Interference Statement

FCC Part 68

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the bottom of this
equipment is a label that contains the FCC Registration Number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must provide this information
to the telephone company upon request.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to the
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is
called.

In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may
connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

If the modem causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in
advance.

But if advance notice isn't practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You
will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your
equipment.

If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted telephone service.

If you experience trouble with this modem, please contact your dealer for
repair/warranty information. The telephone company may ask you to disconnect

this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are
sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

Installation

This device is equipped with a USOC RJ11C connector.

FCC Part 15

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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 the equipment 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.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

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

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

FCC Caution

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided
instructions and a minimum 20 cm spacing must be provided between computer
mounted antenna and person’s body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and
feet) during wireless modes of operation.

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 interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the authority to operate equipment.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC
radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less
than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

R&TTE Compliance Statement

This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/EC OF
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL of March 9, 1999 on radio
equipment and telecommunication terminal Equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity (R&TTE).

The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC
(Telecommunications Terminal Equipment and Satellite Earth Station Equipment)
As of April 8, 2000.

Safety

This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who
install and use it. However, special attention must be paid to the dangers of
electric shock and static electricity when working with electrical equipment. All
guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must therefore be allowed at
all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.

3.3. Manually Set ISP

If you cannot find the ISP from the wizard, please follow the procedures below to
set the ISP settings manually.

Before configuring the ISP manually, please check with your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) what kind of the service is provided such as PPPoE, PPPoA or
RFC1483/2684. Gather the information as illustrated in the following table and
keep it for reference.

PPPoE VPI/VCI, VC-based/LLC-based multiplexing, Username,

Password (and Service Name).

PPPoA VPI/VCI, VC-based/LLC-based multiplexing, Username,

Password.

Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, and Domain Name
System (DNS) IP Address (It is a fixed IP Address).

1. Please select “Other”.

2. Please check with your ISP the connection type of the ADSL line. Select the
Connection Type and click “Next”.

12

4. IP Address Setting

If you lost the CD-ROM or you prefer the traditional web setup, please follow the
procedures of chapter 4 and chapter 5 to configure the router. Using the router to

get into the Internet, the PCs in the network must have Ethernet adapter installed
and be connected to the router either directly or through a hub or switch. The
TCP/IP protocol of each PC has to been installed and the IP Address of each PC
has to be set in the same subnet as the router.

The router’s default IP Address is 192.168.2.1 and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0. PCs can be configured to obtain IP Address automatically

through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP Address in order to be in the
same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is enabled
and will dispatch IP Address to PC from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200. It is
strongly recommended to set obtaining IP address automatically.

This section shows you how to configure your PC’s so that it can obtain an IP
address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating
systems. For other operating systems (Macintosh, Sun, etc.), please follow the
manual of the operating systems. The following is a step-by-step illustration on
how to configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically for Windows
