⚠
Any changes to hardware, hosts or co-location configuration may require new radiated emission
and SAR evaluation and/or testing. Any changes or modifications NOT explicitly APPROVED by
u-blox may cause the NORA-W2 series module to cease to comply with the FCC rules part 15 thus
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment on the US market.
⚠
Any changes or modifications NOT explicitly APPROVED by u-blox AG may invalidate compliance
with FCC rules part 15 and subsequently void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
⚠
The end-product manufacturer (OEM integrator) is responsible for verifying the end-product
compliance with FCC Part 15, subpart B limits for unintentional radiators through an accredited
test facility.
6.4.2
Configuration control and software security of end-products
☞
“Modular transmitter” hereafter refers to FCC ID.
As the end-product must comply with the requirements addressed by the OET KDB 594280
, the
host product integrating the NORA-W2 must comply with the following requirements:
•
Upon request from u-blox, the host product manufacturer will provide all of the necessary
information and documentation to demonstrate how the requirements listed below are met.
•
The host product manufacturer will not modify the modular transmitter hardware.
•
The configuration of the modular transmitter when installed into the host product must be
within the authorization of the modular transmitter at all times and cannot be changed to
include unauthorized modes of operation through accessible interfaces of the host product.
The Wi-Fi Tx output power limits
approved by FCC grant must be followed. In particular, the
modular transmitter installed in the host product will not have the capability to operate on the
operating channels/frequencies referred to in the section(s) below, namely one or several of
the following channels: 12 (2467 MHz), 13 (2472 MHz). The channels 12 (2467 MHz), 13 (2472
MHz), are allowed to be used only for modules that are certified for the usage (“modular
transmitter”). Customers must verify that the module in use is certified as supporting DFS
client/master functionality.
•
The host product uses only authorized firmware images provided by u-blox and/or by the
manufacturer of the RF chipset used inside the modular transmitter.
•
The configuration of the modular transmitter must always follow the requirements specified
in
and cannot be changed to include unauthorized modes of operation
through accessible interfaces of the host product.
•
The modular transmitter must when installed into the host product have a regional setting
that is compliant with authorized US modes and the host product is protected from being
modified by third parties to configure unauthorized modes of operation for the modular
transmitter, including the country code.
•
The host product into which the modular transmitter is installed does not provide any
interface for the installer to enter configuration parameters into the end product that exceeds
those authorized.
•
The host product into which the modular transmitter is installed does not provide any
interface to third parties to upload any unauthorized firmware images into the modular
transmitter and prevents third parties from making unauthorized changes to all or parts of
the modular transmitter device driver software and configuration.

OET KDB 594280 D01
lists the topics that must be addressed to ensure that the end-
product specific host meets the Configuration Control requirements.
☞
OET KDB 594280 D02
lists the topics that must be addressed to ensure that the end-
product specific host meets the Software Security Requirements for U-NII Devices.
