Notice to Users of the United States Telephone Network

The following notice applies to versions of the modem that have been FCC Part 68 approved. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the

Administrative Council for Terminal Attachment (ACTA). On the bo ttom side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the Telephone Company.

This equipment is intended to connect to the Public Switched Telephone Network through a Universal Service Order Code (USOC) type RJ11C jack. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modul ar plug is provided with this product. It has been de signed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (or RE N) is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local Telephone Company. Th e REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point. For example, 03 represents a REN of 0.3.

If the modem causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the Telephone Company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its facilities, equip ment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the Telephone Company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If trouble is experienced with the modem, refer to the repair a nd warranty information in this document.

If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

The user may make no rep airs to the equipment. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commissi on, public

service commission or corporation commission for information. If the site has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of

the modem does not disable the alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disabl e alarm equipment, consult your Telephone Company or a qualified installer.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Installation

The Hardware installation procedure is explained below.

Caution: Always disconnect all telephone lines from the telephone wall outlet before

servicing or disassembling this device.

1. Verify that the On/Off switch on the rear panel is in the Off position.

2. Connect the power adapter to the Power jack of the device, and then plug the power adapter into the wall outlet.

3. Connect the USB port to a PC with a standard USB cable.

4. Connect the LAN ports to PCs or a hub using RJ45 cables. The LAN ports automatically sense whether the connection requires a crossover, so either straight-through or crossover cables may be used.
