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 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. 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 modular 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 Company may request that you disconnect  
the equipment until the problem is resolved.  
The user may make no repairs to the equipment.  
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, 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 disable alarm equipment, consult your  
Telephone Company or a qualified installer.

2. Hardware Installation and PC Setup  
Connecting the Hardware  
Shut down your PC and any other equipment before connecting it to the router. To  
connect your router:  
Procedure  
1. Verify that the router’s power switch is in the Off (outward) position. Verify that  
any PCs and other LAN devices you will attach (such as hubs or switches) are  
turned off.  
2. Use the provided modular phone cable to connect the LINE jack of the router  
to your RJ11 wall jack.  
3. Use the provided Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the router.  
Attach one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the back of  
the router and connect the other end to the Ethernet port or Network Interface  
Card (NIC) in your PC.  
Connect any other PCs, hubs, and switches to the remaining LAN ports. Either  
a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable can be used: the router  
determines the type of signal required.  
4. Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of  
the device. Next:  
— If you have a wall-mount adapter, plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or  
a power strip.  
— If you have a table-top adapter, use the AC power cord to connect the  
adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.  
The supplied power adapter may look different than the one illustrated here.  
5. Turn on your PC and any other LAN devices, such as hubs or switches.  
6. Turn on the router using its power switch.  
7. Verify that the router's LEDs are illuminated as shown in Table 2-1.

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) – The valid range is 0 to 255.  
VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) – The valid range is 32 to 65535.  
Service Category – Five classes of traffic defined are defined:  
— UBR Without PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate without Peak Cell Rate)  
— UBR With PCR (Unspecified Bit Rate with Peak Cell Rate) – UBR service  
is suitable for applications that can tolerate variable delays and some cell  
loss, such as data transfer, messaging, distribution, and retrieval, and  
remote terminal applications such as telecommuting.  
— 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 time-sensitive  
applications such as real-time video. Rt-VBR service allows the network  
more flexibility than CBR.

Protocol) encryption (instead of WEP encryption, which is disabled). TKIP  
uses 128-bit dynamic session keys (per user, per session, and per packet  
keys).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Wireless - Bridge  
The Wireless - Bridge screen lets you determine whether the router acts as an  
access point or a wireless bridge.  
Figure 5-42. Wireless – Bridge  
Wireless - Advanced  
The Wireless - Advanced screen lets you configure advanced features of the  
wireless LAN network:  
AP Isolation – If you select enable, then each of your wireless clients will not  
be able to communicate with each other.  
Band – The default setting is 2.4GHz - 802.11g  
Channel – 802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit interference from other  
devices. If you are experiencing interference with another 2.4 Ghz device such  
as a baby monitor, security alarm, or cordless phone, then change the channel  
on your router.  
Multicast Rate – The rate at which a message is sent to a specified group of  
recipients.  
Basic Rate – The set of data transfer rates that all the stations will be capable  
of using to receive frames from a wireless medium.  
Fragmentation Threshold – Used to fragment packets which help improve  
performance in the presence of radio frequency (RF) interference.  
RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold) – Determines the packet size of  
a transmission through the use of the router to help control traffic flow.  
DTIM Interval – Sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving mode.  
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).

5. Advanced Setup  
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.  
54g Mode – 54g is a proprietary Wi-Fi technology that provides higher speed,  
reach, and security.  
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.  
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) – WMM provides QoS functionality for Wi-Fi  
multimedia applications by prioritizing traffic demands from different  
applications on the network.
