This user manual will help you setup, configure and outline best practices for maximizing your wireless home network performance with the Modem. Please be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to the section entitled “Placement of your Modem for Optimal Performance” on page 2. Placement of your Modem for Optimal Performance Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your Modem. Typical indoor operating range for wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. For EV-DO operation, a line-of-sight with the radio base station is preferred and yields the strongest signal strength. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Modem and connected devices increases, as well as between the Modem and the radio base station. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Modem, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help. 1. Modem Placement Place your Modem, the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to windows or in rooms at the outer side of your house. If you also use the Wi-Fi feature of the Modem, it should be placed near the center of your wireless network devices. To achieve the best wireless network coverage: • Ensure that your Modem’s networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Modem itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in an upward direction. • • In multistory homes, place the Modem on an upper floor. Try not to place the Modem near a cordless phone. 2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference Avoid placing your Modem near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include: • • • • • Refrigerators Washers and/or dryers Metal cabinets Large aquariums Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, try to move the Modem to another location while observing the signal strength indicator. Since you may not know the location of an EV-DO radio base station serving your Modem, try to call your service provider and ask for the nearest base station of your home. Try placing the Modem closest and unobstructed to that base station. 3. Cordless Phones If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone: • • • • Try moving cordless phones away from the Modem and your wirelessenabled computers. Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering. If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Modem to channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions. If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone. Product Overview Product Features In minutes you will be able to connect your computers to the Internet, share your Internet connection and network your computers. The following is a list of features that make your new Axesstel EV-DO Modem an ideal solution for your home or small office network. Implementation of these features depends on the particular service provider and account features you have chosen. Some features described in this manual may not be supported by your service provider or may not be available with your network account. For details of the services and accounts available, contact your service provider. CDMA 3G services The Modem operates over the CDMA 3G technology that provides a variety of connectivity features, depending on your service provider and account: ¾ 1xEVDO Rev. A supports Internet connections with data rates up to 3.1 Mbps (downlink from the network) and 1.8 Mbps (uplink to the network). Average data rates are roughly 600–1300 Kbps (downlink from the network) and 300–400 Kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions. ¾ 1xEVDO Rev. 0 supports Internet connections with data rates up to 2.4 Mbps (downlink from the network) and 153 Kbps (uplink to the network). Average data rates are roughly 400–700 Kbps (downlink from the network) and 40–80 Kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions. ¾ 1X supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153 Kbps. Actual speed depends on the network conditions. Once the connection is established, you can open your browser and connect to any web site that is accessible through the Internet, or access other Internet services (such as email). The connection is “active” when data transmission is occurring. If data transmission stops for a period of time (determined by the network), the connection becomes “dormant”; see page 26. Plug-and-Play Each Modem has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service provider. This sets the Modem to use particular radio channels and enables services specific for that provider. Although the Modem comes with drivers and enabling software, you don’t have to install and use them if you simply want to connect to the Internet, assuming that your Modem has been activated with the network (The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves action by the service provider and configuration of the Modem.) Once the Modem has been activated, simply connect your computer with the Modem using the provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable and you are ready to use the Internet. If you choose to install the driver and its enabling software (the AxessManager), you will have more controls of the Modem performances and settings. Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers The Modem supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS® 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 98, Me, NT®, 2000, and XP, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet). Top-View LED Display Lighted LEDs on the top of the Modem indicate which functions are in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Modem is in EV-DO or 1X mode, connected to the Internet, and in Wi-Fi or Ethernet operation. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and status-monitoring procedures. Web-Based Advanced User Interface You can set up the Modem’s advanced functions easily through you’re AxessManager web browser, without having to install additional software onto the computer. There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make changes and perform setup functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily. NAT IP Address Sharing Your Modem employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost of adding IP addresses to your Internet service account. Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch The Modem has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer data between computers and the Internet simultaneously without interrupting or consuming resources. Support for VPN Pass-Through If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN connection, your Modem will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass through the Modem and to your office network. Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there isno need for a complicated networking setup. Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point 802.11g is an exciting new wireless technology that achieves data rates up to 54Mbps, nearly five times faster than 802.11b. MAC Address Filtering For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface and you can control access to your network.

You may also have other software on your computer that can be used wirelessly with the Modem, such as: file transfer applications (FTP), chat or instant messaging, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) client, client software for a corporate server application. The Modem The Modem provides your computer with a connection to the CDMA wireless network. Every CDMA network operates on one of three radio frequency bands (450MHz, 800MHz and 1900MHz). The Modem is available in two configurations: a single-band 450MHz Modem or a dual-band 800/1900MHz Modem. The Modem drivers and enabling software Required to control, monitor, and manage your wireless connections, this includes the AxessManager application and USB device driver. The Modem comes with a CD containing this software: ¾ AxessManager application that you use to manage the Modem and monitor your connections ¾ The USB device driver software that enables the Modem to work with your computer’s operating system. The USB driver and application software must be installed before you insert the Modem for the first time if you choose to connect the Modem with your PC USB port. AxessManager application is optional: you can install it at anytime or not installing it altogether. Detailed instructions are provided in the following chapters. A CDMA service provider account Companies that operate CDMA networks and provide access to these networks are called service providers. To use the Modem, you must have an account with a CDMA service provider. Each service provider has its own pricing options. There may be flat rate accounts, which provide you a maximum number of minutes of network usage for a fixed monthly fee. There may be accounts for which you are charged for network usage by the minute or by the amount of data transmitted. Your account may include a variety of other services such as SMS messaging. Each Modem has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service provider. This sets the Modem to use particular radio channels and enables services specific for that provider. The process of setting up your account is called activation. Activation involves action by the service provider and configuration of the Modem. The CDMA wireless network This is the worldwide infrastructure providing the radio coverage that allows you to stay connected. Made up of radio towers and a variety of network switches, routers, and servers, the network is an interconnection of many service providers. Note: More information about CDMA networks is available on the CDMA Development Group web site, www.cdg.org. There are CDMA networks that operate in the frequency bands supported by the Modem throughout North America and parts of Latin America, Asia, and New Zealand. However, each service provider operates a network that covers a limited geographical area within the overall CDMA coverage area. Note: Some service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.

This allows you to turn off the sessions by disconnecting your Modem from the service network. In all other Modem modes, the Connect button will appear. Note that although the Connect button appears, the Info Text message must show Ready before you can connect to the network. 8. Menu/X/- Buttons The Menu button gives you access to additional advanced Modem setting and configuration such as Network, Security and Router selection. The X button exits AxessManager utility. Note that exiting the utility does not mean turning off your Modem. For example, if you exit the utility while the Modem is in Connected or Connected (Dormant) mode, other computers can be plugged in one of the ports and use the service. The - button allows you to minimize AxessManager utility into Window tray. Using the Menu Window The Menu window is the main Interface that gives you access to more advanced settings of your Modem. The Menu window is a stand-alone, pop-up window that appears after you click the Menu button in the AxessManager main window. Once you enter the Menu window, navigating to different tabs may result in subsequent window pop-up to allow different configurations and settings of your Modem. In the sections below, you will see each tab's functionality and operation. 1. About Tab This tab informs you the basic details of your Modem. There are no further actions needed in this tab. There is a slight difference in appearance when your Modem is configured with Ethernet setting. When it occurs, About tab also informs you the SW version of the Linux SW used to handle the Ethernet function. 2. General Tab This tab allows you to specify the system selection of your Modem. It also let you setting. choose the USB port A. System Selection This drop down menu lets you specify the wireless network that your Modem will scan and seek service from. There are three modes for which your Modem can operate: • • • EV-DO only EV-DO and 1xRTT 1xRTT only Note that EV-DO allows broadband high speed (up to 3.1 Mbps) while 1xRTT only supports up to 153 kbps. The default setting of your Modem is "EV-DO and 1xRTT". In this mode, your Modem will attempt to get service first in EV-DO mode. If EV-DO is unavailable then it will automatically switch to 1xRTT. We recommend you leave this setting as is for optimal operation. B. Disable Automatic USB Port Search This check lets you disable the automatic COM port assignment to use for your computer USB connection with the Modem. If selected, a drop down menu with a list of available COM ports will appear and you will need to specify the port number from that list. 3. Status Tab This tab shows you various performance statuses of your Modem. There are no further actions needed in this tab. 4. USB Connection Profile Tab This tab lets you define and manage the USB connection of your Modem. You only have to specify items in this tab if you choose to connect and operate your computer with the Modem via the USB port. Note that there is only one USB port on the Modem hence there is only one single user who can use the Modem in this mode. In normal operation, there are two USB connection profiles predefined: one for EV-DO connection and one for 1xRTT connections. These two profiles are included in the Install Wizard and downloaded to your PC during the installation process. A. Profile List This window contains all the USB connection profiles previously defined in the computer currently in use to connect with the Modem and indicates which profile is active. Note that this list is stored in the computer and not in the Modem, hence any changes you make in the profiles are only stored locally. If you have more than one PC and intent to use the USB connection with the Modem (not simultaneously) you will need to make the same changes in each PC. B. Add/Delete/Edit Profile These buttons allows you to manage all USB connection profiles previously defined in the computer. To add a new profile, simply click the "Add" button. A secondary pop up window will appear and ask you to enter all parameters associated with the new connection. These parameters are: • • • • Profile Name User Id Password Dialed Number Since these parameters are sent over the air to the network serving your Modem, we advise you to contact your Service Provider before attempting this step. To delete an existing profile, first highlight it by clicking the profile name in the list then hit the "Delete" button. To modify some settings of an existing profile, highlight it in the profile list then click the "Edit" button. A secondary pop up window similar to the "Add" pop up window will appear. This window is populated with existing parameter values. You simply change the appropriate parameter as needed. Again, we advise you to contact your Service Provider before attempting this step. AxessManager Advanced User Interface The AxessManager Advanced User Interface is a web-based tool that you can use to set up the Modem if you don’t want to use the default setting of Install Wizard. You can also use it to manage advanced functions of the Modem. From the Advanced User Interface, you can perform the following tasks: • View the Modem’s current settings and status • Configure the Modem's router function to connect to your Service Provider with the settings that they provided you • Change the current network settings such as the Internal IP address, the IP address pool, DHCP settings, and more • Set the Modem’s firewall to work with specific applications (port forwarding) • Set up security features such as client restrictions, MAC address filtering, WEP, and WPA • Enable the DMZ feature for a single computer on your network • Change the Modem’s internal password • Reboot the Modem • Back up your configuration settings • Reset the Modem’s default settings • Update the Modem’s firmware Before you use the Advanced User Interface, you will need to have a User Name and Password of the Modem. Please contact your Service Provider to obtain them. Step 1 │ Access Network Setup 1.1. Connect the PC to your Modem using the CAT-5 Ethernet cable. Use ANY one of the Ethernet ports on your Modem. 1.2 Start AxessManager utility if it is not already active. From Main window, select Menu button. Refer to AxessManager Operational Guide for instructions if needed. 1.3 From Menu window, select "Network" tab. A secondary pop up window will appear and ask you to enter User Name and Password. 1.4 Enter the User Name and Password then click "OK". The pop up window will change to a web-based window Step 2 │Navigate web-based UI 2.1 The Basic Setting page is the first page you will see when you access the web based Advanced User Interface (UI). The basic setting page shows you a quick view of the Modem’s login setting. All advanced setup pages can be reached from this page. 1. Quick Navigation Links You can go directly to any of the Modem’s UI pages by clicking directly on these links. The links are divided into logical categories and grouped by tabs to make finding a particular setting easier to find. 2. Page Name The page you are on can be identified by this name. This User Manual will sometimes refer to pages by name. For instance “Advanced > LAN IP Setup” refers to the “LAN IP Setup” page. Basic Settings Clicking on the header of the “Basic Settings” tab will take you to the “Basic Settings” header page. From this page, the Modem’s basic settings can be modified. These settings include: ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ Internet Service Provider. A drop down menu allows users to change the providers. The default value is EV-DO MAC Address Login ID and password Authentication Method. A drop down menu allows users to change the authentication method. The default value is PAP Dial No Configuring the Wireless Network Settings Clicking on the header of the “Wireless Settings” tab will take you to the “Wireless Settings” header page. From this page, the Modem’s Wi-Fi router wireless radio can be enabled or disabled (the default setting is enabled). There are options that allow you to make changes to the Wi-Fi wireless network settings. Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID) To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used. The default SSID of the Modem is “AxessD3”. You can change this to anything you want to or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is unique (does not match that of another wireless network in the area). To change the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the “SSID” field and click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. If you make a change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on making this change. Using the Wireless Mode Switch Your Modem can operate in three different wireless modes: “g and b”, “g only”, and “b only”. g and b Mode In this mode, the Modem is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients simultaneously. This is the factory default mode and ensures successful operation with all Wi-Fi compatible devices. If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend setting the Modem to g and b mode. This setting should only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so. g only Mode g only mode works with 802.11g clients only. This mode is recommended only if you want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switch modes, select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down box. Then, click “Apply Changes”. b only Mode We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards. When to use b only Mode In some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be compatible with 802.11g wireless. These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use older drivers or technology. Switching to this mode can solve problems that sometimes occur with these clients. If you suspect that you are using a client adapter that falls into this category of adapters, first check with the adapter vendor to see if there is a driver update. If there is no driver update available, switching to b only mode may fix your problem. Please note that switching to b only mode will decrease 802.11g performance. Changing the Wireless Channel There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United States and Australia, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there are 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Modem is configured to operate on the proper channels for the country you reside in. The default channel is 11 (unless you are in a country that does not allow channel 11). The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the other wireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. Securing your Wi-Fi® Network Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, there are two encryption methods available. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a new Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support WPA. These updates will be found on the wireless vendor’s website. There are two types of WPA security, WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with radius server). WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the network key. A network key is basically a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client uses the same network key to access the network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment. Maintenance: Router Status Clicking on the header of the “Router Status” tab will take you to the “Router Status” header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here. 1. IP Address The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Modem. The default IP address is “192.168.0.1”. To access the web based Advanced User Interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. 2. Subnet Mask This is a unique, advanced feature of your Axesstel Modem. It is possible to change the subnet mask if necessary; however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask unless you have a specific reason to do so. The default setting is “255.255.255.0”. From this page, users can see all settings associated with the Modem’s router network functions. These functions include: ¾ Account Name and Firmware Version ¾ WAN Port: MAC Address, IP Address, DHCP choice, IP Subnet Mask and Domain Name Server Address ¾ LAN Port: MAC Address, IP Address, DHCP choice and IP Subnet Mask ¾ Wi-Fi Port: SSID, Region, Channel, Mode, Wireless AP status (ON/OFF) and Broadcast Name status (ON/OFF) Users can click the button “Show Statistic” to see a graphic display of the router performance. Maintenance: Attached Devices Clicking on the header of the “Attached Devices” tab will take you to its header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here. Maintenance: Backup Settings Clicking on the header of the “Backup Settings” tab will take you to its header page. Using this option will restore all of the settings in the Router to the factory (default) settings. It is recommended that you back up your settings before you restore all of the defaults. To revert to factory default settings, click on the button “Erase”. Restoring the defaults includes restarting the Modem. It can take up to 25 seconds. It is important not to turn the power to the Modem off during the restart. A 25-second countdown will appear on the screen. When the countdown reaches zero, the Modem’s defaults will be restored. Set Password Clicking on the header of the “Set Password” tab will take you to its header page. A quick description of the functions can be found here. Router Upgrade Clicking on the header of the “Router Upgrade” tab will take you to its header page. From time to time, Axesstel may release new versions of the Modem’s firmware. Firmware updates contain feature improvements and fixes to problems that may exist. When Axesstel releases new firmware, you can obtain it from your Service Provider and update your Modem’s firmware to the latest version. To upgrade the Modem, you need to first tell AxessManager where to find the new firmware. Click the Browse button. A window will open that allows you to select the location of the firmware update file. Browse to the firmware file you downloaded. Select the file by double-clicking on the file name. Note: We suggest saving this to your desktop to make it easy to locate the file. The Modem may not respond for as long as one minute as the firmware is loaded into the Modem and the modem is rebooted. Configuring Port Forwarding Clicking on the header of the “Port Forwarding” tab will take you to the “Port Forwarding” header page. This function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot be “seen.” A list of common applications has been provided in case you need to configure the “Port Forwarding” function for a specific application. You will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. Disable Port Forwarding To disable Port Forwarding, check the box “Disable Port Forwarding”. Entering Settings into the Port Forwarding To enter settings, select the service from the dropdown box “Service Name”. You will see a list of common applications (FTP, HTTP, Net-Meeting…). Select the desired application enter the IP address in the space provided for the internal (server) machine and click “Add”. In the pop up screen, enter the port(s) required to pass, select the port type (TCP or UDP), and click “Apply Changes”. Each inbound port entry has two fields with five characters maximum per field that allows a start and end port range, e.g. [xxxxx]-[xxxxx]. For each entry, you can enter a single port value by filling in the two fields with the same value (e.g. [7500]-[7500]) or a wide range of ports (e.g. [7500]-[9000]). If you need multiple single port values or a combination of ranges and a single value, you must use multiple entries up to the maximum of 20 entries (e.g. 1. [7500]-[7500], 2. [8023]-[8023], 3. [9000]-[9000]). You can only pass one port per internal IP address. Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application. Block Services The Modem can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers. To restrict Internet access to a single computer, for example, enter the IP address of the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP fields. Next, enter “80” in both the port fields. Select “Block”. MAC Block Services The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to allow network access to each. MAC Services Blocking can be set in three modes. ¾ Never. In this mode, there is no restriction to any device connected to the Modem whether it is through Wi-Fi or Ethernet ports. ¾ Deny. In this mode, the service table shows the client MAC address being blocked by the Modem. ¾ Allow. In this mode, the service table shows the client MAC address allowed by the Modem. To modify the service table (i.e. to add, change address or remove clients), there are three buttons underneath the service table: Add, Edit and Delete. Using these buttons together with the mode selection, users can manage the MAC address filtering process. Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using to access the Router’s administrative functions (the computer you are using now). WAN Setup Clicking on the header of the “WAN Setup” tab will take you to the “WAN Setup” header page. From this page, the Modem’s DMZ and Internet Ping can be enabled or disabled. Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks. WAN Ping Blocking Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest might be there. The Modem can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP ping from the outside. This heightens the level of security of your Modem. To turn ON the ping response, select “Respond to Ping on Internet Port” and click “Apply”. The Modem will respond to an ICMP ping. LAN IP Setup Clicking on the header of the “LAN IP Setup” tab will take you to its header page. From this page, the Modem’s DMZ and Internet Ping can be enabled or disabled. Troubleshooting Problem: Installation CD does not automatically start. Solution: If the CD-ROM does not start the Install Wizard automatically, it could be that the computer is running other applications that are interfering with the CD drive. 1. If the Install Wizard screen does not appear within 15—20 seconds, open up your CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the “My Computer” icon that is located on your desktop. 2. Next, double-click on the CD-ROM drive that the Install Wizard Software CD has been placed in to start the installation. 3. The Install Wizard should start within a few seconds. If, instead, a window appears showing the files on the CD, double-click on the icon labeled “EasyInstall.exe”. Problem: • The Install Wizard completed installation, but my web browser doesn’t work. • I am unable to connect to the Internet. The Modem’s “Signal” light is on and the “Connect” light is off. Solution: If you cannot connect to the Internet, the “Signal” light is on, and the “Connect” light is off, the problem may be your connection type may not match the ISP’s connection. • If you have a “static IP address” connection, your ISP must assign you the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Please refer to the section entitled “Alternate Setup Method” for details on changing this setting. If you are still unable to access the Internet after verifying these settings, please contact your Service Provider Technical Support. • Problem: • The Install Wizard completed installation, but my web browser doesn’t work. • I am unable to connect to the Internet. The Modem’s “Signal” light is on and the “Connect” light is on. Solution: If the “Signal” light is on, and the “Connect” light is on, but you are unable to access the Internet, there may be third-party firewall software installed on the computer attempting to access the Internet. Examples of third-party firewall software are ZoneAlarm, BlackICE PC Protection, McAfee Personal Firewall, and Norton Personal Firewall. If you do have firewall software installed on your computer, please make sure that you properly configure it. You can determine if the firewall software is preventing Internet access by temporarily turning it off. If, while the firewall is disabled and Internet access works properly, you will need to change the firewall settings to function properly when it is turned on. Please refer to the instructions provided by the publisher of your firewall software for instructions on configuring the firewall to allow Internet access. If you are still unable to access the Internet after disabling any firewall software, please contact your Service Provider Technical Support. Problem: I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly from my computer but it works if I use the Ethernet cable. Solution: If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer, please do the following: 1. Look at the lights on your Modem. Your Modem’s lights should be as follows: • The “Power” light should be on. • • The “Connected” light should be on and not blinking. The “WAN” light should be either on or blinking. 2. Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the system tray at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen. 3. The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have a list of “Available Networks”—those wireless networks it can connect to. Problem: My wireless network performance is inconsistent. Data transfer is sometimes slow. Signal strength is poor. I am having difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. Solution: Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move farther away from the Modem or access point. In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet away from the Modem. Changing the Wireless Channel - Depending on local wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can improve performance and reliability. The default channel the Modem is shipped with is channel 11. You may choose from several other channels depending on your region (see the section titled “Changing the Wireless Channel” on page xx for instructions on how to choose other channels). Limiting the Wireless Transmit Rate - Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box and then click “Properties”), then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment; note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual. Technical Specifications This chapter provides technical product data for the Modem.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the when worn on the body , as described in this user guide, is 0.596 W/Kg . (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: PH7MV420. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAFETY INFORMATION FOR RF EXPOSURE Body worm operation This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 20 mm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 20 mm. separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. Safety Information 1 . SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIXED WIRELESS TERMINALS .POTE NTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cauls e an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
