FCC Registration Required for Operation under Rule 15.240
Radio transmissions from the i-Port F310 are governed in the US by FCC Part 15 rules, and in Canada
by corresponding Industry Canada regulation RSS-210 . Still other regulations apply in Europe and
other countries.
The i-Port F310 is shipped with the default mode of operation corresponding to FCC 15.231. All other
Identec Solutions equipment complies with 15.231. Equipment operating under this rule does not
require FCC Registration.
FCC Rule 15.240 offers some advantages in thru-put and flexibility for applications involving
containerized cargo. I-Port F310 can be configured for operation under this rule only by a qualified
technician downloading factory-supplied configuration files.
There are restrictions in the geographical locations where such equipment may be deployed so as to
maintain a 40 km separation from five long-range radar sites in the US and Alaska. The FCC
requires notification of the locations where 15.240 operating equipment is to be installed. Identec
Solutions notifies the FCC of the initial shipping destination. However, it is the responsibility of
the end user to mail a notification of installation to the FCC as described in the form provided below
upon initial installation. It is also required that the user mail a new notification in the event the
equipment is re-located.
The form is to be mailed to:
