accessiblebyawirednetworkorneedtoshareaperipheral,
such as a printer, with the wired network computers, the
wireless network should be set up in Infrastructure mode.
The basis of Infrastructure mode centers around an access
point or wireless router, such as the Wireless-G VPN Router,
which serves as the main point of communications in
a wireless network. The Router transmits data to PCs
equipped with wireless network adapters, which can
roam within a certain radial range of the Router. You can
arrange the Router and multiple access points to work
in succession to extend the roaming range, and you can
set up your wireless network to communicate with your
Ethernet hardware as well.
Network Diagram
If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to
share resources only with the other computers on the
wireless network, then the Ad-Hoc mode can be used.
Ad-Hoc mode allows computers equipped with wireless
transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with
each other, eliminating the need for a wireless router or
access point. The drawback of this mode is that in Ad-
Hoc mode, wireless-equipped computers are not able to
communicate with computers on a wired network. And, of
course, communication between the wireless-equipped
computers is limited by the distance and interference
directly between them.

Planning Your Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Chapter ꢂ
3) Man in the middle attacks
Chapter ꢂ:
Planning Your Virtual
Private Network (VPN)
Once the hacker has either sniffed or spoofed enough
information, he can now perform a “man in the middle”
attack. This attack is performed, when data is being
transmitted from one network to another, by rerouting
the data to a new destination. Even though the data is not
received by its intended recipient, it appears that way to
the person sending the data.
Why do I need a VPN?
Computer networking provides a flexibility not available
when using an archaic, paper-based system. With this
flexibility, however, comes an increased risk in security.
This is why firewalls were first introduced. Firewalls help
to protect data inside of a local network. But what do you
do once information is sent outside of your local network,
when e-mails are sent to their destination, or when you
have to connect to your company’s network when you are
out on the road? How is your data protected?
These are only a few of the methods hackers use and they
are always developing more. Without the security of your
VPN, your data is constantly open to such attacks as it
travels over the Internet. Data travelling over the Internet
will often pass through many different servers around
the world before reaching its final destination. That is a
long way to go for unsecured data and this is when a VPN
serves its purpose.
That is when a VPN can help. VPNs are called Virtual Private
Networks because they secure data moving outside of
your network as if it were still within that network.
What is a VPN?
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a connection between
two endpoints—a VPN Router, for instance—in different
networks that allows private data to be sent securely
over a shared or public network, such as the Internet. This
establishes a private network that can send data securely
between these two locations or networks.
When data is sent out across the Internet from your
computer, it is always open to attacks. You may already
have a firewall, which will help protect data moving
around or held within your network from being corrupted
or intercepted by entities outside of your network, but
once data moves outside of your network—when you
send data to someone via e-mail or communicate with an
individual over the Internet—the firewall will no longer
protect that data.
This is done by creating a “tunnel”. A VPN tunnel connects
the two PCs or networks and allows data to be transmitted
over the Internet as if it were still within those networks.
Notaliteraltunnel, itisaconnectionsecuredbyencrypting
the data sent between the two networks.
At this point, your data becomes open to hackers using
a variety of methods to steal not only the data you are
transmitting but also your network login and security
data. Some of the most common methods are as follows:
VPN was created as a cost-effective alternative to using
a private, dedicated, leased line for a private network.
Using industry standard encryption and authentication
techniques—IPSec, short for IP Security—VPN creates a
secure connection that, in effect, operates as if you were
directly connected to your local network. VPN can be used
to create secure networks linking a central office with
branch offices, telecommuters, and/or professionals on
the road (travelers can connect to a VPN Router using any
computer with the Linksys VPN client software.)
1) MAC Address Spoofing
Packets transmitted over a network, either your local
network or the Internet, are preceded by a packet
header. These packet headers contain both the source
and destination information for that packet to transmit
efficiently. A hacker can use this information to spoof
(or fake) a MAC address allowed on the network. With
this spoofed MAC address, the hacker can also intercept
information meant for another user.
There are two basic ways to create a VPN connection:
• VPN Router to VPN Router
• Computer (using the Linksys VPN client software) to
VPN Router
2) Data Sniffing
IMPORTANT: You must have at least one VPN
Router on one end of the VPN tunnel. At the
other end of the VPN tunnel, you must have
a second VPN Router or a computer with the
Linksys VPN client software.
Data “sniffing” is a method used by hackers to obtain
network data as it travels through unsecured networks,
such as the Internet. Tools for just this kind of activity,
such as protocol analyzers and network diagnostic tools,
are often built into operating systems and allow the data
to be viewed in clear text.

Planning Your Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Chapter ꢂ
The VPN Router creates a“tunnel”or channel between two
endpoints, so that data transmissions between them are
secure. A computer with the Linksys VPN client software
can be one of the two endpoints (refer to “Appendix B:
Using Linksys QuickVPN for Windows 2000, XP, or Vista”).
If you choose not to run the VPN client software, any
computer with the built-in IPSec Security Manager
(Microsoft 2000 and XP) allows the VPN Router to create a
VPN tunnel using IPSec (refer to “Appendix C: Configuring
IPSec between a Windows 2000 or XP PC and the Router”).
Other versions of Microsoft operating systems require
additional, third-party VPN client software applications
that support IPSec to be installed.

An example of a VPN Router-to-VPN Router VPN would
be as follows. At home, a telecommuter uses his VPN
Router for his always-on Internet connection. His router
is configured with his office’s VPN settings. When he
connects to his office’s router, the two routers create a VPN
tunnel, encrypting and decrypting data. As VPNs utilize
the Internet, distance is not a factor. Using the VPN, the
telecommuter now has a secure connection to the central
office’s network, as if he were physically connected. For
more information, refer to “Appendix D: Configuring a
Gateway-to-Gateway IPSec Tunnel.”

LAN IP Address The LAN IP Address is the address of the
remote network or host to which you want to assign a
static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you
wish to create a static route. If you are building a route to
an entire network, be sure that the network portion of the
IP address is set to 0. For example, the Router’s standard IP
address is 192.168.1.1. Based on this address, the address
of the routed network is 192.168.1, with the last digit
determining the Router’s place on the network. Therefore

between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval
value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A
beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize
the wireless network.
DTIM Interval The default value is ꢂ. This value, between
1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown
field informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has
buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated
clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages.
Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings
This tab is used to set up the Router’s advanced wireless
functions. These settings should only be adjusted by an
advanced user as incorrect settings can reduce wireless
performance.
Fragmentation Threshold In most cases, this value
should remain at its default value of ꢁꢂꢃꢅ. It specifies the
maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into
multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate,
you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold.
Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result
in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of
the default value is recommended.
Advanced Wireless Settings
AP Isolation This isolates all wireless clients and wireless
devices on your network from each other. Wireless devices
will be able to communicate with the Router but not with
each other.To use this function, click Enabled. AP Isolation
is disabled by default.
RTS Threshold The RTS Threshold value should remain at
its default value, ꢁꢂꢃꢆ. Should you encounter inconsistent
data flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347,
is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the
preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS)
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates
the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the
wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame
to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate
of transmission but a series of rates at which the Router
can transmit. The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the
otherwirelessdevicesinyournetwork, sotheyknowwhich
rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will
automatically select the best rate for transmission. The
default setting is Default, when the Router can transmit
at all standard wireless rates (1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps,
18Mbps, and 24Mbps). Other options are ꢀ-ꢁMbps, for
use with older wireless technology, and All, when the
Router can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate
is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to
specify the Router’s rate of data transmission, configure

device at the other end of the tunnel.
ISAKMP Authentication Method There are two types
of authentication: MD5 and SHA (SHA is recommended

of these may be selected, provided that the VPN device
at the other end of the tunnel is using the same type of
authentication.
• Subnet Enter the IP Address and Mask of the remote

• Any Allows any computer to access the tunnel.
Remote Secure Gateway
PFS PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) ensures that the initial
key exchange and IKE proposals are secure. To use PFS,
click the Enabled radio button.
The Remote Secure Gateway is the VPN device, such as a
second VPN router, on the remote end of the VPN tunnel.
Enter the IP Address of the VPN device at the other end
of the tunnel. The remote VPN device can be another
VPN router, a VPN server, or a computer with VPN client
software that supports IPSec. The IP address may either be
static (permanent) or dynamic, depending on the settings
of the remote VPN device.
IPSec Encryption Method Using encryption also helps
make your connection more secure. There are four
different types of encryption: ꢂDES, AES-ꢀꢁ8, AES-ꢀ9ꢁ,
or AES-ꢁꢄꢅ. You may choose any of these, but it must be
the same type of encryption that is being used by the VPN
device at the other end of the tunnel.
If the IP Address is static, select IP Addr. and enter the IP
address. Make sure that you have entered the IP address
correctly, or the connection cannot be made. Remember,
this is NOT the IP address of the local VPN Router; it is the
IP address of the remote VPN router or device with which
you wish to communicate. If the IP address is dynamic,
select FQDN for DDNS or Any. If FQDN is selected, enter
the domain name of the remote router, so the Router can
locate a current IP address using DDNS. If Any is selected,
then the Router will accept requests from any IP address.
IPSec Authentication Method Authentication acts
as another level of security. There are two types of
authentication: MD5 and SHA (SHA is recommended
because it is more secure). As with encryption, either
of these may be selected, provided that the VPN device
at the other end of the tunnel is using the same type of
authentication. Or, both ends of the tunnel may choose to
disable authentication.
IPSec DH Group This is the same as the ISAKMP DH Group
setting.
Key Management
IPSec Key Lifetime(s) In this field, you may optionally
select to have the key expire at the end of a time period of
your choosing. Enter the number of seconds you’d like the
key to be used until a re-key negotiation between each
endpoint is completed. The default is ꢂꢅ00 seconds.
Key Exchange Method IKE is an Internet Key Exchange
protocol used to negotiate key material for Security
Association (SA). IKE uses the Pre-shared Key to
authenticate the remote IDE peer. Select Auto (IKE) for the
Key Exchange Method. Both ends of a VPN tunnel must
use the same mode of key management. The settings
available on this screen may change, depending on the
selection you have made.
Pre-shared Key Enter a series of numbers or letters in
the Pre-shared Key field. Based on this word, which MUST
be entered at both ends of the tunnel, a key is generated
to scramble (encrypt) the data being transmitted over the
tunnel, where it is unscrambled (decrypted). You may use
any combination of up to 24 numbers or letters in this
field. No special characters or spaces are allowed.
Operation Mode Use this option to set the operation
mode to Main (default) or Aggressive. Main Mode
operation is supported in ISAKMP SA establishment.

The Router, by default, assigns an IP address range of
192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 using the DHCP server on
the Router. To set a static IP address, you can only use the
ranges 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99 and 192.168.1.150 to
192.168.1.254. Each PC or network device that uses TCP/IP
must have a unique address to identify itself in a network.

If you are having difficulties getting any Internet game,
server, or application to function properly, consider
exposing one PC to the Internet using DeMilitarized
Zone (DMZ) hosting. This option is available when an
application requires too many ports or when you are not
sure which port services to use. Make sure you disable all
the forwarding entries if you want to successfully use DMZ
hosting, since forwarding has priority over DMZ hosting.
(In other words, data that enters the Router will be checked
first by the forwarding settings. If the port number that
the data enters from does not have port forwarding, then

Does the Router support ICQ send file?
Yes, with the following fix: click ICQ menu => preference

I set up an Unreal Tournament Server, but others on the
LAN cannot join. What do I need to do?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the
Router will support?
If you have a dedicated UnrealTournament server running,
you need to create a static IP for each of the LAN computers
and forward ports 7777, 7778, 7779, 7780, 7781, and
27900 to the IP address of the server. You can also use a
port forwarding range of 7777 to 27900. If you want to use
the UT Server Admin, forward another port (8080 usually
works well but is used for remote admin; you may have to
disable this), and then in the [UWeb.WebServer] section of
the server.ini file, set the ListenPort to 8080 (to match the
mapped port above) and ServerName to the IP assigned
to the Router from your ISP.
The Router will support up to 253 IP addresses.
Is IPSec Passthrough supported by the Router?
Yes, you can enable or disable IPSec Passthrough on the
VPN > VPN Passthrough screen.
Where is the Router installed on the network?
In a typical environment, the Router is installed between
the cable/DSL modem and the LAN. Plug the Router into
the cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port.
Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game
server and play simultaneously with just one public IP
address?
Does the Router support IPX or AppleTalk?
It depends on which network game or what kind of game
server you are using. For example, Unreal Tournament
supports multi-login with one public IP.
No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet
and has become the global standard for communications.
IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to
route messages from one node to another, and AppleTalk,
a communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh
networks, can be used for LAN to LAN connections, but
those protocols cannot connect from the Internet to the
LAN.
How do I get Half-Life: Team Fortress to work with the
Router?
The default client port for Half-Life is 27005.The computers
on your LAN need to have “+clientport 2700x” added to
the HL shortcut command line; the x would be 6, 7, 8, and
on up. This lets multiple computers connect to the same
server. One problem: Version 1.0.1.6 won’t let multiple
computers with the same CD key connect at the same
time, even if on the same LAN (not a problem with 1.0.1.3).
As far as hosting games, the HL server does not need to be
in the DMZ. Just forward port 27015 to the local IP address
of the server computer.
What is Network Address Translation and what is it used
for?
Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP
addresses on the private LAN to one public address that is
sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security since
the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never
transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the
Router to be used with low cost Internet accounts, such
as DSL or cable modems, when only one TCP/IP address
is provided by the ISP. The user may have many private
addresses behind this single address provided by the ISP.
How can I block corrupted FTP downloads?
If you are experiencing corrupted files when you download
a file with your FTP client, try using another FTP program.
The web page hangs; downloads are corrupt, or nothing
but junk characters are being displayed on the screen.
What do I need to do?
Does the Router support any operating system other
than Windows 2000 or Windows XP?
Yes, but Linksys does not, at this time, provide technical
support for setup, configuration or troubleshooting of any
non-Windows operating systems.
Force your Ethernet adapter to 10Mbps or half duplex
mode, and turn off the “Auto-negotiate” feature of your
Ethernet adapter as a temporary measure. (Please look
at the Network Control Panel in your Ethernet adapter’s
Advanced Properties tab.) Make sure that your proxy

If DMZ Hosting is used, does the exposed user share the
public IP with the Router?
No.
If all else fails in the installation, what can I do?
Reset the Router by holding down the Reset button for ten
seconds. Reset your cable or DSL modem by powering the
unit off and then on. Obtain and flash the latest firmware
release that is readily available on the Linksys website,
Does the Router pass PPTP packets or actively route
PPTP sessions?
The Router allows PPTP packets to pass through.
Is the Router cross-platform compatible?
How can I be notified of new Router firmware upgrades?
Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is
compatible with the Router.
All Linksys firmware upgrades are posted on the
be downloaded for free. The Router’s firmware can be
upgraded using the Web-based Utility. If the Router’s
Internet connection is working well, there is no need
to download a newer firmware version, unless that
version contains new features that you would like to use.
Downloading a more current version of Router firmware
will not enhance the quality or speed of your Internet
connection, and may disrupt your current connection
stability.
Does the Router replace a modem? Is there a cable or
DSL modem in the Router?
No, this version of the Router must work in conjunction
with a cable or DSL modem.
Which modems are compatible with the Router?
The Router is compatible with virtually any cable or DSL
modem that supports Ethernet.
How can I check whether I have static or DHCP IP
addresses?
Will the Router function in a Macintosh environment?
Yes, but the Router’s setup pages are accessible only
through Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or
higher for Macintosh.
Ask your ISP to find out.
How do I get mIRC to work with the Router?
I am not able to get the web configuration screen for the
Router. What can I do?
Under the Firewall -> Port Forwarding tab, set port
forwarding to 113 for the PC on which you are using
mIRC.
You may have to remove the proxy settings on your
Internet browser, e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer. Or remove the dial-up settings on your browser.

computer in your home so that only those computers can
access your wireless network.
Appendix B:
Wireless Security Checklist
ꢃ. Enable encryption
Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so
homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them
at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by
sending information over radio waves, it can be more
vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network.
Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals
from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since
you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting
to your wireless network, you need to take some additional
steps to keep your network secure.
Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless
network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired
Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security
for wireless communication. Currently, devices that are
Wi-Fi certified are required to support WPA2, but are not
required to support WEP.
A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure
than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2
uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information
as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the
highest level of encryption supported by your network
equipment.
ꢀ. Change the default wireless
network name or SSID
WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the
only option available on some older devices that do not
support WPA.
Wireless devices have a default wireless network name
or Service Set Identifier (SSID) set by the factory. This
is the name of your wireless network, and can be up
to 32 characters in length. Linksys wireless products
use linksys as the default wireless network name. You
should change the wireless network name to something
unique to distinguish your wireless network from other
wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not
use personal information (such as your Social Security
number) because this information may be available for
anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks.
General Network Security Guidelines
Wireless network security is useless if the underlying
network is not secure.
•
Password protect all computers on the network and
individually password protect sensitive files.
•
•
Change passwords on a regular basis.
Install anti-virus software and personal firewall
software.
ꢁ. Change the default password
•
Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications
may open file sharing without your consent and/or
knowledge.
For wireless products such as access points, routers, and
gateways, you will be asked for a password when you
want to change their settings.These devices have a default
password set by the factory. The Linksys default password
is admin. Hackers know these defaults and may try to
use them to access your wireless device and change your
network settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes,
customize the device’s password so it will be hard to
guess.
Additional Security Tips
•
Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away
from exterior walls and windows.
•
Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways
off when they are not being used (at night, during
vacations).
ꢂ. Enable MAC address filtering
•
Usestrongpassphrasesthatareatleasteightcharacters
in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using
standard words that can be found in the dictionary.
Linksys routers and gateways give you the ability to
enable Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. The
MAC address is a unique series of numbers and letters
assigned to every networking device. With MAC address
filtering enabled, wireless network access is provided
solely for wireless devices with specific MAC addresses.

Avis d’Industrie Canada
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme aux
normes NMB-003 et RSS210 du Canada.
Avis de non-responsabilité concernant les
appareils sans fil
Les performances maximales pour les réseaux sans fil
sont tirées des spécifications de la norme IEEE 802.11.
Les performances réelles peuvent varier, notamment
en fonction de la capacité du réseau sans fil, du débit
de la transmission de données, de la portée et de la
couverture. Les performances dépendent de facteurs,
conditions et variables multiples, en particulier de la
distance par rapport au point d’accès, du volume du trafic
réseau, des matériaux utilisés dans le bâtiment et du
type de construction, du système d’exploitation et de la
combinaison de produits sans fil utilisés, des interférences
et de toute autre condition défavorable.
L’utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux
conditions suivantes :
1. il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et
2. il doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu,

maximum de 2 dBi. Les règlements d’Industrie Canada
interdisent strictement l’utilisation d’antennes dont le
gain est supérieur à cette limite. L’impédance requise
de l’antenne est de 50 ohms.
Afin de réduire le risque d’interférence aux autres
utilisateurs, le type d’antenne et son gain doivent
être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne soit pas supérieure
au niveau requis pour obtenir une communication
satisfaisante.
Avis d’Industrie Canada concernant l’exposition
aux radiofréquences :
Ce matériel est conforme aux limites établies par IC
en matière d’exposition aux radiofréquences dans un
environnement non contrôlé. Ce matériel doit être installé
et utilisé à une distance d’au moins 20 cm entre l’antenne
et le corps de l’utilisateur.
L’émetteur ne doit pas être placé près d’une autre antenne
ou d’un autre émetteur, ou fonctionner avec une autre
antenne ou un autre émetteur.
