This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1.
this device may not cause harmful electromag netic interference, and
2.
this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operations.
Radio and Television Interference
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed a nd used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
·
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna or cable input device.
·
Increase the separ ation between the equipment and receiver.
·
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
·
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The user may find the following infor mation prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: The CIB
Interference Handbook and The CIB Telephone Interference Bulletin. These documents are available on the Internet
through the FCC Compliance and Interference Bureau Home Page at
Select CIB Interference Handbook or CIB Telephone Interference Bulletin.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate t his equipment.
FCC Part 68 Registration
1.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. This unit bears a label, which contains the FCC
registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, this information must be provided to
the telephone company.
2.
This equipment uses the following standard jack types for network connection: RJ11-6
3.
This equipment contains an FCC compliant modular jack. It is designed to be connected to the telephone
network or premises wiring using compatible modular plugs and cabling which comply with the requirements
of FCC Part 68 rules.
4.
In the unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company can
temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company will try to warn you in advance of any such
disconnection, but if advance notice isn't practical, it may disconnect the service first and notify you as soon
as possible afterwards. In the event such as disconnection is deemed necessary, you will be advised of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
5.
From time to time, the telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, or operations,
which could affect the operation of this equipment. If this occurs, the telephone company is required to

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines,
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important
in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make electrical ground connections by themselves, but should contact the
appropriate inspection authority or an electrician, as appropriate.

Glossary
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) - Transports information
to and from customers and networks.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) - This is a protocol that packs
digital information into 53-byte cells which are switched throughout a
network over virtual circuits.
Bandwidth - This is the amount of data that can be transmitted over a
given time period.
DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) - This is a
network device that receives signals from multiple customer Digital
Subscriber Line connections and places them on higher speed lines with
multiplexing techniques for the fastest phone line technology available.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - This is a protocol for
automatic TCP/IP configurations providing static and dynamic address
allocation and management.
DNS (Domain Naming System) - This is a mechanism used in the
Internet for translating names of host computers into addresses.
Encryption Type - This is the mathematical process whereby encoding
information is created for the purposes of ciphering data.
Filter - This is an operating parameter used in LAN bridges and routers
that when set, will cause these devices to block the transfer of packets
from one LAN to another.
G.lite - Officially known as G.992.2, it is now a standard way to install
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line service. G.lite makes it possible to
have Internet connections to home and business computers at up to 1.5
Mbps over regular phone lines.
G.dmt - This refers to the ADSL standard approved by the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU). G.dmt indicates full rate ADSL which
provides standards for higher speed ADLS than G.lite. G.dmt provides
maximum data rates of 8 Mbps downstream to the subscriber and 1.5
Mbps upstream from the subscriber.
Gateway - This is an entrance and an exit to a communications network.
IP (Internal Protocol) - This allows a packet of information to travel
through many networks and LANs.
LAN (Local Area Network) - This is a network base covering a local
geographic area.
Modulation Type - A modulation is the process of varying characteristic
elements of the electrical carrier waves.
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) - This is a basic voice service
available in residences throughout the United States.
