Dear Mr. Johnson: Below are the comments that you have provided regarding the application for certification referenced above. Our responses to those comments are in bold italic. Many responses refer you to additional exhibit(s) which has been uploaded to the application folder at the ATCB website. Please note that some of the changes requested, particularly to the User’s Manual are burdensome and frustrating to the Applicant. Adtran has had many systems approved and has a clear understanding of the requirements for professional installation. Hence, modifications of the manuals on a case-by-case base are burdensome and have created difficulties with this client/laboratory relationship. While the client appreciates the information conveyed, specific wording that conveys the same meaning—while meeting the requirements—must be given latitude when reviewing documentation. We hereby request that AmericanTCB consider the history and existing documentation when reviewing these applications, lest both companies lose a long-time client. Obviously, if new information is requested due to FCC policy or interpretations, it would be appreciated if a citation of said new requirement is included in the response. 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: 9258-9259 Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X 2 1) 731 Form Cites 2417 – 2464 MHz, while the block diagram, IC form, test report, and manual appear to cite 2419 – 2465 MHz. Please review/correct. R. The 731 form lists the correct frequency: 2419 – 2465 MHz 2) This device appears to incorporate a standard N antenna connection. To meet the requirements of 15.203 using a standard connector, this device must be limited to Professional Installation only. This requires a cover letter requesting and justifying how the applicant ensures professional installation to be provided. The letter should address the following 3 items: a) Marketing example: - The device cannot be sold retail, to the general public or by mail order. It must be sold to dealers or have strict marketing control. b) Requires professional installation; examples: - installation must be controlled. - installed by licensed professionals (EUT sold to dealer who hire installers) - installation requires special training ( special programming, access to keypad, field strength measurements made) What is unique, sophisticated, complex, or specialized about your equipment which REQUIRES it to be installed by a professional installer? c) Application example: -The intended use is generally not for the general public. It is generally for industry/commercial use. R. Please cite where a letter is required to meet the professional installation requirements of 15.203. The Adtran 6120 is professionally-installed as clearly described in the user guide. This has always been the case for the Adtran systems. See additional cover letter. 3) Generally the manual should include cautions against co-location as part of the RF exposure information as well. Please review. R. Acknowledged. Future revisions of the manual will include this verbiage. 4) The manual cites 4.6 meters RF exposure distance, while it appears that the safe distance is actually around 1.6 meters. Please explain. R. This has become the standard information that Adtran includes in their manuals. They prefer to list the further distance to maintain a certain clearance around the antenna. 5) The manual mentions firmware updates. Please note that Section 15.15(b) prohibits adjustments of any control by the user that will cause operation of a device in violation of the regulations. Accordingly, any proposal to allow the end user to choose extended channels on frequencies outside of an allowable frequency band in the USA is not acceptable or upgrade the firmware to be able to do this is not allowed. For example, a WLAN device operating according to Section 15.247 on channels 1-11 between 2.4 - 2.483.5 GHz must not have any user controls or software to allow the device to operate on channels 12 and 13 which are outside of the allowed USA band. For instance, the user should not be able to select alternative countries which would allow different channel plans outside of the allowed USA band or adjust the firmware to do so. Please explain how this device is compliant to this requirement. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X 3 R. Firmware updates do not allow the end user to change frequency range or change parameters that would cause the radio to operate outside of the USA allowed band or other settings as approved under this certification. See additional cover letter. 6) For installations requiring power reduction, please explain compliance to 15.15 (i.e. user should not have capability of adjusting power above levels needed at installation). R. This is only performed by the professional installation personnel and not by the end user. The end user of the system does not have this capability. 7) Regarding PSD, the span on plots show about 1.5 MHz and the sweep does not meet with span / 3 kHz. other plots show a span of 1 MHz. Please review. R. The graphs submitted were run at five 300 kHz span sweeps at 100 seconds for each sweep for the total 1.5MHz span. The 100sec sweep time shown on the graph indicates the setting for the last 300kHz sweep. The spans were set at 1.5MHz as indicated, however, the data collection software does not provide enough significant digits to display the 200kHz/di…

Dear Mr. Johnson: Below are the comments that you have provided regarding the application for certification referenced above. Our responses to those comments are in bold italic. 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: 9258-9259 1) We are unsure about your comment regarding the 731 form citing the correct frequency range of 2419- 2465 MHz. Please note: R. A correct Form 731 has been uploaded. We apologize for the discrepancy. 2) Regarding professional installation, please note that our intent is not to be burdensome, but this requirement does require adequate justification. It has been found that the simplest and most effective way to address this is through a cover letter specifically addressing the issue (note that it is also the best way to explain to many foreign applicants who commonly misunderstand the requirements). Additionally, in years past this is how the FCC has requested it. However if the information can be found other ways, it is acceptable. Note that we have seen where some manufacturers simply attempt to cite professional installation in the manual in attempt to meet the requirements. However note that simply placing this fact in the manual is not necessarily sufficient to the FCC. For instance, please note the FCC’s policy of marketing. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X 2 In this particular case, we do recognize that due to the design of the device both the installation and use (2 of the 3 items cited above) can be derived from the manual – and simply pointing to this fact in a response can be found as sufficient in some cases. Note however the manual itself can not adequately address the marketing aspect. We have found some manufacturers who simply cite professional installation in the manual but do not have any control of marketing – for example investigation finds that simply anyone with a credit card can purchase the device directly off the internet. Therefore investigations have led to insufficient professional installation premises in some cases. For this device simply provide an explanation on how the marketing aspect of the requirement is met. R. The client refers us to the corporate website, which indicates obtaining their equipment is ONLY through their authorized dealer network. The devices are not available through outside vendors. Please reference: http://www.adtran.com/adtranpx/Rooms/DisplayPages/LayoutInitial_webrQS _Q29udGFpbmVyPWNvbS53ZWJyaWRnZS5lbnRpdHkuRW50aXR5W09JRFtENkFDQjE0RDgxOTc3RjQyOD MwOTA1RDcyNkQ5NDdDMF1d 3) FYI....We understand your concern regarding manual information. In some cases please note that an amount of latitude can be given as given for many portions of your previous response. However it must be noted that while the manual may have been used before, each application must stand on its own. If through a particular review it is discovered something is missing or incorrect for a particular application, it should be corrected moving forward. R. Acknowledged. 4) FYI....We are still awaiting a sample label per your email to address the IC labeling requirements. R. A corrected IC form has been uploaded. The model listed on the form should match that shown on the label.

Document 9258-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X RF Exposure Evaluation Washington Laboratories, Ltd June 1006 Maximum Permissible Exposure Evaluation for Adtran TRACER 6410 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X June 28, 2006 WLL PROJECT #: 9258 This report may not be reproduced, except in full, without the prior written consent of Washington Laboratories, Ltd. RF Exposure Evaluation Document 9258-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd June 2006 1 Maximum Permissible Exposure Evaluation for FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X 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 9258-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd June 2006 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 2459 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 9258-MPE, Rev. 0 FCC ID: HDCTRC6410L2X RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd June 2006 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 instal…
