LE-LAN devices shall contain instructions related to the restrictions mentioned in the above sections,
namely that:

1. the device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;

2. for devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the
bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with
the e.i.r.p. limit;

3. for devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the
band 5725-5850 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limits
specified for point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as appropriate; and

4. the worst-case tilt angle(s) necessary to remain compliant with the e.i.r.p. elevation mask
requirement set forth in Section 6.2.2(3)

of RSS-247 shall be clearly indicated.

The maximum conducted output power shall not exceed 250 mW or 11 + 10 log10B, dBm, whichev e r i s
less. The power spectral density shall not exceed 11 dBm in any 1.0 MHz band.

The maximum e.i.r.p. shall not exceed 1.0 W or 17 + 10 log

B, dBm, whichever is less. B is the 99%

10

emission bandwidth in megahertz. Note that devices with a maximum e.i.r.p. greater than 500 mW shall
implement TPC in order to have the capability to operate at least 6 dB below the maximum permitted
e.i.r.p. of 1 W.

2) Unwanted emission limits

i) For devices with both operating frequencies and channel bandwidths contained within the band
5250-5350 MHz, the device shall comply with the following:

a. All emissions outside the band 5250-5350 MHz shall not exceed -27 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. if the

equipment is intended for outdoor use; or

IV

b. All emissions outside the band 5150-5350 MHz shall not exceed -27 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. and any

emissions within the band 5150-5250 MHz shall meet the power spectral density limits of

Section 6.2.1

of RSS-247. The device shall be labelled “for indoor use only.”

ii) For devices with operating frequencies in the band 5250-5350 MHz but having a channel bandwidth
that overlaps the band 5150-5250 MHz, the devices’ unwanted emission shall not exceed

-27 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. outside the band 5150-5350 MHz and its power shall comply with the spectral
power density for operation within the band 5150-5250 MHz. The device shall be labelled “for indoor
use only.”

3) Additional requirements

In addition to the above requirements, devices operating in the band 5250-5350 M H z with a maxim um
e.i.r.p. greater than 200 mW shall comply with the following e.i.r.p. at different elevations, where θ is the
angle above the local horizontal plane (of the Earth) as shown below:

1. -13 dBW/MHz for 0° ≤ θ < 8°

2. -13 − 0.716 (θ-8) dBW/MHz for 8° ≤ θ < 40°

3. -35.9 − 1.22 (θ-40) dBW/MHz for 40° ≤ θ ≤ 45°

4. -42 dBW/MHz for θ > 45°

The measurement procedure defined in A nnex A

of RSS-247 shall be used to verify the compliance to

the e.i.r.p. at different elevations.

Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users)
of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference
and/or damage to LE-L AN dev ices .

Digital Transmission Systems (DTSs)

DTSs include systems that employ digital modulation techniques resulting in spectral characteristics
similar to direct sequence systems. The following applies to the bands 902-928 MHz and 2400-2483.5
MHz.

(1) The minimum 6 dB bandwidth shall be 500 kHz.

(2) The transmitter power spectral density conducted from the transmitter to the antenna shall not be
greater than 8 dBm in any 3 kHz band during any time interval of continuous transmission. This power
spectral density shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4(4), (i.e. the power
spectral density shall be determined using the same method as is used to determine the conducted
output power).

For DTSs employing digital modulation techniques operating in the bands 902-928 MHz and
2400-2483.5 MHz, the maximum peak conducted output power shall not exceed 1W. Except as
provided in Section 5.4(5), the e.i.r.p. shall not exceed 4 W.

As an alternative to a peak power measurement, compliance can be based on a measurement of the
maximum conducted output power. The maximum conducted output power is the total transmit power
delivered to all antennas and antenna elements, averaged across all symbols in the signalling alphabet
when the transmitter is operating at its maximum power control level. Power must be summed across
all antennas and antenna elements. The average must not include any time intervals during which the
transmitter is off or transmitting at a reduced power level. If multiple modes of operation are

V

implemented, the maximum conducted output power is the highest total transmit power occurring in
any mode.

(5) Fixed point-to-point systems in the bands 2400-2483.5 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz are permitted to
have an e.i.r.p. higher than 4 W provided that the higher e.i.r.p. is achieved by employing higher gain
directional antennas and not higher transmitter output powers. Point-to-multipoin t systems,2
omnidirectional applications and multiple co-located transmitters transmitting the same information are
prohibited from exceeding an e.i.r.p. of 4 W.

(6) Transmitters may operate in the band 2400-2483.5 MHz, employing antenna systems that emit
multiple directional beams simultaneously or sequentially, for the purpose of directing signals to
individual receivers or to groups of receivers, provided that the emissions comply with the following:

(i) Different information must be transmitted to each receiver.

(ii) If the transmitter employs an antenna system that emits multiple directional beams, but does not
emit multiple directional beams simultaneously, the total output power conducted to the array or arrays
that comprise the device (i.e. the sum of the power supplied to all antennas, antenna elements, staves,
etc., and summed across all carriers or frequency channels) shall not exceed the applicable output
power limit specified in sections 5.4(2) and 5.4(4). However, the total conducted output power shall be
reduced by 1 dB below the specified limits for each 3 dB that the directional gain of the
antenna/antenna array exceeds 6 dBi. The directional antenna gain shall be computed as the sum of
10 log (number of array elements or staves) plus the directional gain of the element or stave having the
highest gain.

(iii) If a transmitter employs an antenna that operates simultaneously on multiple directional beams
using the same or different frequency channels, the power supplied to each emission beam is subject
to the applicable power limit specified in sections 5.4(2) and 5.4(4). If transmitted beams overlap, the
power shall be reduced to ensure that their aggregate power does not exceed the applicable limit
specified in sections 5.4(2) and 5.4(4). In addition, the aggregate power transmitted simultaneously on
all beams shall not exceed the applicable limit specified in sections 5.4(2) and 5.4(4) by more than 8
dB.

(iv) Transmitters that transmit a single directional beam shall operate under the provisions of sections

5.4(2), 5.4(4) and 5.4(5).

5.5 Unwanted Emissions

In any 100 kHz bandwidth outside the frequency band in which the spread spectrum or digitally
modulated device is operating, the RF power that is produced 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 that the transmitter demonstrates
compliance with the peak conducted power limits. If the transmitter complies with the conducted power
limits based on the use of root-mean-square averaging over a time interval, as permitted under Section

5.4(4), the attenuation required shall be 30 dB instead of 20 dB. Attenuation below the general field
strength limits specified in RSS-Gen is not required.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Set up) is designed to ease setup of securit y Wi-Fi networ ks and subs equentl y network
management. This Wireless Router supports WPS features for AP mode, AP+WDS mode,
Infrastructure-Client mode, and the wireless root interface of Universal Repeater mode.

Simply enter a PIN code or press the software PBC button or hardware WPS button (if any) and a secure
wireless connection is established.

 PBC: If you find the WPS LED blinking for 2 minutes after you press the h ar d ware WPS button on the

device, it means that PBC encryption method is successfully enabled. And an authentication will
be performed between your router and the WPS/PBC-enabled wireless client device during this
time; if it succeeds, the wireless client d evic e connec ts to your dev ice, and t he W PS L ED tu rns
off. Repeat steps mentioned above if you want to connect more wireles s client devices to the
device.

 PIN：To use this option, you must know the PIN code from the wireless client and enter it in

corresponding field on your device while using the same PIN code on client side for such
connection.
