              CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

PART 15_RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES--Table of Contents

 

                     Subpart C_Intentional Radiators

 

Sec. 15.202  Certified operating frequency range.



    Client devices that operate in a master/client network may be 

certified if they have the capability of operating outside permissible 

part 15 frequency bands, provided they operate on only permissible part 

15 frequencies under the control of the master device with which they 

communicate. Master devices marketed within the United States must be 

limited to operation on permissible part 15 frequencies. Client devices 

that can also act as master devices must meet the requirements of a 

master device. For the purposes of this section, a master device is 

defined as a device operating in a mode in which it has the capability 

to transmit without receiving an enabling signal. In this mode it is 

able to select a channel and initiate a network by sending enabling 

signals to other devices. A network always has at least one device 

operating in master mode. A client device is defined as a device 

operating in a mode in which the transmissions of the device are under 

control of the master. A device in client mode is not able to initiate a 

network.
