SOFTWARE SECURITY DESCRIPTION General 1. Describe how any software/firmware Description updates for elements than can affect the devices RF parameters will be obtained, downloaded, validated and installed. For software that is accessed through manufacturers website or devices management system, describe the different levels of security as appropriate. 2. Describe the RF parameters that are modified by any software/firmware without any hardware changes. Are these parameters in some way limited such that any other software/firmware changes will not allow the device to exceed the authorized RF characteristics?

3. Describe in detail the authentication protocols that are in place to ensure that the source of the RF-related software/firmware is valid. Describe in detail how the RF-related software is protected against modification. Software/firmware will be obtained by the factory, downloaded from the ODM website, and installed by the end user. Software is accessed through Web UI when computer is connected. The RF parameters cannot be modified by software. All these parameters will not exceed the authorized parameters. The firmware has been complied as binary file. It couldnt change the setting RF parameter through this binary file. It is read-only without change. No any authentication protocol is used. The RF Parameters is put in read-only partition of EUTs flash and are only installed in the factory. RF parameters including frequency of operation, power setting, modulation type, antenna types or country code setting will be locked in this partition. 1
