Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number of advantages over traditional wired systems. WLAN is flexible and easy to setup and manage. They are also more economical than wired LAN systems. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN transmit and receive data through the air. WLAN combine data connectivity with user mobility. For example, users can roam from a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN. Using WLAN, users can conveniently access-shared information, and network administrators can configure and augment networks without installing or moving network cables. WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost saving features: • Mobility: WLAN provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization, providing service opportunities that are impossible with wired networks. • Ease of Installation: Installing is easy for novice and expert users alike, eliminating the need to install network cables in walls and ceilings. • Scalability: WLAN can be configured in a variety of topologies to adapt to specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full i…

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 September 2, 2001 RE: The Linksys Group, Inc FCC ID: PKW-WMP11 Please address the following concerns. 1.) Form 731 is rating the power output of the card in terms of EIRP. This is incorrect. Please resubmit a new Form 731 showing conducted power. 2.) The photographs cannot be held Confidential. Please resubmit new Request for Confidentiality letter. 3.) Pages 16, 17, and 18 indicate a common SMA connector is used with this device. This is not permitted. Please refer to 47CFR 15.203 for further guidance. As of this writing, “non-standard” connectors {i.e. reverse threaded SMA connectors} are permitted. There is no standard list of permissible connectors from which you select. This is a continuing hot topic at the FCC’s OET. I suggest you contact Joe Dichoso if additional guidance is required.

The measurement uncertainty is less than +/- 2.6dB, which is calculated as per the NAMAS document NIS81. 2. The calibration interval of the above test instruments is 12 months and the calibrations are traceable to NML/ROC and NIST/USA. 4.6.3 TEST PROCEDURE The transmitter output was connected to the spectrum analyzer via a low lose cable. Set both RBW and VBW of spectrum analyzer to 100 kHz with suitable frequency span including 100 kHz bandwidth from band edge. The band edges was measured and recorded. FCC ID: PKW-WMP11 Report No.: RF900717R02A 43 Issued: August 31, 2001 4.6.4 EUT OPERATING CONDITION Same as Item 4.3.5 4.6.5 TEST RESULTS The spectrum plots are attached on the following 2 pages. D2 line indicates the highest level, D1 line indicates the 20dB offset below D2. It shows compliance with the requirement in part 15.247(C). NOTE: The band edge emission plot on the following 2 pages shows 20.0dB delta between carrier maximum power and local maximum emission in restrict band (2.48391GHz). The emission of carrier strength list in the test result of channel 11 at the item 4.2.6 (Page 26) is 88.2dBuV/m, so the maximum field strength in restrict band is 88.2-48.78=39.42 dBuV/m which is under 54 dBuV/m limit.
