Section B) FCC Grant
The MPR Series RFID Cards received a Part 15 Spread Spectrum Transmitter grant by the FCC. This type of grant is subject to various terms and conditions, and it allows the RFID Cards to be used without requiring a separate FCC certification solely due to use of the RFID Card. Please refer to WJ’s product documentation and user’s manual for more specific and important details.
Please refer to the FCC’s website to view the grant and related documentation. An Application Note entitled "FCC Grant", which can be found in the MPR Installation CD's "/Documentation/App Notes" folder includes copies of much of that documentation as downloaded from the FCC website. Please note that the FCC website has the official documents and those included in the Application Note are for ease of reference only and may become antiquated over time.
Chapter 1) Introduction
This document describes how to install the WJ Multi-Protocol RFID (MPR) PC Card on computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems. Chapter 2) discusses how to direct Windows to use the proper driver for the PC Card on a PC. Chapter 3) explains how to determine the COM port numbered associated with a correctly installed MPR.
These instructions are written for, and tested on the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. For other MS Windows operating systems the details of some instructions may be slightly different, but by following the onscreen instructions the installation will proceed similarly.
Chapter 2) Hardware installation
1) Insert WJ MPR Demo CD into CD-ROM drive.
2) Insert MPR PC-Card into PCMCIA Type II slot.
3) A message should appear that new Hardware was found: "WJCI Multi-protocol reader".
4) Windows launches the "Found New Hardware Wizard".
5) If asked whether Windows should connect to Windows Update to search for software, select "No, not this time".
6) Click Next.
a. In Windows XP, select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" when asked what you want the wizard to do.
b. In Windows 2000, select "Display a list of the known drivers".
7) Click Next to continue.
8) Select "Don't search..." when asked choose search and installation options.
9) Click Next to continue.
10) On the "Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware." screen,
a. Unselect "Show compatible hardware" (if selected)
b. For Manufacturer select "(Standard port types)"
c. For Model select "Communications Port"
11) Click "Have
Disk..."
12) Browse to the file "WJCIRFID.inf" in the "Drivers\Windows" directory of the CDROM (often D:).
13) Click Open.
14) "Copy manufacturer's files from:" should be D:\Drivers\Windows (the location of WJCIRFID.inf).
15) Click OK.
16) Click Next to continue.
17) Windows may warn that the software has not passed Windows Logo testing. This is fine, as you are actually just linking to Windows' own drivers. Click "Continue Anyway".
18) The wizard will now install the driver.
19) Click Finish.
Chapter 3) Determining MPR COM Port in Windows XP
1) Open the Control Panel from the Start Menu.
2) Open the System panel.

4) Click the Device Manager button.
5) Expand
the device tree to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
6) If an MPR is properly seated in the PC Card port, and the WJCIRFID.inf file has been installed, one of the resident COM Ports will say something like "MPR5000 Series (COM9)". In this example, the card is enumerating itself as COM9, and COM9 should be selected from MPR Demo's the “Connect to MPR” Dialog Box's Drop Down Box.
