Information in this document is subject to change without notice. Intel Corporation assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions in this document. Nor does Intel make any commitment to update the information contained herein. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS: Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the Intel(R) WiFi Adapter Information Guide index.htm[7/20/2021 7:22:10 PM] product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure. For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products. Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system- level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant.

The information provided in this document applies to the following Intel Wireless Adapter Modules. Model FCC ID AX411E2W PD9AX411E2 Software Security Description – KDB 594280 D02v01r03 Section II General Description 1. Describe how any software/firmware update will be obtained, downloaded, and installed. Software that is accessed through manufacturer’s website or device’s management system, must describe the different levels of security as appropriate. There is no downloadable software provided by the manufacturer that can modify critical radio transmitter parameters. All critical parameters are programmed in OTP memory at the factory and cannot be modified or overridden by third parties. 2. Describe the rf parameters that are modified by any software/firmware without any hardware changes. Are these parameters in some way limited, such that, it will not exceed the authorized RF characteristics? There are no rf parameters that can be modified. All rf parameters are programmed in OTP memory at the factory and cannot be modified or overridden by third parties. 3. Describe in detail the authentication protocols that are in place to ensure that the source of the RF related software/firmware is legitimate. Describe in detail how the software is protected against modification. The firmware is programmed at the factory and cannot be modified by third parties. 4. Describe in detail any encryption methods used to support the use of legitimate RF relatedsoftware/firmware. The firmware is programmed at the factory and cannot be modified by third parties therefore no encryption is necessary. 5. For a device that can be configured as a master and client (with active or passive scanning), explain how the device ensures compliance for each mode? In particular if the device acts as master in some band of operation and client in another; how is compliance ensured in each band of operation? T his is a client mo dule only. Third‐Pa r t y Acce ss Cont rol 1. Explain if any third parties have the capability to operate a US sold device on any other regulatory domain, frequencies, or in any manner that is in Third parties do not the capability to operate in any manner that is violation of the certification in the U.S. violation of the device’s authorization if activated in the U.S.. 2. Describe, if the device permits third‐party software or firmware installation, what mechanisms are provided by the manufacturer to permit integration of such functions while ensuring that the RF parameters of the device cannot be operated outside its authorization for operation in the U.S. In the description include what controls and/or agreements are in place with providers of third‐party fu nctionality to ensure the devices’ underlying RF parameters are unchanged and how the manufacturer verifies the functionality. RF parameters are programmed into OTP memory at the factory and cannot be reprogrammed or re-flashed by third parties. 3. For Certified Transmitter modular devices, describe how the module grantee ensures that hosts manufactures fully comply with these software security requirements for U‐NII devices. If the module is controlled through driver software loaded in the host, describe how the drivers are controlled and managed such that the modular transmitter pa rameters are not modified outside the grant of authorization. There are no rf parameters that can be modified. All rf parameters are programmed in OTP memory at the factory and cannot be modified or overridden by third parties. The module is not controlled by driver software on the host and cannot override critical rf parameters stored in module OTP memory. SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION DESCRIPTION – KDB 594280 D02v01r02 Section III USER CONFIGURATION GUIDE 1. Describe the user configurations permitted through the UI. If different levels of access are permitted for professional installers, system integrators or end‐users, describe the differences. No UI provided. a) What parameters are viewable and configurable by different parties? None b) What parameters are accessible or modifiable to the professional installer or system integrator? None i) Are the parameters in some way limited, so that the installers will not enter parameters that exceed those authorized? The module micro-code reads the parameters from the module OTP memory. These parameters cannot be modified or overridden by sw drivers. ii) What controls exist that the user cannot operate the device outside its authorization in the U.S.? Default mode is always FCC compliant. Other country modes cannot be activated without receiving three independent country codes from different APs, otherwise remains in FCC default mode (always FCC compliant) c) What parameters are accessible or modifiable by the end‐user? None i) Are the parameters in some way limited, so that The module micro-code reads the parameters from the the installers will not enter parameters that exceed those authorized? module OTP memory. These parameters cannot be modified or overridden by sw drivers. ii) What controls exist that the user cannot operate the device outside its authorization in the U.S.? Default mode is always FCC compliant. Other country modes cannot be activated without receiving three independent country codes from different APs, otherwise remains in FCC default mode (always FCC compliant) d) Is the country code factory set? Can it be changed in the UI? Default country code is set in the factory and no UI is provided for modification. i)If it can be changed, what controls exist to ensure that the device can only operate within its authorization in the U.S.? Programmed for default mode which is always FCC compliant. Always set for default for all start-ups, resets, timeouts or other host or network events. e) What are the default parameters when the device is restarted? Always FCC compliant 2.Can the radio be configured in bridge or mesh mode? If yes, an attestation may be required. Further information is available in KDB Publicatio…

Intel®Wi-Fi 6E AX411 Label Information Note: Due to the small device siz e 16mm x 25mm it is too small to imprint the FCCID and IC ID on the module. The font size required would need to be < size 4 font and is considered to require magnification for legibility. The ID's will be placed in the Information Guide. External host labeling is still required once integrated into host. FCC ID: PD9AX411E2 IC: 1000M-AX411E2
