NetVanta 100 Series Hardware Installation Guide FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
61700412E1-34C Copyright © 2010 ADTRAN, Inc. 5
FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, 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.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Compliance Notice: Radio Frequency Notice NetVanta 100 Series Hardware Installation Guide
6 Copyright © 2010 ADTRAN, Inc. 61700412E1-34C
FCC Compliance Notice: Radio Frequency Notice
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.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Placement and Range Guidelines
The maximum indoor range for the NetVanta 150 device is 328 feet (100 m). However, the physical
placement of your wireless access point (WAP) can affect the operating range of the unit. When
determining the placement of your WAP, consider the following guidelines to avoid significant
performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the WAP:
• Place the WAP away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, large metal surfaces,
microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
• Place the WAP in an elevated location, such as a high shelf that is near the center of the wireless
coverage area for all mobile devices.
RF Exposure Warning for North America and Australia
To meet FCC and other national safety guidelines for RF exposure, the antennas for
this device must be installed with a minimum separation distance of 7.9 inch (20 cm)
from any person. The antennas shall not be colocated with any other antenna or
radio transmitter.

NetVanta 100 Series Hardware Installation Guide Notification for Devices with Detachable Antennas
61700412E1-34C Copyright © 2010 ADTRAN, Inc. 7
Notification for Devices with Detachable Antennas
The NetVanta 150 has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and to have a maximum
gain of 2 dB (for the 802.11bg radio) and 3 dB (for the 802.11a radio). Antennas not included in this list or
having a gain greater than 2 dB (for the 802.11bg radio) and 3 dB (for the 802.11a radio) are strictly
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
A current list of acceptable antennas is shown below.
List of Acceptable Antennas
Additional Notes
1. To reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems, the
NetVanta 150 is intended only for indoor use in the 5150 to 5250 MHz band.
2. The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the 5250 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz
bands) should comply with the e.i.r.p. limit. The NetVanta 150 is not configurable for these frequency
ranges in the FCC coverage areas.
3. The NetVanta 150 complies with the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the 5725 to
5825 MHz band) for the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and nonpoint-to-point operation.
4. High-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the 5250 to
5350 MHz and 5650 to 5850 MHz bands and these radars could cause interference to LAN devices.

condition and three single color LEDs for the ETH, 5 GHz/802.11a, and 2.4 GHz/802.11bg conditions.
Table 1 describes these LEDs.
