Redpine Signals, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential To Whomsoever It May Concern This letter is being issued to confirm that Redpine Signals, Inc., will ensure that the following information is included in the RS9113DB (FCC ID: XF6-RS9113DB, IC ID: 8407A-RS9113DB) Module’s Programming Manual for customers who use this module with different antennas to help them comply with the FCC/IC regulatory requirements for products which use the module’s modular approval. The list of antennas with which the module has been tested with and certified for FCC/IC are given in Table 1 below. Antenna Make Model/Part # Antenna Gain at 2.4GHz (dBi) Antenna Gain at 5GHz (dBi) Type of Antenna Redpine Signals - 0.99 4.42 Trace Molex PS-47950-001 3 4.6 External Fractus FR05-S1-NO-1-004 1.8 4.9 Chip Table 1: List of Antennas Used for RS9113DB FCC/IC Certification The RS9113DB Module’s Programming Reference Manual will include the information listed below. The Manual is provided to customers as part of the module’s collateral which also includes the module’s software and firmware. The module’s firmware applies the attenuations required to comply with the regulatory requirements based on the type of antenna programmed. The commands required to program the transmit power and the antenna type and the attenuations applied are given in the tables that follow. 1) Commands to program the antenna being used for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee – see Tables 2, 3 and 4. 2) Commands to set transmit power of the module for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee – see Tables 5, 6 and 7. 3) Transmit power and attenuation values used during testing with different Antennas – see Tables 9, 10, 11 and 12. 1.1 Commands to Program Antenna Type 1.1.1 Command to Program Antenna Type for Wi-Fi Command Name Program Antenna Type for Wi-Fi Description This command is used to program antenna being used by the module for Wi-Fi out of the list of certified antennas. This command needs to be given before creating the VAP in the normal mode and before the “./transmit” command in the Wi-Fi Performance Test mode.
