2     System Test Configuration

2.1    Justification

The EUT was configured for testing according to ANSI C63.10-2013 and FCC KDB 558074 D01 DTS Meas
Guidance v04.

The EUT was tested in a testing mode to represent worst-case results during the final qualification test.
The worst-case data rates are determined to be as follows for each mode based upon investigation by measuring
the average power, peak power and PPSD across all data rates bandwidths, and modulations.


2.2    EUT Exercise Software

The test firmware used was Tera Term, provided by Cisco Systems Inc., the software is compliant with the
standard requirements being tested against.

2.3    Duty Cycle Correction Factor

According to KDB 558074 D01 DTS Meas Guidance v04 section 6.0:

Preferably, all measurements of maximum conducted (average) output power will be performed with the EUT
transmitting continuously (i.e., with a duty cycle of greater than or equal to 98%). When continuous operation
cannot be realized, then the use of sweep triggering/signal gating techniques can be utilized to ensure that
measurements are made only during transmissions at the maximum power control level. Such sweep
triggering/signal gating techniques will require knowledge of the minimum transmission duration (T) over
which the transmitter is on and is transmitting at its maximum power control level for the tested mode of
operation. Sweep triggering/signal gating techniques can then be used if the measurement/sweep time of the
analyzer can be set such that it does not exceed T at any time that data is being acquired (i.e., no transmitter off-
time is to be considered).

      Requirements

4.1    Applicable Standards

According to FCC §15.203:

An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible
party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a
unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this
Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use
of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited.

And according to FCC §15.247 (b) (4), if transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used
the power shall be reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi.


According to ISEDC RSS-Gen §6.8: Transmitter Antenna

The applicant for equipment certification shall provide a list of all antenna types that may be used with the
transmitter, where applicable (i.e. for transmitters with detachable antenna), indicating the maximum
permissible antenna gain (in dBi) and the required impedance for each antenna. The test report shall demonstrate
the compliance of the transmitter with the limit for maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
specified in the applicable RSS, when the transmitter is equipped with any antenna type, selected from this list.

For expediting the testing, measurements may be performed using only the antenna with highest gain of each
combination of transmitter and antenna type, with the transmitter output power set at the maximum level.
However, the transmitter shall comply with the applicable requirements under all operational conditions and
when in combination with any type of antenna from the list provided in the test report (and in the notice to be
included in the user manual, provided below).

When measurements at the antenna port are used to determine the RF output power, the effective gain of the
device’s antenna shall be stated, based on a measurement or on data from the antenna’s manufacturer.

The test report shall state the RF power, output power setting and spurious emission measurements with each
antenna type that is used with the transmitter being tested.

For licence-exempt equipment with detachable antennas, the user manual shall also contain the following notice
in a conspicuous location:

This radio transmitter [enter the device’s ISED certification number] has been approved by Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum
permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum
gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Immediately following the above notice, the manufacturer shall provide a list of all antenna types which can be
used with the transmitter, indicating the maximum permissible antenna gain (in dBi) and the required impedance
for each antenna type.

** Except as provided in paragraph (g), fundamental emissions from intentional radiators operating under this
Section shall not be located in the frequency bands 54-72 MHz, 76-88 MHz, 174-216 MHz or 470-806 MHz.
However, operation within these frequency bands is permitted under other sections of this Part, e.g., Sections
15.231 and 15.241.


Report Number: R1902191-247                   Page 16 of 28           FCC Part 15C/ISEDC RSS-247/LP0002 Test Report


Cisco Systems Inc.                                               FCC ID: LDKCSPUD1977 IC: 2461N-CSPUD1977

As per FCC §15.247 (d), in any 100 kHz bandwidth outside the frequency band in which the spread spectrum or
digitally modulated intentional radiator is operating, the radio frequency power that is produced by the
intentional radiator shall be at least 20 dB below that in the 100 kHz bandwidth within the band that contains the
highest level of the desired power, based on either an RF conducted or a radiated measurement, provided the
transmitter demonstrates compliance with the peak conducted power limits. If the transmitter complies with the
conducted power limits based on the use of RMS averaging over a time interval, as permitted under paragraph
(b)(3) of this section, the attenuation required under this paragraph shall be 30 dB instead of 20 dB. Attenuation
below the general limits specified in §15.209(a) is not required. In addition, radiated emissions which fall in the
restricted bands, as defined in §15.205(a), must also comply with the radiated emission limits specified in
§15.209(a) (see §15.205(c).


6.2   Test Setup

The radiated emissions tests were performed in the 5-meter Chamber, using the setup in accordance with ANSI
C63.10-2013. The specification used was the FCC 15 Subpart C limits.

The spacing between the peripherals was 10 centimeters.

External I/O cables were draped along the edge of the test table and bundle when necessary.


6.3   Test Procedure

The EUT host, and all support equipment power cords were connected to the AC floor outlet.

Maximizing procedure was performed on the highest emissions to ensure that the EUT complied with all
installation combinations.

For radiated testing the EUT was set 3 meter away from the testing antenna, which was varied from 1-4 meter,
and the EUT was placed on a turntable, which was 0.8 meter and 1.5 meter above the ground plane for below
and above 1000 MHz measurements, the table shall be rotated for 360 degrees to find out the highest emission.
The receiving antenna’s polarity should be changed between horizontal and vertical.

The spectrum analyzer or receiver was set as:

Below 1000 MHz:
             RBW = 100 kHz / VBW = 300 kHz / Sweep = Auto

Above 1000 MHz:
              (1) Peak: RBW = 1MHz / VBW = 3MHz / Sweep = 100 ms
              (2) Average: RBW = 1MHz / VBW = 3MHz / Sweep = Auto




Report Number: R1902191-247                   Page 17 of 28           FCC Part 15C/ISEDC RSS-247/LP0002 Test Report


Cisco Systems Inc.                                                    FCC ID: LDKCSPUD1977 IC: 2461N-CSPUD1977


6.4     Corrected Amplitude and Margin Calculation

The Corrected Amplitude (CA) is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor (AF), the Cable Loss (CL), the
Attenuator Factor (Atten) and subtracting the Amplifier Gain (Ga) to indicated Amplitude (Ai) reading. The
basic equation is as follows:

          CA = Ai + AF + CL + Atten – Ga


For example, a corrected amplitude of 40.3 dBuV/m = Indicated Reading (32.5 dBuV) + Antenna Factor
(+23.5dB) + Cable Loss (3.7 dB) + Attenuator (10 dB) - Amplifier Gain (29.4 dB)

The “Margin” column of the following data tables indicates the degree of compliance within the applicable
limit. For example, a margin of -7 dB means the emission is 7 dB below the maximum limit. The equation for
margin calculation is as follows:

          Margin = Corrected Amplitude - Limit

7.1       FCC ID Label Requirements
As per FCC §2.925,

(a) Each equipment covered in an application for equipment authorization shall bear a nameplate or label listing
the following:
(1) FCC Identifier consisting of the two elements in the exact order specified in §2.926. The FCC Identifier shall
be preceded by the term FCC ID in capital letters on a single line, and shall be of a type size large enough to be
legible without the aid of magnification.

Example: FCC ID: XXX123
Where: XXX—Grantee Code, 123—Equipment Product Code

As per FCC §15.19,

(a) In addition to the requirements in part 2 of this chapter, a device subject to certification, or verification shall
be labeled as follows:

(3) All other devices shall bear the following statement in a conspicuous location on the device:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

(4) Where a device is constructed in two or more sections connected by wires and marketed together, the statement
specified above is required to be affixed only to the main control unit. If the EUT is integrated within another device then a
label affixed to the host shall also state, “Contains FCC ID: XXXXXX”

(5) When the device is so small or for such use that it is not practicable to place the statement specified under paragraph (a)
of this section on it, the information required by this paragraph shall be placed in a prominent location in the instruction
manual or pamphlet supplied to the user or, alternatively, shall be placed on the container in which the device is marketed.
However, the FCC identifier or the unique identifier, as appropriate, must be displayed on the device.


7.2       IC Label Requirements
As per IC RSP-100 Section 3.1, the certification number shall appear as follows:

                                              IC: XXXXXX-YYYYYYYY

Where:
          The letters “IC:” indicate that this is an Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s
           certification number, but they are not part of the certification number. XXXXXXYYYYYYYYYYY is
           the ISED certification number.
          XXXXXX is the CN assigned by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. Newly
           assigned CNs will be made up of five numeric characters (e.g. “20001”) whereas existing CNs may
           consist of up to five numeric characters followed by an alphabetic character (e.g. “21A” or “15589J”).
          YYYYYYYYYYY is the Unique Product Number (UPN) assigned by the applicant, made up of a
           maximum of 11 alphanumeric characters.
          The CN and UPN are limited to capital alphabetic characters (A-Z) and numerals (0-9) only. The use of
           punctuation marks or other symbols, including “wildcard” characters, is not permitted.

          The HVIN may contain punctuation marks or symbols but they shall not represent any indeterminate
           (“wildcard”) characters.

As per RSS-Gen §2.1 Equipment Labeling:

The application for equipment certification shall be submitted in accordance with Industry Canada’s Radio
Standards Procedure RSP-100, Radio Equipment Certification Procedure which sets out the requirements for
certification and labelling of radio apparatus. RSP-100 shall be used in conjunction with RSS-Gen and other
Radio Standards Specifications (RSSs) specifically applicable to the type of radio apparatus for which
certification is sought.
