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.
This device is equipped with a USOC RJ11C connector.
The modem generates and uses radio frequency energy. If it is not installed
and used properly in strict accordance with the user's manual, it may cause
interference with radio and television reception. The modem has been tested

modem.
If interference does occur, we suggest the following measures be taken to
rectify the problem:
1) Move the receiving antenna.
2) Move the modem away from the radio or TV.
3) Plug the modem into a different electrical outlet.
4) Discuss the problem with a qualified radio / TV technician.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance to the FCC Rules could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
All equipment connected to this modem must use shielded cable as the
interconnection means.
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.
The ADSL Router provides home connectivity to an ADSL service provider
network over an ADSL/Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) physical layer.
The router can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 640Kbps and
downstream maximum transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends
on the copper category of your telephone wire, distance from the central office
and the type of ADSL service subscribed. A 10BaseT interface is provided for
connection to an Ethernet LAN or Ethernet-equipped PC, and this router is
easy to install and to configure.
The Conexant AccessRunner CX82310 Single-Chip ADSL Router is
optimized to address the growing demand for high-speed Internet access, and
it does so as a single, highly-integrated and cost-effective solution.
Featuring a USB 1.1-compliant interface and an IEEE 802.3-compliant
Ethernet MAC interface to provide connectivity options, the CX82310 does not
rely on host PC drivers, and thus is not limited by them. The result is extreme
ease-of-use with active auto selection of the interface and simultaneous
operation of both USB and Ethernet. All setup and provisioning is
accomplished via a simple intuitive Web interface which further enhances the
user experience.
The CX82310 is built upon a scalable architecture and is fully compliant with
full-rate ADSL (T1.413 Issue 2 and G.dmt standards) and the splitterless
G.Lite (G.992.2) standards, including Annex A (ADSL over POTS) and Annex
B (ADSL over ISDN). This broad level of compliance ensures that products
based on the AccessRunner can address the existing installed base and
continued deployment of ADSL lines. Telephone companies, for example, can
deploy full-rate, splitterless full-rate as well as G.lite to the consumer.
A single-chip router, the CX82310 allows an always-on high-speed broadband
connection to the Internet. It uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to
deliver data rates at more than 100 times the speed of conventional dial-up
modems, and without the interruptions that can plague telephone service.
Data transfer rates of up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream make
it the ideal solution for high-bandwidth applications for corporate networks,
Internet and video delivery.
Networking support includes both bridge and router modes. The router mode
includes advanced features such as Network Address Translation (NAT),
Dynamic Host Protocol (DCHP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2)
processor, ADSL DMT Engine, Analogue Front End (AFE) and Line Driver.
Through the use of a flash file system, firmware upgrades are easily managed.
This allows for simple, reliable product updates or feature enhancements.
A high-performance, 16-bit parallel expansion bus is available for additional
functionality. This expansion bus provides a glueless interface to PCMCIA
802.11b wireless system. Additionally, the expansion bus can be used to
interface to a V.92/V.90 backup system.

is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
The RJ-11 connector allows data communication between the
modem and the ADSL network through a twisted-pair phone wire
This section describes how to connect and configure the ADSL router.
Connect the router directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable.
There are two methods to connect the router and workstation. The one use
the crossover Ethernet cable to connect directly between them. The other use
straight Ethernet cable to connect router with hub (or switch), then go to the
workstation.
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of
router.
The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your
telephone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter.
(ADSL over POTS)
A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your telephone
line. The POTS splitter works by running a separate data line from the voice
line, so that the ADSL router has a dedicated cable for data transmission.
Figure 2-3.1 and 2-3.2 shows how to connect all cables to the Router.
The POTS splitter may also be installed on the outside of the
house adjacent to the telephone network interface device (NID).
(ADSL over ISDN)
A ISDN splitter separates ADSL signals from ISDN signals on your ISDN telephone line. The
ISDN splitter works by running a separate ADSL line from the ISDN line, so that the ADSL
router has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3.3 shows how to connect all
cables to the Router.
The ISDN splitter m ay also be installed on the outside of the
house adjacent to the telephone network interface device (NID).
Before you configure the router, you need to know the connection information
supplied by your ADSL service provider.

Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the ADSL Router consists of more
than simply plugging everything together. Because the Router acts as a
DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the Router, and also
configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router chooses
to assign them. Generally there are several different operating modes for your
applications. And you can know which mode is necessary for your system
from ISP. These modes are router, bridge, PPPoE+NAT and NAT and
PPPoA+NAT. Actually all these are for IP address of WAN.
If your ISP provides RFC1483 Routed mode, it means the IP address
of LAN will be routed via WAN. You should set the "Router" mode in
the ADSL router for this situation, also set the IP address / netmask of
LAN and VPI/VCI of WAN. Then save and reboot Router, it will work
fine with your whole system. The computer should be set the fixed
assigned IP address with the same domain at this mode.
If your ISP provides RFC1483 Bridge mode plus PPPoE, it means the
IP address of computer or router will be assigned automatically via
PPPoE. There are two methods you can use at this mode. First you
can set the "bridge" mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and install PPPoE
driver on your computer. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine
with your whole system. You need to use Dial_Up_Network to get the
IP address of computer every time. Second method you can set the
"PPPoE+NAT" mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and set user's name &
password for PPPoE on your router. Then save and reboot router, it
will work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set as
DHCP client to get IP dynamically.
If your ISP provides RFC2364 mode, it means the IP address of router
will be assigned automatically via PPPoA. You can set the
"PPPoA+NAT" mode, give VPI/VCI of WAN and set user's name &
password for PPPoA on your router. Then save and reboot router, it
will work fine with your whole system. The computers should be set as
DHCP client to get IP dynamically.
If your ISP provides RFC1483 Routed and the serial static IP address
for you, there are two methods you can use at this mode. First you can
set the "router" mode and give VPI/VCI of WAN. Then save and reboot
router, it will work fine with your whole system. The computers should
be set the fixed assigned IP address at this method. Second method
you can set the "NAT" mode, give VPI/VCI/ IP address /net mask of
WAN. Then save and reboot router, it will work fine with your whole
system. The computers should be set as DHCP client to get IP
dynamically.
