Getting To Know Your BR03GM  
Overview  
The GN-BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO (Multi-Input & Multi-Output) ** router  
includes several devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Router, which  
lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network.  
There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your  
wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more  
hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. This router equip  
with powerful firewall and DoS protection, which can give the user maximum  
protection to prevent from damage by malicious internet user. The UPnP and  
MSN messenger support can provide the environment for user to surfing  
internet without any trouble.  
This product operates in 2.4 GHz frequency bands, providing fast (up to 54  
Mbps) and secure (support WPA, WPA2 and WEP) connections to 802.11 b/g  
networks. GN-BR03GM overcomes environment multi-path effect by MIMO  
feature to keep stable wireless performance.  
** MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) takes advantage of multiplexing to increase wireless bandwidth and range.  
MIMO algorithms send information out over two or more antennas and the information is received via multiple  
antennas as well.

Chapter 2  
Wireless Networking  
A wireless local area network (or Wi-Fi for short) is exactly like a regular local  
area network (LAN), except that each computer in the wireless network uses a  
wireless device to connect to the network. Computers in a wireless network  
share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name  
shared by the wireless devices belonging to the same 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. The big advantage of Wi-Fi is its simplicity. You can  
connect computers anywhere in your home or office without the need for wires.  
The computers connect to the network using radio signals, and computers can  
be up to 100 feet or so apart.  
Wireless Network Layout  
The BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO Router has  
been specifically designed for use with  
both your 802.11b and 802.11g products,  
and retains full backward compatibility.  
After you have finished setting up your  
GN-BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO Router,  
your home network will be similar to the  
diagram shown at the right.

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)  
The largest packet unit is sent from your computer to the network. Any  
message larger than MTU will be divided into smaller packets before being sent.  
You should keep the default setting (1500). Setting MTU size is largely a  
process of trial-and-error: If you suspect your MTU setting is causing a  
connection problem, start with the maximum value of 1500, and then  
reduce the size down to 1400 until the problem goes away.  
NAT Setup  
The Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard that allows multiple  
computers on a private network to share a single IP address.  
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a technology based on Internet standards  
and technologies, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML, that allows devices on a  
network to automatically connect with other devices.  
UPnP Delete Time  
Select the duration that UPnP will be active. Since allowing this may present a  
security risk, the default setting is 0.  
If the WAN IP address and LAN IP address obtained from DHCP  
server are from the same subnet, the LAN IP address will  
automatically change to another subnet and reboot the router.

authentication method using PPP dialup method. With CHAP, the server will  
send a challenging signal to a remote Router, which will send back an  
encryption key.  
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a simple PPP authentication  
protocol allowing a Router to send a simple user ID and password to another  
Router for authentication. PAP has been defined in RFC1334.

RF Type  
Select the radio frequency (RF) standard or ‘wireless mode’ from the  
drop-down list. 802.11g Mixed: Supports both11b and 11g simultaneously,  
also working with devices from different vendors.  
802.11g Only Mode  
The mixture of both 11b and 11g traffic on your wireless network results in the  
former reducing the performance of the latter. For this reason, the BR03GM  
802.11g Only Mode allows you to restrict all traffic to 11g (54Mbps) traffic only.  
Keep in mind, however that enabling this feature comes at the expense of  
eliminating all 11b based traffic will be received or transmitted by the BR03GM.  
Enable will restrict all traffic to 802.11g traffic, while disable will allow a mixture  
of both 11b and 11g. The default setting is disable.

operating in your area) by selecting a channel from the drop-down list.  
SSID  
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of your wireless network. The  
SSID is up to 32 ASCII characters in length and case sensitive (i.e. Letters in  
upper case “A~Z” and lower case “a~z” are unique). The default SSID is  
“GIGABYTE”. To change the SSID, type in the SSID you want to use in the  
SSID field and click Submit. If you make a change to the SSID, any wireless  
devices on your network must also be reconfigured to connect to the new  
network name.  
Rate  
Select a wireless data transmission rate from the drop- down list. The default  
setting auto/best automatically detects and sets the optimum transmission rate.  
Hidden SSID  
For security purposes, you may choose to hide your network’s SSID by  
selecting enable from the drop-down list. This will prevent computers scanning  
for the presence of wireless networks to detect your network name. The default  
setting is disable.  
Authentication Type  
Select an authentication type from the drop-down list. The default setting is  
Open System.  
Open System: The sender and the receiver do NOT share a secret key. Each  
party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to accept a randomly  
generated key. Once accepted, this key will only be used for a short period of  
time. Afterwards, a new key will be generated and agreed upon.  
Shared Key: Authentication is based upon a secret key shared by both the  
sender and the receiver. If Shared Key is selected, you cannot choose the  
WEP disable option.  
WPA Pre-shared key:, The WPA Pre-shared Key authentication standard uses  
a password or “ key” between 8 and 32 characters. This encryption key is  
changed after every dialog box using the Temporary Key Integrity Protocol  
(TKIP), which allows users to change keys based on dialog box and  
automatically synchronize keys between devices on the network. The TKIP  
encryption algorithm is stricter than the one used by WEP but is based on the  
same standard.  
WPA: The 802.1x authentication protocol, allows users to authenticate wireless  
network access through a RADIUS Server and is a required by WPA standard.  
If no RADIUS Server exists in your network environment, you still can use WPA  
through the use of WPA Pre-shared Key.  
WEP Key  
The GN-BR03GM supports two WEP standards: 64-bit and 128-bit. The 64-bits  
26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
GN-BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO Router  
encryption uses 40 bits as a secret key, (user-defined) and the remaining 24  
bits are reserved. The 128-bits encryption uses 104 bits as a secret key,  
(user-defined) and the remaining 24 bits are reserved.  
WPA Re-key  
Enabling the requirement for WPA rekeying of a Passphrase for increased  
security. Default is disable.  
WPA Re-key Timer  
Specify time (in minutes) for expiration of the current WPA Key.  
WPA PSK Passphrase  
The Passphrase must be between 8 and 64 characters.

The WDS Tab  
Figure 26: WDS Configuration  
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) technology enables several access points  
to increase the coverage of a wireless network. Although enterprises or home  
users can reduce most wiring problems by using access points that support  
WDS, they still need cables to connect external ISP.  
To use WDS, please make sure:  
All routers/AP’s participating in the WDS must use the same RF Channel  
DHCP (if used) must only be enabled on the bridge Router and not on  
the node AP’s.  
Example: Suppose Router1 is connected to the DSL modem, and uses DHCP  
to dish out IP’s to your WLAN. To use Router1 to bridge to a remote AP, key  
in AP’s Wireless MAC Address in Router1’s WDS configuration list and select  
“enable” then press Submit. In AP’s LAN settings, disable DHCP and assure  
the AP uses the same RF Channel as the Router1. You should now be able  
to connect to Router1 through AP.  
Note that bridging between different vendors wireless gear is not  
guaranteed. Your GN-BR03GM may only create a WDS environment with other  
Gigabyte Routers or GIGABYTE Access Points.

The Virtual Server Screen  
The Virtual Server screen allows you to manage the virtual server settings of  
the GN-BR03GM. There are two virtual server options: 1. The router has  
only one IP address or, 2. The router has multiple IP addresses (8 or 16 in most  
instances). If you have only one IP address click on the PPPoE/DHCP/Static  
tab. If you have multiple IP addresses, click on the PPPoE Unnumber tab. The  
DMZ Support tab allows you to enable a Demilitarized Zone (Zone) on your  
network.  
The DMZ Setting Tab  
Figure 29: DMZ Setup  
With a firewall setup, it sometimes necessary to place some clients (e.g.  
Internet games, video conferencing, or VPN connections) outside of the firewall  
while leaving the others protected. You can do this using a Demilitarized Zone.  
The DMZ feature allows you to specify the IP address of the computer that will  
be placed outside the firewall of your network. Enter the IP Address of your  
computer (e.g. 192.168.1.2) into the LAN IP Address field and click the Submit  
button.  
Note: DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer  
designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the  
protection of the firewall, and is exposed to exploits from the  
Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server can be used to  
attack your network.

Appendix A  
FAQ  
This section provides solutions to common problems that may occur during  
installation, configuration or use of the GN-BR03GM.  
Q: What is the default IP address for the BR03GM?  
A: 192.168.1.254  
Q: I can’t remember the password or IP address of the router.  
A: You can resolve this by pressing the “Init” button on the side of the router.  
You can also reset the Router from the Web Utility <Initialization Page>.  
The Router will reboot and all settings (including the default password) will  
be restored to their default values.  
Q: What is the default username and password for the BR03GM?  
A: Username is “admin” and password is “admin”.  
Q: Why do I have to setup ISP information into my Router?  
A: ISPs require a special login protocol, in which you must enter a login  
name and password in order to access the Internet. In order to share the  
Internet connection among several computers, you must configure it with  
the TCP/IP information that your one PC would normally use.  
Q: Where in the network do I connect the router?  
A: In a typical environment, the GN-BR03GM is installed directly onto the  
ADSL/Cable Modem. Plug the RJ45 Ethernet cable of the ADSL or Cable  
Modem into the WAN port of the Router.  
Q: Why should I use the GN-BR03GM to work as a DHCP server?  
A: Using the BR03GM Router as a DHCP server By default, the router will  
function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server,  
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all  
computers connected to the router's LAN. The assigned default gateway  
address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses will be assigned to  
the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu. Each  
pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses  
on the LAN. DCHP helps prevent IP conflicts.  
Q: What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?  
A: The IEEE 802.11g standard specifies data rates of up to 54 Mbps in the  
2.45-GHz band. It uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing  
(OFDM), which is provided by this standard and is compatible with  
802.11b standard offering speeds of about 11 Mbps. This standard uses  
Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation. Both 11g and 11b can  
operate at a range of up to 300 feet.

Configuring TCP/IP Settings  
Computers access the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission  
Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have  
TCP/IP installed and selected as its networking protocol. If a Network Interface  
Card (NIC) is already installed in your PC, then TCP/ IP is probably already  
installed as well. Please follow the steps in this chapter to assure the correct  
TCP/IP settings. For advanced users who know the TCP/IP settings are  
already correct, you may skip this section and proceed directly to Chapter 6  
Advanced Setup.  
Enabling DHCP to Automatically Configure TCP/IP Settings  
Each PC using accessing the wireless router must be assigned specific  
information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The  
simplest way to configure this is to allow the PC to automatically assign the IP  
by using a DHCP server. Follow the steps below to allow windows to  
automatically assign IP numbers for you.  
Step 1  
Click the Start button. Select Settings and then click the Control  
Panel icon.  
Step 2  
Double-click the Network and Dial-up Connection icon.

Glossary  
802.11e  
An IEEE standard that adds Quality of Service (QoS) features and multimedia  
support to the existing 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a wireless networks.  
ADSL  
Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a new modem technology that  
converts existing twisted-pair telephone lines into access paths for high-speed  
communication of various sorts.  
Auto-MDI/MDIX  
On a network hub or switch, an auto-MDI/MDIX port automatically senses if it  
needs to act as a MDI or MDIX port. The auto- MDI/MDIX capability eliminates  
the need for crossover cables.  
Auto-negotiate  
To automatically determine the correct setting. The term is often used with  
communications and networking  
DHCP  
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for  
automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used  
to automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration  
parameters such as the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other  
configuration information such as the addresses for printer, time and news  
servers.  
DMZ  
In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small  
network inserted as a "neutral zone" between a company's private network and  
the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access  
to a server that stores company data. Typically, the DMZ contains devices  
accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP  
(e-mail) servers and DNS servers.  
DNS  
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service.  
DNS is used mostly to translate between domain names and IP addresses, and  
to control Internet email delivery. Most Internet services rely on DNS to work. If  
DNS fails, web sites cannot be located and email delivery service will be  
suspended.  
Dynamic IP Address  
An IP address is automatically assigned to a user’s AP in a TCP/IP network  
typically by a DHCP server.

Firewall  
A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network.  
Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination  
of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users  
from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets.  
All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which  
examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified  
security criteria.  
Gateway  
A device, usually a Router, that connects hosts on a local network to other  
networks.  
IP Address  
Every PC on the Internet has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address.  
A typical IP address looks like this: 216.27.61.137  
IPSec  
IPSec stands for IP Security. It provides authentication and encryption over the  
Internet. It functions at Layer 3 and thus secures everything on the network. It  
has become a standard protocol used for virtual private networks (VPNs).  
MAC Address  
On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access  
Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. Usually written  
as: 01:23:45:67:89:ab  
MTU  
The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be sent or received.  
NAT  
A technique by which several hosts share a single IP address for accessing to  
the Internet.  
Ping (Packet Internet Groper)  
A utility to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by  
sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. PING is used  
primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.  
SSID  
SSID is the name representing the Router in WLAN.  
PPPoE  
Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the  
Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.  
QoS  
Quality of Service. Required to support wireless multimedia applications and  
64  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
GN-BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO Router  
advanced traffic management. QoS enables Wi-Fi access points to prioritize  
traffic and optimize the way shared network resources are allocated among  
different applications. Without QoS, all applications running on different devices  
have equal opportunity to transmit data frames. That works well for data traffic  
from applications such as web browsers, file transfers, or e-mail but it is  
inadequate for multimedia applications. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP),  
video streaming, and interactive gaming are highly sensitive to latency  
increases and throughput reductions and require QoS. QoS extensions for  
802.11 networks will be addressed in the upcoming IEEE 802.11e standard.  
Router  
A device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at  
least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP  
network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more  
networks connect.  
Subnet Mask  
A mask used to determine which subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP  
address has two components, the network address and the host address.  
Subnetting enables the network administrator to further divide the host part of  
the address into two or more subnets.  
TCP/IP  
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), the suite of  
communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet.  
VPN  
Virtual private networks are secured private network connections, built on top of  
publicly accessible infrastructure, such as the Internet or the public telephone  
network. VPNs typically employ some combination of encryption, digital  
certificates, strong user authentication and access control to provide security to  
the traffic they carry. They usually provide connectivity to many machines  
behind a gateway or firewall.  
WAN  
Wide Area Network, a communication network that covers a relatively broad  
geographic area, consisting of two or more LANs. Broadband communication  
over the WAN is often through public networks such as the ADSL or Cable  
systems, or through leased lines or satellites. To simplify it, please image  
network as a WAN.  
WEP  
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a data privacy mechanism based on a  
64/128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.  
WMM™  
Wi-Fi Multimedia. A group of features for wireless networks that improve the  
user experience for audio, video and voice applications. WMM is based on a  
subset of the IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard. WMM adds prioritized

GN-BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO Router  
capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and optimizes their performance when multiple  
concurring applications, each with different latency and throughput  
requirements, compete for network resources. By using WMM, end-user  
satisfaction is maintained in a wider variety of environments and traffic  
conditions. WMM makes it possible for home network users and enterprise  
network managers to decide which data streams are most important and assign  
them a higher traffic priority.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies  
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By  
contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change  
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to  
most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to  
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General  
Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses  
are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge  
for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can  
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these  
things.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to  
ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you  
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the  
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the  
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

GN-BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO Router  
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which  
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.  
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that  
there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on,  
we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced  
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.  
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger  
that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the  
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for  
everyone's free use or not licensed at all.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND  
MODIFICATION  
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright  
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program",  
below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the  
Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a  
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,  
translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as  
"you".  
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are  
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is  
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been  
made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any  
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate  
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to  
the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License  
along with the Program.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer  
warranty protection in exchange for a fee.  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based  
on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1  
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:  
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and  
the date of any change.  
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is  
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties  
under the terms of this License.  
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  
73

GN-BR03GM AirCruiser MIMO Router  
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 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.  
NO WARRANTY  
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR  
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN  
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES  
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED  
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO  
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM  
PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR  
CORRECTION.  
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL  
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR  
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,  
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING  
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU  
OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER  
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE  
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best  
way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under  
these terms.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each  
source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the  
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.  
one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.  
Copyright (C) yyyy name of author  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or  
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License  
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2  
of the License, or (at your option) any later version.  
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,  
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of  
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License  
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software  
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.  
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.  
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:  
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author  
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details  
type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome  
to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c'

for details.  
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General  
Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and  
`show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.  
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a  
"copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:  
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright  
interest in the program `Gnomovision'  
(which makes passes at compilers) written  
by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If  
your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary  
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License  
instead of this License.
