ZyXEL G-570S User’s Guide Chapter 6 Wireless Screens81 6.13 Security Parameters Summary Refer to this table to see what other security parameters you should configure for each authentication method/ key management protocol type. You enter manual keys by first selecting 64-bit WEP,128-bit WEP or 152-bit WEP from the WEP Encryption field and then typing the keys (in ASCII or hexadecimal format) in the key text boxes. MAC address filters are not dependent on how you configure these security features. 6.14 Wireless Client WPA Supplicants A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the wireless client how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicants are the WPA patch for Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client, and Meetinghouse Data Communications' AEGIS client. The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's built- in "Zero Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it. 6.15 Configuring Wireless Security In order to configure and enable wireless security; click SETTINGS > WIRELESS > Security to display the Security screen.

Both the AP and the wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. You can configure up to four 64-bit, 128-bit or 152-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be used at any one time.

WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA. Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption.

Choose this option only if your wireless clients support it. Pre-Shared KeyThe encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.

Confidentility Letter (Permanent) Attention: Application Examiner Re: Request for confidentiality Applicant: ZyXEL Communications Corporation FCC ID: I88G570S To whom it may concern, Permanent Confidentiality Request is hereby submitted by ZyXEL Communications Corporation to withhold permanently from public review certain portions of the application for equipment certification for the referenced FCC identifiers. This request for confidentiality is made pursuant to 47 CFR 0.457(d) of the FCC Rules. In particular, the following sections of the application are to be kept permanently confidential: • Schematics • Detailed Block diagrams • Detailed Operational/Functional Description Rationale for request for confidentiality: ZyXEL Communications Corporation has invested considerable time and materials in research and development to produce the referenced product. [Permanent confidentiality: Disclosure of the permanently confidential portions of this application to competitors would not only give them significant competitive advantages in developing similar products, but would also disclose successful implementation of unpublished, leading edge technology developed by us.] If you have questions or need further information, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Yi Wang ZyXEL Communications Corporation

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 December 20, 2005 RE: ZyXEL Communications Corporation FCC ID: I88G570S I have a few comments on this Application. Depending on your responses, kindly understand there may be additional comments. 1.) The label for this device shows the wording “Contains WLAN PC Module FCC ID: I88G570S”. This is the label language typical for a Modular Approval according to DA 00-1407. It is not appropriate for a complete stand-alone Access Point. A check at the FCC website shows there is no previously Certified module under FCC ID: I88G570S. Therefore I am a bit confused. Are you seeking Certification on a module that can be used in many different products? Or should FCC ID: I88G570S refer exclusively to the entire Access Point? If the entire Access Point should be approved under this FCC ID, then the label must be changed and the reference to “Contains Inside...” must be removed. 2.) Please confirm if the changes required for EMC compliance shown in the photographs (ferrite in the antenna cable and copper tape on the circuit board) will be carried over into production. 3.) Please provide an MPE Estimation of the RF Exposure levels at 20cm for this device. William H. Graff President and Director of Engineering mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.

Introduction The EUT operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. Due to the EUT (include antenna) at its normal operation distance is at least 20 cm from the human body, the EUT was defined as a Mobile Device. The reason to do the MPE Evaluation is to avoid the RF hazard to human body. The maximum output power and gain of the antenna were used to calculate the limited Power density (S) at 20cm distance away from the product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. 2. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b). Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Average Time (minutes) (A) Limits for Occupational / Control Exposures 30-300 61.4 0.163 1.0 6 300-1500 - - F/300 6 1500-100,000 - - 5 6 (B) Limits for General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 30-300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300-1500 - - F/1500 30 1500-100,000 - - 1.0 30 F= Frequency in MHz FCC ID. : I88G570S Report No.: EME-051170 Page 4 of 5 3. RF Exposure calculations From §FCC 1.1310 table 1, the maximum permissible RF exposure for an uncontrolled environment is 1mW/(cm 2 ) Power density (S) is calculated by the following formula: S = (P * G)/4πR 2 where, S = Power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Output power to antenna (mW) R = Distance between radiating structure and observation point (cm) G = Gain of antenna in numeric π = 3.1416 Example: Assume a mobile device operates at 2412MHz and its maximum output power is 50mW, and the maximum gain of antenna is 1 (numeric) /0dBi. then the power density (S) = (50 * 1)/4*π*20 2 = 0.00995 (mW/cm 2 ) FCC ID. : I88G570S Report No.: EME-051170 Page 5 of 5 4.
