GPT (USA) Inc 2975 Northwoods Parkway, Norcross GA 30071 GPT (USA) Inc is a Marconi Communications Company 1. Overall System Objective The system aims to improve the management of full service vending machines. This translates to reducing the number of visits to a particular machine, while reducing the time that a given product is sold-out, i.e. not available for sale. This increase in operating efficiency will produce increased sales, while allowing depot staff to support more machines, without increasing their daily workload. 2. System Architecture The system consists of 3 primary elements; these are the population of vending machines to be monitored, a Vending Management System, and a Graphical user interface terminal, based at the bottler's depot. 3. System Operation Each vending machine to be monitored is fitted with a telemetry device called a VIU, Vending Interface Unit. It is this unit for which FCC approval is sought. The VIU consist of two printed circuit boards, a motherboard and a communications interface board. The two boards are fitted within a single case, to become an operational unit, VIU. The VIU is fitted within the vending machine, usually behind the Perspex front screen, on a mounting plate. If the machine is electronic, the DEX/UCS port is used to obtain information on the machine status. If the machine is electromechanical, a separate electromechanical interface is fitted, which taps into the machine harness, and allows the VIU to monitor the operation of the machine. The VIU obtains its power either from the MDB port in the machine or via the electromechanical interface. An UL approved power pack can also be used to power the VIU. The VIU reports the machine status to the Vending Management system, via the integrated communications interface board. This board is in fact an integrated Mobitex data packet radio modem, and has been designed for operation with the BellSouth - RAM Mobitex network. An antenna is GPT (USA) Inc 2975 Northwoods Parkway, Norcross GA 30071 GPT (USA) Inc is a Marconi Communications Company Page 2 fitted into the top of the VIU case normally, i.e. within the machine. In areas of poor reception an external antenna mounted to the top of the vending machine may be required. The RAM network carries the radio traffic generated via the VIU, to the Vending Management System, which will be located in Atlanta, GA. The radio traffic is converted to an X25 data stream by the RAM network, which is then processed by the Vending Management System. Data from all the vending machines is stored at the Vending Management System, and is accessible to the bottlers. It is expected that with the exception of alarm calls, all transmissions from the VIU's will be at night, allowing the status of all the machines to be updated, before the bottlers start work the following morning. At the bottler's depot, the GUI will be used to contact the Vending Management System using the normal phone network and a modem, and will download the appropriate information. The GUI will then produce a set of reports, allowing the bottler to determine which vending machines need to be visited. The GUI and the Vending Management System are software programs running on standard computer platforms, and do not require FCC approval. 4. Early Field Trials The system concept has already been proven using approved RAM Mobitex radio's, external to the VIU case. However, the VIU has now been redesigned to operate with an integrated ram radio, and this design is expected to go in to full production shortly.

L. S. COMPLIANCE, Inc. FCC ID: N3M001GPT LSC-GPT 6 1.4 I NTRODUCTION On March 18, and April 15 of 1999, a series of Radiated Emissions tests were performed on a sample model of the GPT 2 watt 900 MHz modem. These tests were performed using the test procedures outlined in ANSI C63.4-1992 for intentional radiators, and in accordance with the limits set forth in FCC Part 90.210d and the Bell South MIS, 1998. These tests were performed by Thomas T Lee and Kenneth L. Boston, PE, of L. S. Compliance, Inc. and witnessed by John Lofgren of L. S. Research. 1.5 P URPOSE The above mentioned tests were performed in order to determine the compliance of the GPT product with limits contained in various provisions of Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 90.210. All radiated emissions tests were performed to measure the emissions in the frequency bands described by the above sections, and to determine whether said emissions are below the limits established by the above sections. These tests were performed in accordance with the procedure described in the American National Standard for methods of measurement of Radio- Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (ANSI C63.4-1992). Another document used as reference for the EMI receiver specification was the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) number 16-1 (1993). Reference was also made to sections of the Bell South MIS for 1998. 1.6 R ADIATED E MISSIONS T EST S ETUP The test sample was operated within the 3 meter Semi-Anechoic, FCC listed chamber located at L.S. Compliance in Cedarburg, WI. The sample was placed on an 80cm high wooden table, which was centered on the flush-mounted 2m diameter metal turntable. The test sample was operated on a regulated 12 volt DC power source. The test sample was configured to run in a continuous transmit mode during the measurements, while the output port was terminated with a non-radiating 50 ohm dummy load. One test sample set to operate on two of the standard channels was tested as an intentional radiator, in order to determine compliance at a frequency of 896 and 900 MHz, Please refer to Section 1.11 for pictures of the test setup. L. S. COMPLIANCE, Inc. FCC ID: N3M001GPT LSC-GPT 7 1.7 R ADIATED E MISSION T EST P ROCEDURE The fundamental and spurious (harmonic) emissions of the transmitter were tested for compliance to Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 90. For the calculations used to determine the limits applicable for the test sample, refer to Appendix A. These limits are expressed in decibels (dB) above 1 microvolt per meter The fundamental and spurious (harmonic) emissions of the transmitter were tested for compliance to Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 90.210 limits for transmitters in the SMR services. For the calculations used to determine the limits applicable for the test sample, refer to Appendix A. These limits are expressed in decibels below carrier level. (-dBc) The samples were tested from the lowest frequency generated by the transmitter (without going below 9 kHz) to the 10th harmonic of the fundamental frequency generated by the device. The samples were placed on a nonconductive (wooden) pedestal in the 3 Meter chamber and the antenna mast was placed such that the antenna was 3m from the test object. A biconical antenna was used to measure emissions from 30 to 200 MHz, a log periodic was used to measure emissions from 200 to 1000 MHz, and a double ridged waveguide horn was used to measure emissions above 1 GHz. The test object was set to operate in continuous transmit, and the resultant signals were maximized by rotating the turntable 360 degrees, and by raising and lowering the antenna between 1 and 4 meters. The test object was also given several different orientations to determine the maximum signal levels, using both horizontal and vertical antenna polarities. Signal levels found were compared to an equivalent signal level of a generated carrier radiated from a dipole located at the EUT position. The required level for the transmitter harmonics and spurious signals where measured by means of a radiated measurement made in …
