Actiontec Electronics, Inc. FCC ID: LNQR3010UW 2 - SYSTEM TEST CONFIGURATION 2.1 Justification The host system was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a normally used by a typical user). The EUT was tested in the normal (native) operating mode to represent worst-case results during the final qualification test. 2.2 EUT Exercise Software The EUT exercising program used during radiated and conducted testing was designed to exercise the various system components in a manner similar to a typical use. The test software, terminal.exe, provided by the customer, is started the Windows 98 terminal program under the Windows 98 operating system. Once loaded, the program sequentially exercises each system component. The sequence used is as follows: 1. Lines of Hs scroll across the notebook monitor. 2. The modem(s) receives Hs. 3. The printer output Hs. This process is continuous throughout all tests. 2.3 Special Accessories As shown in section 2.5, all interface cables used for compliance testing are shielded as normally supplied by INMAC and their respective support equipment manufacturers. The host pc and other peripherals featured shielded metal connectors. 2.4 Schematics / Block Diagram Appendix A contains a copy of the EUT’s schematics diagram as reference. 2.5 Equipment Modifications No modifications were made by BACL Corporation to ensure the EUT to comply with the applicable limits and requirements.

Actiontec Electronics, Inc. FCC ID: LNQR3010UW 7 - SPURIOUS RADIATED EMISSION DATA 7.1 Measurement Uncertainty All measurements involve certain levels of uncertainties, especially in field of EMC. The factors contributing to uncertainties are spectrum analyzer, cable loss, antenna factor calibration, antenna directivity, antenna factor variation with height, antenna phase center variation, antenna factor frequency interpolation, measurement distance variation, site imperfections, mismatch (average), and system repeatability. Based on NIS 81, The Treatment of Uncertainty in EMC Measurements, the best estimate of the uncertainty of a radiation emissions measurement at BACL is +4.0 dB. 7.2 EUT Setup The radiated emission tests were performed in the open area 3-meter test site, using the setup in accordance with the ANSI C63.4 - 1992. The specification used was the FCC 15 Subpart C limits. The EUT was put in the front of the test table. The host PC system was placed on the center of the back edge on the test table. The modem was placed on the left side of the host PC system, and the printer was placed on the right side of the host PC system. The monitor was place directly above the host PC system. The rear of the EUT and peripherals were placed flushed with the rear of the tabletop. The keyboard was placed directly in front of the monitor, flushed with the front of tabletop. The mouse was placed next to the keyboard, flushed with the back of keyboard. 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. The host PC system was connected with 110Vac/60Hz power source. 7.3 Spectrum Analyzer Setup According to FCC Rules, 47 CFR §15.33 (a) (1), the system was tested to 26GHz. During the radiated emission test, the spectrum analyzer was set with the following configurations: Start Frequency ........................................................... 30 MHz Stop Frequency ........................................................... 26GHz Sweep Speed ............................................................... Auto IF Bandwidth .............................................................. 1 MHz Video Bandwidth ........................................................ 1 MHz Quasi-Peak Adapter Bandwidth.................................. 120 kHz Quasi-Peak Adapter Mode ..........................................

Actiontec Electronics, Inc. FCC ID: LNQR3010UW 7.4 Test Procedure For the radiated emissions test, the EUT and support equipment power cords were connected to the AC floor outlet. Maximizing procedure was performed on the six (6) highest emissions to ensure EUT compliance is with all installation combinations. All data was recorded in the peak detection mode. Quasi-peak readings was performed only when an emission was found to be marginal (within -4 dBµV of specification limits), and are distinguished with a "Qp" in the data table. 7.5 Corrected Amplitude & Margin Calculation The Corrected Amplitude is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Factor, and subtracting the Amplifier Gain from the Amplitude reading. The basic equation is as follows: Corr. Ampl. = Indicated Reading + Antenna Factor + Cable Factor - Amplifier Gain The “Margin” column of the following data tables indicates the degree of compliance with the applicable limit. For example, a margin of -7dBµV means the emission is 7dBµV below the maximum limit for Class B. The equation for margin calculation is as follows: Margin = Corr. Ampl. – Subpart C Limit 7.6 Summary of Test Results According to the data in section 11.7, the EUT complied with the FCC Title 47, Part 15, Subpart C, section 15.205, 15.207 and 15.247, and had the worst margin of: Intentional Emission, 30MHz to 26GHz, 3 meters -2.0 (Avg.) dBµV at 4823.10 MHz in the Vertical polarization, Low Channel -1.7 (Avg.) dBµV at 4873.94 MHz in the horizontal polarization, Middle Channel -2.9 (Avg.) dBµV at 4921.92 MHz in the Vertical polarization, High Channel Unintentional Emission, 30 to 1000MHz, 3 meters -1.7 dBµV at 361.00 MHz in the Horizontal polarization Report # R02050111_Rpt Page 14 of 15 FCC Part 15.247 Test Report
