4655 Great America Parkway Santa Clara, California 95054 www.nortelnetworks.com To: Mr. Tim Johnson, American TCB From: David Waitt Subject: FCC ID RVW2230 compliance with FCC Part 15.407 (c),(d),(e),(g) Date: 28 Feb 2004 This letter attests to the compliance of models 2230 and 2230 INT access point to the above referenced FCC specification. If there are any questions or if additional information is required, please contact me at [email protected] On behalf of Alcatel, David Waitt 15.407 (c) The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. These provisions are not intended to preclude the transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes used by certain digital technologies to complete frame or burst intervals. Applicants shall include in their application for equipment authorization a description of how this requirement is met. Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then pass down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets (ACKs, CTS, PSPoll, etc...) are initiated by the MAC. There are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets are being transmitted. In addition, the product incorporates a watchdog timer. If the radio were to “lock up” the timer would reboot the radio where it would come up in the receive mode. 15.407(d) Any U-NII device that operates in the 5.15-5.25 GHz band shall use a transmitting antenna that is an integral part of the device. There are no external antennas currently certified for use with the VAP1200. The VAP1200 is only certified for use with the antennas integral to the unit. In the future, if use of external antennas is authorized by the FCC for use with the VAP1200, the firmware will disable the 5.15 – 5.25GHz band is external antennas are selected. 15.407(e) Within the 5.15-5.25 GHz band, U-NII devices will be restricted to indoor operations to reduce any potential for harmful interference to co-channel MSS operations. The access point is not intended for outdoor use. The manual will be modified to include a statement stating that outdoor use is not allowed. Additionally, the enclosure of the VAP is not weatherproof. 15.407(g) Manufacturers of U-NII devices are responsible for ensuring frequency stability such that an emission is maintained within the band of operation under all conditions of normal operation as specified in the users manual. The transmit frequency of the access point has been monitored while the device has been temperature cycled over its specified operating temperature range. Concurrently, the supply voltage was varied throughout its specified operating range. In all cases, no portion of the transmitted signal of the device drifted out of band.

To: Federal Communications Commission Industrie Canada From: Nortel Networks Subject: Theory Of Operations FCC: RVW2230 IC: 332R-2230 Date: 11 Mar 2004 Gentlemen, Below is a brief explanation of the operation of the Nortel access point radio The Nortel radio is an IEEE 802.11 A/B/G Access point (AP) intended to be professionally installed and configured in corporate and industrial environments. The access point is powered either by an external 48V power supply or via power over Ethernet. The device utilizes a mini PCI module manufactured by an outside vendor. The modules incorporated into the Omni Access Point radio are IEEE802.11 A/B/G mini PCI modules. However the functionality of the module is determined by the mini PCI slot in which the module is inserted. (See internal photos) The device does not include a “Turbo” mode. INTERNAL ANTENNA VERSION The AP utilizes integral antennas on the 802.11 B/G band. The access point effectively includes only a single 2.4GHz patch antenna, however, there are actually two 2.4 GHz antennas internal to the access point chassis. The module switches rapidly between the two antennas and when a signal is detected, the access point uses the antenna offering the best transmission characteristics. At any one time, there is only one antenna connected to the internal PCI module. The effective gain of the 2.4 GHz internal antenna path (the antenna switch and the antenna itself) is 6.8dBi. The diagrams below outline the RF path from the output of the mini PCI module to the integral antennas within the access point. In the internal antenna version shown below, the software prohibits the switching of the FET antenna switches. 2.4 GHz RF Block Diagram (Internal Antenna Version) 802.11 mini PCI module Antenna Diversity FET Switch Approx -1dB Trace Internal Patch Antennas, 7.8 dBi Each Trace Net effective 2.4 GHz antenna gain: 6.8 dBi Primary Output Aux Output FET Switch Approx -1dB INTERNAL/EXTERNAL ANTENNA VERSION Additionally, there is a version of the access point which allows connection of external antennas. When External antennas are connected to the access point, the configuration software switches the internal antenna switches into the EXT position. The antenna diversity functionality described earlier works in the same manor for the external antennas. The external antennas used with the access point must be “patch” type antennas and have a net effective gain (antenna gain - cable loss) equal to 6.8 dBi or less. At any one time, ONLY the internal or external antennas may be selected. It is NOT possible to configure the access point to rapidly toggle between external and internal antennas. The only difference between the internal only version and the internal / external version of the access point is the addition of a small coax cable to an external 15.203 compliant antenna connector in the chassis. 2.4 GHz RF Block Diagram (Internal / External Antenna Version) Additionally, the device has been tested for compliance to the FCC Part 15 Class A limits. A report has been prepared and is on file at Nortel Internetworking Inc. 802.11 mini PCI module Antenna Diversity FET Switch Approx -1dB Trace Internal Patch Antennas, 7.8 dBi Each Trace Net effective 2.4 GHz antenna gain: 6.8 dBi Primary Output Aux Output FET Switch Approx -1dB Power for the initial grant measured from this point. 802.11 A INTERNAL ANTENNA VERSION The access point utilizes integral antennas on the 802.11 A / B / G bands. The access point includes two integral 5 GHz patch antennas pointing 180 o from each other to create a somewhat omni directional 5 GHz pattern. The effective gain of the 5 GHz antenna path (the power divider and the antenna itself) is 7.4dBi. The diagrams below outline the RF path from the output of the mini PCI module within the access point to the integral antennas within the access point (Note that only the Subpart E, 15.401 UNII 5 GHz portion is covered by this particular report) 5 GHz RF Path Block Diagram (Internal Antenna Version) INTERNAL / EXTERNAL ANTENNA VERSION There is another version of the access point which allows the connection of an external 5 GHz antenna. This option can be selected by the configuration software. If an external 5 GHz antenna is used, it is permanently attached to the access point to meet FCC “Integral” antenna requirements and it is below 7.4 dBi net effective gain (antenna gain - cable loss) Note that in contrast to the internal antennas, only ONE external 5 GHz antenna can be used. The configuration software cannot be configured to rapidly switch between the internal and external antenna. The only difference between the two versions is the inclusion of a short coax and external connector in the housing. 5 GHz RF Path Block Diagram (Internal / External Antenna Version) If any further information is required, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email address below.

4655 Great America Parkway Santa Clara, California 95054 www.nortelnetworks.com Mobile Power Density Calculation for FCC ID: RVW2230 The Nortel Access Point (AP) is an IEE802.11 A / B /G radio. The access point operates on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands. Operating Environment: The operating environment for the for the radio in all cases is a fixed, uncontrolled environment, however, the devices are classified as being “Mobile”, Therefore the exposure at 20 cm is calculated. Fixed, Uncontrolled Environment: The FCC limit for the power density for uncontrolled exposure to RF devices operation at 2.4GHz and 5GHz at a distance of 20 cm is: 1 mW/cm 2 Power density is calculated from the following equation Exposure (mW/cm 2 ) = EIRP(mW) * Duty Cycle 4*PI* Radius 2 (cm) Where: Radius = 20 cm Duty Cycle = assumed to be 100% to yield a worst case result. The maximum allowed external antenna gain on 2.4 GHz is 6.8dBi The maximum allowed external antenna gain on 5 GHz is 7.4dBi 2.4GHz ISM Band MPE distance Calculation Using the highest power measured on the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
