On Sun, 05 May 2002 02:30:44 GMT, in the newsgroup ba.internet, "colgate" <colgate@myemail.com> from Prodigy Internet http://www.prodigy.com posted: > This value from FCC web site is fairly close, values from many well known > brand such as CISCO's 100mW is posted on FCC form 731 for FCC authorization > approval and that is a well quoted value. > > However, if somebody could post the FCCID of each 5435 and 5312 then it > could easily identified if there are two different batch and different > quality control from different mfg. The 720-5435 has the following markings: Sub-Assembly# 720.5435 Supplier par# 750.5435 SMC7004AWBR FCCID: HEDWG3004A-17 Here is the result of the FCC-ID search: <https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/oet/forms/reports/Search_Form.hts?mode=Edit&form=Exhibits&application_id=101328&fcc_id=HEDWG3004A-17> The first block-diagram document shows the card as a Harris (Intersil) HFA3841 PRISM II chipset. Looking at page 13 of "test report 1", it states that the measured transmitter output power is about 10dBm. 30dBm is 1W, so 20dB less is 100mW. There you go....100mW transmit power at the connector. <http://www.intersil.com/design/parametric/productinfo.asp?pn=HFA3841CN> Surprise, Surprise... The Accton page shows a card and router that look /strangely/ similar to the SMC and the PCMCIA card within... <http://www.accton.com/homepage/t3.htm#3> I assume the "gateway" that is shown looks like the "new" SMC box. FWIW: The SMC's switching chip is a Marvel 88E6050-RJJ. <http://www.marvell.com/Internet/Products/products/1,2414,2-16-164-28,00.html> The Processor is a Samsung S3C??? ARM (can't see the rest of part number - hidden by a stick-on bumper). The RF transceiver is a PCMCIA card. The card has absolutely NO markings on it. Half of the plastic "radome" is missing, exposing the top half of the PCB. The two antennas are hard-wired via coax to where the patch antennas *would* be. Cheers, Paul Grohe
