This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between tween the equipment and the receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commission rules. FCC Part 68 Compliance 1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. This unit bears a label which contains the FCC registration number ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, this infor- mation must be provided to the telephone company. 2. This equipment used the fol- lowing standard jack types for network connection: RJ11. 3. This equipment contains an FCC compliant modular jack. It is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using compatible modular plugs and cabling which comply with the requirements of FCC Part 68 rules. 4. The Ringer Equivalence Num- ber, or REN, is used to determine the number of devices which may be connected to the tele- phone line. An excessive REN may cause the equipment to not ring in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all equipment on a line should not exceed five (5.0). 5. In the unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company can temporarily dis- connect your service. The tele- phone company will try to warn you in advance of any such dis- connection, but if advance notice isn’t practical, it may disconnect the service first and notify you as soon as possible afterwards. In the event such a disconnection is deemed necessary, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. 6. From time to time, the tele- phone company may make changes in its facilities, equip- ment, or operations which could affect the operation of this equip- ment.

Ucentric Systems requests that the following documents regarding this submission for FCC ID: POPFMTRANSMITTER be kept confidential: 1. Block diagram 2. Schematic 3. Circuit Description 4. Bill of Materials The material above contains trade secrets or technical data which would customarily be guarded from competitors. We respectfully request that these documents not be available to the general public. Sincerely, Michael Buchholz EMC Manager

Please see responses and attachments below: If you have any other questions, please let me know. -Mike 1. Please provide data responsive to the power supply voltage variation requirements or 15.31(e). The product uses an off the shelf PC power supply. These supplies have historically proven to be very stable and do not vary with minor changes in input AC voltage. 2. The photos are identified as the FCC ID: UCSFMTRANSMITTER. Please explain. At the time the photos were taken, Ucentric indicated that thier grantee code was UCS. It was determined at a later date that this is incorrect. Corrected in new photo attachment. 3. I appear to have only one side of the transmitter base board. Please provide a set of photos which includes both sides of the base board. See new photo attachment. 4. Where is the base transmitter located in the setup photo? The base transmitter is located unter the ground plane. The base transmitter setup is in every way identical to that which was tested at Integrity. We believed it would be much easier to characterize the modified splitter without having to manually weed out the known emissions from the base unit. 5. The label does not contain the required 15.19(a)(3) statement. The device is small enough to qualify under 15.19(a)(5), but in that case the statement must appear in the manual. Please provide either a revised label or a revised manual. The label containing the required warnings is located on the base unit. The FCC ID label is on the splitter unit. Base unit label is attached. 6. The document "technicaljustification" which includes the Integrity test report is too large to submit to the FCC. Please provide an unprotected pdf copy of this document and I will extract the pages to submit to the FCC. I plan on sending only the third ITDS test report to the FCC. This should get it below the 2MB limit allowed by the FCC. Requested report is attached. Best regards Barry C.

FCC Application for Ucentric Systems •• FCC ID: POPFMTRANSMITTER •• Report No. EB0510-1 9-Jul-01 ______________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ Curtis-Straus LLC •• 527 Great Road •• Littleton, MA •• TEL (978) 486-8880 •• FAX (978) 486-8828 page 3 of 17 Summary The Ucentric Home Server System consists of a Base Unit (Model #’s: 1A0000-01, 1A0010-01, 1A0020-01, 1A0030-01, 1A0040-01, 1A0050-01, 1A0060-01, and 1A0070-01) and a Splitter (U.S. Model # UC60-00120-01, Canada Model # UC60-00121-01) which transmits to a TV and FM receiver via cables. Alternatively, the Splitter can utilize an antenna to transmit to the FM receiver. Testing was performed using the 1A0030-01 Base Unit. The different Base Unit model numbers indicate the LAN/WAN selection that is installed at the factory, which affects the choices between Ethernet, ADSL, or HPNA cards utilized for each network connection. These different network connection configurations have no bearing on the outcome of this testing. The unintentional emissions from the system utilizing the cables were measured by Integrity Design & Test Services, Inc. (NVLAP Lab Code: 200004-0, Report # 66397.e2). The measurements conducted at Curtis-Straus were to determine what additional emissions exist due to the added antenna, as generated in the base unit and splitter. The data from Curtis-Straus and Integrity was then analyzed to determine compliance as a Part 15 transmitter. Statement of Conformity The Ucentric Home Server has been found to conform with the following parts of the 47 CFR as detailed below: Part 2Part 15Comments 15.15(b)The product contains no user accessible controls that increase transmission power above allowable levels. 2.925 15.19The label is shown in the label exhibit. 15.21Information to the user is shown in the instruction manual exhibit. 15.27No special accessories are required for compliance. 15.203The antenna connector is not accessible to the user and therefore cannot be easily removed. (the antenna connector is inside the chassis underneath a soldered metal can) 15.205 15.209 The fundamental is not in a Restricted band and the spurious and harmonic emissions in the Restricted bands comply with the general emission limits of 15.209. 15.207The unit complies with the line conducted emission requirements of 15.207. 15.239(a)The unit complies with the bandwidth requirement of 15.239(a) with maximum input signal. The unit is tuned with software and therefore cannot operate outside the range of 88-108MHz pursuant to the requirement in 15.239(a) 15.239(b)&(c)The unit complies with the field strength limits referred to in 15.239(b) & (c).

Radiated testing was performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 1 or 3 meters. The actual test distance used is noted in the test data sheets. The device’s performance was investigated to 2GHz. Since the antenna can be operated in any orientation, the emissions were maximized in each of the three orthogonal axes and the maximum reading was recorded. The unit can be operated only at 200kHz increments from 91.1MHz to 95.9MHz. Three different operating frequencies were selected according to ambient conditions at the time. Harmonics of the fundamental were measured only for the unit operating at 91.7MHz due to the fact that emissions at those harmonic frequencies were below the noise floor.
