FCC REGULATORY STATEMENTS

FCC Certification

10/100 Fast Ethernet + 56K Fax/Modem PC Card
FCC ID: MQ4PLM56
Made in Taiwan

The United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and
the Canadian Department of Communications have established
certain rules governing the use of modems and other electronic
equipment.

FCC Part 68 Registration

This high speed 10/100 Fast Ethernet + 56K FAX/MODEM PC
Card complies with FCC Part 68 rules, and the use of this modem
is subject to the following restrictions:

1. The FCC has established rules which permit this device to be
directly connected to the telephone network. Standardized jacks
are used for these connections. This equipment should not be
used on party lines or coin phones.

2. If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm to
the telephone network; this device should be disconnected until
the source of the problem can be determined and until repair has
been made. If this is not done, the telephone company may
temporarily disconnect service.

3. The telephone company may make changes in it's facilities,
equipment, operation and procedures; if such changes affect the
compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is
required to give adequate notice of the situation with the FCC.

4. If the telephone company requests information on what
equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:

a. The telephone number to which this unit is connected.
b. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN).
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registration number.

Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many

devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most areas, the
sum of the REN's of all the devices on any one line should not
exceed 5.0. If too many devices are attached, they may not ring
properly.

FCC Part 15 Registration

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:

1) This device may not cause harmful interface, and

2) This device must accept any interface received, including
interface that may cause undesired operation.

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, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

(1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

(a) Increase the distance between the equipment and

receiver

(b) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.

(2) Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

1.2. ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Your DirectPort PC Card is a multifunction
communication device that lets you perform multiple
communication tasks at the same time:

(1) transmit and receive data up to 56,000 bps
(2) send and receive FAXes from computers or

FAX machines

(3) connect to an 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN
And it uses only one PCMCIA socket while it can
provide the functions listed above.

This PC Card is a credit-card-size Type II PCMCIA
adapter that complies with the PCMCIA 2.1 and
JEIDA 4.1 standards and works with computers that
incorporate a compatible interface.

It is Bell, ITU-T (formerly CCITT) and Hayes AT
commands compatible, allowing it to be used
worldwide with today's popular communication
software programs. You will be able to send and
receive faxes with any Group 3 fax machine. Using
standard phone lines and 10/100 Fast Ethernet, the
data communication functions of the 10/100 Fast
Ethernet + 56K Fax/Modem PC Card will enable you
