l Network names (SSID) of the specific wireless networks that you want to connect to. l WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key information (if any) for the networks you want to connect to. l For Microsoft Windows networking, your customer name and workgroup name. l For your network account, your user name and password. l Your IP address (if not using a DHCP server) Things you should know When you start your computer, your Broadcom BCM94398FCREF7X7 PCI-E Custom card detects certain wireless networks that are within range. Before you can connect to these and other wireless networks, you must configure a profile for each network using the information you obtained from your network administrator. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (defined in the IEEE 802.11g standard) that encrypts data sent over radio waves. The use of the WEP key is optional and can be enabled or disabled. If the network you are connecting to has enabled WEP, you must also enable WEP in the network profile and set the WEP key to match the WEP key used by the network. Otherwise, you cannot connect to the network. Broadcom BCM94398FCREF7X7 network The Broadcom BCM94398FCREF7X7 solution allows you to make a wireless connection to a network, as illustrated below.

Broadcom Corporation QDS-BRCM1096 Request for Modular Approval Request for Limited Modular Approval Section 15.212 Modular Transmitters Requirements EUT Conditions Comply (Y/N) Single Modular Approval Requirements Refer to external photos. Shield is over the radio circuit module. Y Y Y Y N All inputs to the modules are buffered through logic or microprocessor inputs. Refer to Schematics. Internal 3.3V power regulator. Refer to schematics. Module contains a hirose connector. The module will go inside final product where the antenna(s) will be integral to the end product, which can be considered permanently attached. Compliance with FCC requirements is host independent (and the radio module was tested in a stand-alone configuration) but requires installation of appropriate firmware by the host integrator. For this reason this is a limited modular approval, limiting distribution and use of the modular approval to host integrators operating under a professional services agreement

(LoA) with Broadcom. 1 2 3 4 5 The radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own shielding. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of Sections 15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). The professional installation provision of Section 15.203 is not applicable to modules but can apply to limited modular approvals under paragraph (b) of this section. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing for compliance with Part 15 requirements. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be the length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting 6 7 equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified and commercially available

(see Section 15.31(i)). The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number.

(A) If using a permanently affixed label, the modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC identification number, and, if the FCC identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1 or Contains FCC ID:

XYZMODEL1. Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization.

(B) If the modular transmitter uses an electronic display of the FCC identification number, the information must be readily accessible and visible on the modular transmitter or on the device in which it is installed. If the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following:

Contains FCC certified transmitter module(s). Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The user manual must include instructions on how to access the electronic display. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rules or operating requirements that ordinarily apply to a complete transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. Refer to label provided. Y Refer to manual Y 8 The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements in its final configuration. Refer to MPE calculation in the Test report Y A limited modular approval may be granted for single or split modular transmitters that do not comply with all of the above requirements, e.g., shielding, minimum signaling amplitude, buffered modulation/data inputs, or power supply regulation, if the manufacturer can demonstrate by alternative means in the application for equipment authorization that the modular transmitter meets all the applicable Part 15 requirements under the operating conditions in which the transmitter will be used. Limited modular approval also may be granted in those instances where compliance with RF exposure rules is demonstrated only for particular product configurations. The applicant for certification must state how control of the end product into which the module will be installed will be maintained such that full compliance of the end product is always ensured.

This LOA template is only for agreements and authorization with specific host integrators on these type of modular approvals. As such, the LoAs provision of the information for countries listed in Exhibit 1 (test reports /

grants / certificates for the module) may help the host integrator in cases where for example the country approval information is not public or where the certificate is actually part of the report, e.g. Japan. Even the FCC reports are useful to host integrators to determine appropriate test cases for the verification tests recommended in KDB 996369 D04 of the modular KDB guidance series of publications. As documented in the modular installation instructions, the general term OEM manufacturer referenced in the LoA is limited to the Host integrator.
