Appendix G

Software License Agreement

c.If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3.You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a.Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b.Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c.Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4.You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5.You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6.Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7.If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not

WMP600N specifications

Cisco Systems WMP600N is a Wireless-N PCI Adapter that accommodates the fast-moving demands of digital technology, particularly for home and office networking solutions. This component is designed to enhance the performance of computers that require high-speed wireless connectivity, making it an optimal choice for users who frequently engage in bandwidth-heavy activities such as online gaming, video conferencing, and HD streaming.

One of the standout features of the WMP600N is its support for dual-band functionality, which operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This dual-band capability is particularly valuable as it allows for flexibility in managing network traffic. The 2.4 GHz band provides a wider coverage area but tends to be more congested due to interference from other devices, while the 5 GHz band offers faster speeds with less interference, thereby enabling a smoother wireless experience.

The device utilizes MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, which significantly improves the speed and range of the wireless connection. MIMO involves multiple antennas transmitting and receiving data simultaneously, resulting in enhanced throughput and reliability. This technology is particularly useful in environments where signals may be obstructed by walls or other obstacles.

Another important characteristic of the WMP600N is its compatibility with a wide range of networking standards, including IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and of course, 802.11n. This ensures that users can connect to various router models without compatibility concerns, making it a versatile addition to any network setup.

Security is a primary concern for any wireless network, and the WMP600N does not disappoint. It supports advanced encryption protocols such as WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) to safeguard users' data and ensure secure connectivity. This added layer of protection is essential in today's digital landscape, where cyber threats are prevalent.

Installation and setup of the WMP600N are designed to be straightforward, with an easy-to-use installation wizard that assists users through the process. Furthermore, the device features a low-profile design, making it suitable for smaller computer cases without compromising the aesthetic appeal.

In summary, Cisco Systems WMP600N is a robust and efficient solution for high-speed wireless connectivity, integrating the latest technologies to deliver superior performance and security. Its dual-band capabilities, support for multiple networking standards, and MIMO technology make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking to enhance their digital experience.
