eBridge Labeling Integrator's Guide Silver Spring Networks DW_EDIT_SSN - Bridge FCC Labeling 080208.doc eBridge Labeling Integrator's Guide 1 Introduction The Silver Spring Networks eBridge is a FCC Part 15.247 compliant device that enables communication between Silver Spring Networks AMI network and intelligent endpoint device

(IED) connected to either the serial or Ethernet port of the eBridge. The eBridge transmits in the 902 to 928 MHz, ISM band and transfers data from the IEDs to Silver Spring Networks Access Points, Relays and/or other continuous power device acting as network relays. 2 eBridge Labeling The SSN eBridge has two labels relevant to unit assembly the FCC & Part Number label and the SSN MAC Address label. Both labels are located on the top side of the eBridge PCBA. The barcode format is Code 3 of 9. Figure 1 is an example of the FCC ID label that can be found in the location indicated in Silver Spring Networks 2 eBridge Labeling Integrator's Guide Figure 3. The size of the label is 1.5 x 1.0 inches. The barcode format is Code 3 of 9. Figure 1 FCC & Part Number Label for eBridge PCBA SSN PN 123-456789 FCC ID: OWS-NICxxx IC: 5975A-NICxxx 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. 996-000015A Figure 2 is an example of the MAC address label that can be found in the location indicated in Silver Spring Networks 3 eBridge Labeling Integrator's Guide Figure 3. The barcode format is Code 3 of 9.

Improper installation could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Figure 5 Sample Label for eBridge PCBA FCC ID: OWS-NIC506 IC: 5975A-NIC506 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. NOTE: For FCC compliance, the following text MUST be included in eBridge manuals and users guides. User installation is prohibited. The host meter should be installed so that people will not come within 20 cm (8 in.) of the antenna. The antenna of this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. disconnected. Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV technician for help. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Silver Spring Networks could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Silver Spring Networks 6 eBridge Labeling Integrator's Guide 2.1 FCC Guidelines for Devices Containing a Transmitter Module The following is an extract from FCC PART 15 UNLICENSED MODULAR TRANSMITTER APPROVAL, DA 00-1407, Released: June 26, 2000, Section 6 describing labeling requirements for devices containing a modular transmitter. Section 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID 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."
