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 bottom 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.

plug is provided with this product. It has been designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (or REN) 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.
The 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, equipment,
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 and warranty
information in this document.
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the Telephone

— CBR (Constant Bit Rate) – Used by applications that require a fixed
data rate that is continuously available during the connection time. It
is commonly used for uncompressed audio and video information
such as videoconferencing, interactive audio (telephony), and audio
and video distribution and retrieval.
— Non-Realtime VBR (Non-Real-time Variable Bit Rate) – Can be used
for data transfers that have critical response-time requirements such
as airline reservations, banking transactions, and process monitoring.
— Realtime VBR (Real-time Variable Bit Rate) – Used for

Network authentication methods include the following-
z Open – Anyone can access the network. The default is a disabled WEP
encryption setting.
z Shared – WEP encryption is enabled and encryption key strength of
64-bit or 128-bit needs to be selected. Click on Set Encryption Keys to
manually set the network encryption keys. Up to 4 different keys can be
set and you can come back to select which one to use at any time.

about the RADIUS server such as its IP address, port and key must be
entered. WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryption strength must
also be selected.
z WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – Usually used for the larger enterprise
environment, it uses a RADIUS server and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) encryption (instead of WEP encryption, which is disabled).
TKIP uses 128-bit dynamic session keys (per user, per session, and per
packet keys).
z WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key) – WPA for home
and SOHO environments using the same strong TKIP encryption,
per-packet key construction, and key management that WPA provides in
the enterprise environment. The main difference is that the password is
entered manually. A Group Re-Key Interval time is also required.
z WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) – Second generation of WPA, which
uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instead of TKIP as its
encryption method. Network Re-Auth Interval is the time in which
another key needs to be dynamically issued.
z WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Pre-Shared Key) – Suitable for
home and SOHO environments, WPA2-PSK uses AES encryption and
requires you to enter a password and a re-key interval time.
z Mixed WPA2 / WPA – During transitional times for upgrades in the
enterprise environment, this mixed authentication method allows
upgraded users and users not yet upgraded to access the network via the
router. RADIUS server information must be entered for WPA as well as a
group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used.
z Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK – Useful during transitional times for upgrades
in the home or SOHO environment, a pre-shared key must be entered
along with the group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are also
used.

z RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold) – Determines the packet size
of a transmission through the use of the router to help control traffic flow.
z DTIM Interval – Sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving
mode.

z Beacon Interval – A packet of information that is sent from a connected
device to all other devices where it announces its availability and
readiness. A beacon interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon)
before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in
milliseconds (ms).
z Xpress Technology – A technology that utilizes standards based on
framebursting to achieve higher throughput. With Xpress Technology
enabled, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual throughput
speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 25 percent in
802.11g only networks and up to 75 percent in mixed networks
comprising 802.11g and 802.11b equipment.
z 54g Mode – 54g is a proprietary Wi-Fi technology that provides higher
speed, reach, and security.
z 54g Protection – The 802.11g standards provide a protection method so
802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the same network without
"speaking" at the same time. Do not disable 54g Protection if there is a
possibility that a 802.11b device may need to use your wireless network.
In Auto Mode, the wireless device will use RTS/CTS (Request to Send /
Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g/
802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput
under most conditions.
Wireless
z WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) – WMM provides QoS functionality for
Wi-Fi multimedia applications by prioritizing traffic demands from
different applications on the network.
