NOTE 1 TO TABLE 1: Occupational/controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.

Limits for occupational/controlled exposure also apply in situations when an individual is transient through a location where occupational/controlled limits apply provided he or she is made aware of the potential for exposure.

NOTE 2 TO TABLE 1: General population/uncontrolled exposures apply in situations in which the general public may be exposed, or in which persons that are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or can not exercise control over their exposure.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to par t 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the installation manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Welcome!

This document describes how to install and use your customer premise equipment (CPE), which provides you with high speed internet services.You can connect your CPE to your computer, or you can connect it to a small office/home office (SOHO) local area network (LAN) through a hub, switch, gateway, or router.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Make sure your computer is equipped with an Ether-

net network interface card (NIC).

• The Ethernet cable that is supplied with your CPE plugs into any standard Ethernet NIC. The NIC is not provided with the CPE, but you can purchase a NIC at most computer and electronics stores.

• Find an appropriate location for your CPE.

• Make sure you are operating the CPE above ground level. The CPE works best when installed on the 1st floor or above, near an outside window. It may not function optimally when installed in a basement.

• The CPE uses a standard power supply and can sit on a desktop or shelf. You need to locate the CPE close to a power source and to your computer (or to your network device, if applicable).

• If you choose to place the CPE a good distance from your computer, you may need to purchase a longer Ethernet cable. The supplied cable is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long.

Make sure the longer cable that you might purchase is flexible enough to bend under the bottom of the CPE.

• Locate the components shipped with your CPE

device:

• CPE device

•Software CD-ROM

• Power cable and power supply

•Ethernet cable
