American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 December 2, 2005 RE: FCC ID: HDCTRC6410_ATCB002992 Attention: Gregory M. Snyder / Brian J. Dettling I have a few comments on this Application. Please note that further comments may arise in response to answers provided to the questions below. 1. Please note that the MPE states a maximum antenna gain of 21.1dBi. the test report states a maximum antenna gain of 21.1dBi. However, the manual mentions maximum antenna gains of up to 36dBi. Please note that any part 15 device must be tested with the highest antenna gain that is to be used with the device. If an antenna gain of 21.1dBi is the maximum antenna gain that is to be used with this device please remove the antenna gains that are higher than this from the tables in the manual (i.e. tables 1-5 showing antenna gains of 36dBi). Alternately, please test the highest gain antenna shown in tables listed in the manual. 2. Please note that the report indicates a channel frequency at the low end of 2417MHz. However, the plot on page 13 of the report shows that the center frequency on of the lowest channel would be approximately 2420MHz and not 2417MHz. Please explain. 3. Please note that the maximum power into a 21dBi gain antenna used under point to point conditions would be 25dBm. Please note that the conducted power listed in the report for this device is 26.93dBm. It then appears that you have overdriven the 21.1dBi gain antenna in the radiated emissions data by almost 2dB. Please explain and please provided data using the appropriate power required by 15.247(b)(4)(i).

Many responses refer you to additional exhibit(s) which has been uploaded to the application folder at the ATCB website. Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact us for any additional information that you may require. Regards, Gregory M. Snyder Chief EMC Engineer, Wireless/Telco Services Manager Brian J. Dettling Documentation Specialist WLL Project: 8957 1) Please note that the MPE states a maximum antenna gain of 21.1dBi. the test report states a maximum antenna gain of 21.1dBi. However, the manual mentions maximum antenna gains of up to 36dBi. Please note that any part 15 device must be tested with the highest antenna gain that is to be used with the device. If an antenna gain of 21.1dBi is the maximum antenna gain that is to be used with this device please remove the antenna gains that are higher than this from the tables in the manual (i.e. tables 1-5 showing antenna gains of 36dBi). Alternately, please test the highest gain antenna shown in tables listed in the manual. R. The manual has been revised on page 20 to state that the antenna data is provided for information only and the device is approved to operate with dish antennas with a maximum gain of 21.1dBi. Please see exhibit “6410 User Manual rev1”. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: HDCTRC6410 2 2) Please note that the report indicates a channel frequency at the low end of 2417MHz. However, the plot on page 13 of the report shows that the center frequency on of the lowest channel would be approximately 2420MHz and not 2417MHz. Please explain. R. The center of the low channel is actually 2419MHz. Some of the plots in the original test report had the incorrect center frequency listed on the graph due to some preliminary documentation. These have been corrected and the test report has been revised. Please see exhibit “6410 Test Report Rev 1”. 3) Please note that the maximum power into a 21dBi gain antenna used under point to point conditions would be 25dBm. Please note that the conducted power listed in the report for this device is 26.93dBm. It then appears that you have overdriven the 21.1dBi gain antenna in the radiated emissions data by almost 2dB. Please explain and please provided data using the appropriate power required by 15.247(b)(4)(i). R. During the radiated emissions testing the radio was adjusted to an output power level of 25dBm so as not to exceed the 36dBm EIRP limit. This information has been added to the revised test report.

Document 8957-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410 RF Exposure Evaluation Washington Laboratories, Ltd November 2005 Maximum Permissible Exposure Evaluation for Adtran TRACER 6410 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410 November 23, 2005 WLL PROJECT #: 8957 This report may not be reproduced, except in full, without the prior written consent of Washington Laboratories, Ltd. RF Exposure Evaluation Document 8957-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410 RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd November 2005 1 Maximum Permissible Exposure Evaluation for FCC ID: HDCTRC6410 1.0 Introduction This report has been prepared on behalf of Adtran Model: TRACER 6410 Transmitter to show compliance with the RF exposure requirements as defined in FCC §1.1307 and RSS-102. 1.1 Requirements Three different categories of transmitters are defined by the FCC in OET Bulletin 65. These categories are fixed installation, mobile, and portable and are defined as follows: ƒ Fixed Installations: fixed location means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Additionally, distance to humans from the antenna is maintained to at least 2 meters. ƒ Mobile Devices: a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitters designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as a wireless modem operating in a laptop computer, are considered mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found in 47 CFR §2.1091. ƒ Portable Devices: a portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user. Portable device requirements are found in Section 2.1093 of the FCC's Rules (47 CFR§2.1093). For this test report the Adtran TRACER 6410 is classified as a “Fixed Installation Device” and therefore must meet the limits as specified in §1.1307 and RSS-102. The FCC also categorizes the use of the device as based upon the user’s awareness and ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. The two categories defined are Occupational/ Controlled Exposure and General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. These two categories are defined as follows: Document 8957-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410 RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd November 2005 2 ƒ Occupational/Controlled Exposure: In general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, who have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This exposure category is also applicable when the exposure is of a transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where the exposure levels may be higher than the general population/uncontrolled limits, but the exposed person is fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means. Awareness of the potential for RF exposure in a workplace or similar environment can be provided through specific training as part of a RF safety program. If appropriate, warning signs and labels can also be used to establish such awareness by providing prominent information on the risk of potential exposure and instructions on methods to minimize such exposure risks. ƒ General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: The general population / uncontrolled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when exposure is not employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity. Warning labels placed on low-power consumer devices such as cellular telephones are not considered sufficient to allow the device to be considered under the occupational/controlled category, and the general population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to these devices. Since there are no warnings or training associated with this unit and it can be used by anyone, the Adtran TRACER 6410 is evaluated to the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure limits. 1.2 Radio Frequency Radiation Exposure Evaluation The highest RF output power of the unit was measured at 26.96dBm at 2464 MHz. According to §1.1310 of the FCC rules, the power density limit for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure is 1mW/cm 2 . To comply with the exposure limits for this section, individuals must maintain a safe distance from the transmit antenna. The following formula was used to calculate the minimum safe distance: 2 4R PG S π = Where: S = Power Density P = Output Power at the Antenna Terminals G = Gain of Transmit Antenna (linear gain) R = Distance from Transmitting Antenna Document 8957-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410 RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd November 2005 3 For this device, the calculation is as follows: S = FCC Limit = 1mW/cm 2 P = Output Power = 496.6 mW G = Worst Case Gain = 21.1 dBi = INVLOG(21.1/10) = 128.82 R = Based on 4.6 meters (15 feet) specified in User’s Manual S = {(496.6mW)(26302.7}/{(12.56)(460cm 2 )} = 0.024mW/cm 2 This power density is the worst case for maximum beam exposure. This level is below the limit of 1mW/cm2 MPE for general population/uncontrolled access. This unit is only installed by professionals and is limited in practice to inst…
