American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 May 8, 2003 RE: Accton Technology Corporation FCC ID: HED2835WACC After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. General/EMC 1) The FRN Number provided with the application (FRN 0004281911) does not match Accton Technology Corporation. Please explain and/or please provide their correct FRN number. 2) Please provide photographs underneath the shield located on the bottom side of the board. 3) Please provide information regarding the RBW & VBW settings for PEAK radiated emissions > 1 GHz. 4) Because this device has been tested for SAR there are not any manual statements necessary regarding 2.5 cm. Please remove this information from the users manual (page 13 of 16). SAR Items 5) Although the device was tested with 0 cm separation for perpendicular to the phantom, this distance can cause loading of the antenna such that inaccurate readings are obtained. The FCC requests that this position typically be tested at 1.5 cm spacing. Note that you may include 0 separation distance if you wish, but the application should at least include the 1.5 cm spacing test for perpendicular to the phantom (see attached document). 6) Page 12 of 62 mentions validation at 900 MHz. Please explain. 7) Please correct the measurement uncertainty to include the expanded uncertainty as well. 8) Please comment of if the scan procedures given on page 13 for the system validation also apply to the general scan procedures for the test scans. 9) The test report does not appear to provide a description of the validation dipole used, other than including the calibration certificate. Please add this information to the report. Timothy R. Johnson Examining Engineer Direct Phone: 404-414-8071 mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application.

Intertek Testing Services ETL SEMKO FCC ID. : HED2835WACC Report No.: EME-030506 Page 2 of 100 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The Accton sample device, model # 3CRWE154G72 was evaluated in accordance with the requirements for compliance testing defined in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01). Testing was performed at the Intertek Testing Services facility in Hsinchu, Taiwan. For the evaluation, the dosimetric assessment system INDEXSAR SARA2 was used. The phantom employed was the box phantom of 2mm thick in one wall. The total uncertainty for the evaluation of the spatial peak SAR values averaged over a cube of 1g tissue mass had been assessed for this system to be ±27.5%. The device was tested at their maximum output power declared by the Accton In summary, the maximum spatial peak SAR value for the sample device averaged over 1g was found to be: Phantom Position SAR 1g , mW/g 2mm thick box phantom wall The EUT inserted into the left side of notebook PC, with EUT perpendicular to the phantom, 0 mm separation with 802.11b (DSSS Modulation). 1.282 mW/g. In conclusion, the tested Sample device was found to be in compliance with the requirements defined in OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) for body configurations.

The conducted output power was measured before and after the test using an average power meter. Plug the EUT into Notebook and turn on the power, then run the test program “cTxRx 1.4.1” under Windows OS. The EUT was transmitted continuously during the test. After verifying the maximum output power, we found the maximum output power of 802.11b was occurred at 11Mbps data rate, and 802.11g was occurred at 12Mbps. Three typical hosts as listed in Section 1.4.1 above were subjected to the SAR testing. 802.11g (OFDM Modulation) was found the power exceeding 100 mW in one host and repeated on the other two hosts. All the test data were performed under the above transmission rate.
