Physical

Characteristics

& Overview

Following are the physical characteristics of the Surfer Modem.

Front

LED

Back		Power Adapter Connection
		Ethernet Cable Connection

The light (LED) on the top back of the unit gives you an indication of Surfer’s operational status. To provide you a wireless connection to the Internet, Surfer connects to Base Stations. Base Stations are the Service Provider’s wireless equipment including antennas that are placed all around the coverage area.

When the light blinks, Surfer is trying to synchronize with a Base Station. When the light is constant, Surfer has acquired synchronization with a Base Station. If the light is flashing quickly, this means Surfer is transmitting data to the Base Station.

The back of the unit is where you plug in the AC power adapter, which is connected to a power outlet, and the Ethernet cable, which is connected to your computer. There is no power button; when you plug the AC power adapter in, the unit comes on. The proper operating temperature of the Modem is 5-40° C.

Caution! Do not attempt to take the Modem apart. This may damage the Modem and void the Manufacturer’s warranty.
