FCC Part 68
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 those
entire 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.

FCC Part 15
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 and found to comply with the limits for Class B computing devices in accordance with the
specifications in Subpart B, Part 15 of the FCC regulations. These specifications are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. FCC regulations require that shielded interface cables be
used with your 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.
CAUTION:
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.
Cable connections:
All equipment connected to this modem must use shielded cable as the interconnection means.
Notes:
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.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an Instant Powerline Router with 4-port Fast Ethernet Switch and Homeplug
for cable and DSL application. The Powerline Router is the perfect option to connect a small group of PCs to a
high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server, the
Broadband Router acts as the only externally recognized Internet device on your local area network (LAN). The
Router serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside users.
1.1 Overview
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the Cable/DSL 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 IPAddresses the Router chooses to assign them.
And generally there are three different operating modes for your applications.And you can know which mode is
necessary for your system from ISP. These three modes are PPPoE, DHCP client and Static IP.Actually all these
are for IP address of WAN.

configure your networked PCs to accept the IPAddresses 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.
