Product	Part Number	Rev.
WIC-1AM	800-08823-01	B0
WIC-2AM	800-08283-01	B0

Problem Description

The WIC-1AM and WIC-2AM were not FCC Class B Compliant.

Background

The WIC-1AM and WIC-2AM were originally released as FCC Class A compliant. The Cisco 1700 series of routers required these WIC cards to be modified to the more stringent FCC Class B compliance to maintain the overall FCC Class B compliance of the router.

Problem Symptoms

There are no physical symptoms or error messages generated. These WICs produced more RF emissions than allowed by FCC Class B compliance.

Workaround/Solution

Replace the affected hardware if FCC Class B certification is required in your Cisco 1700 router environment.
