Helen Zhao Subject: FW: FW: Sonos Inc., FCC ID: SBVCR001, Assessment NO.: AN05T5034, Notice#1 8/22/2005 From: Tom Cokenias [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 6:27 PM To: Helen Zhao Subject: Re: FW: Sonos Inc., FCC ID: SBVCR001, Assessment NO.: AN05T5034, Notice#1 Hi Helen, Answers follow questions best regards Tom -----Original Message----- From: Compliance Certification Services [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 1:03 PM Subject: Sonos Inc., FCC ID: SBVCR001, Assessment NO.: AN05T5034, Notice#1 Question # 1 : This is a 802.11g device, by default, with 11b capability as well. The test report shows the EUT was tested at 802.11g mode only. Based upon following FCC QA, both modes need to be tested, please submit additional test data for 11b mode. Q: A primary question is if a device has both 802.11b (DSSS) and 802.11g (OFDM) capability, must both modulation modes be tested for EMC compliance? A: Yes, if a device is capable of operating with two different modulation types, both types need to be tested. ANS 1 This product by virtue of Sonos software does not have capability of operating on 802.11b, it can only operate on 802.11g. It does not associate with any other WiFi devices except for similar Sonos products also limited to 802.11g operation by virtue of software. Question # 2 : The test report (page 6) indicates "The EUT is a modified version of FCC ID: SBVCR001", which is not true. It might be "SBVCR000" instead. Please confirm. ANS 2 There was a typo in the report, the correct ID is SBVCR000 The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information within 30 days of the original e-mail date may result in application dismissal and forfeiture of the filing fee. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted.
