Appendix G

Software License Agreement

limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8.If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9.The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you

may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10.If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

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.
