Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
x Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
x Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
x Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
x Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when
connecting to computer or peripheral devices).
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.

Glossary
2G: Second-generation mobile networking technology. Represents a switchover from
analog to digital; most 2G networks use GSM.
3G: Third-generation mobile networking technology that enables simultaneous
transfer of voice and non-voice data; most 3G networks use WCDMA.
3.5G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses
HSDPA.
3.75G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses
HSUPA.
APN (Access Point Name/Network): Provides GPRS routing information. Consists
of:
Network ID: Identifies the external service requested by a GPRS user.
Mobile network operator ID: Specifies routing information.
ARFCN (Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number): The specific ID numbers
for all radio channels used in cellular mobile communications.
bps (bits per second): How data flow is measured.
CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol): CHAP identifiers are
changed frequently and authentication can be requested by the server at any

time.
DNS (Domain Name System): Helps route network traffic by making the addressing
process more user-friendly.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): How devices obtain IP addresses
from a server.
DUN (Dial-Up Network): Windows component that enables online access via a
modem.
EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment/Enhanced Data for Global Evolution):
Advanced GPRS that delivers multimedia and other data needing greater
bandwidth at up to 237 kbps.
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service): Delivers data in packets at up to 86 kbps.
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications): The most popular cellular
network, mostly operates in 850-900 or 1800-1900 MHz; the primary 2G system.
HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access): Advanced WCDMA that delivers
downlink bandwidth intensive data at up to 7.2Mbps; typically associated with
3.5G.
HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access): Advanced WCDMA that delivers
uplink bandwidth intensive data at up to 5.76Mbps; typically associated with
3.75G.
HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access +): This is also known as HSPA Evolved, is the
next step and is more focused on delivering data services enabling speeds of up
to 42Mbps in the downlink and 11Mbps in the uplink.
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity): A number unique to each
GSM/UMTS device that can be used block network access by a stolen mobile
device.
IP (Internet Protocol): Routes packets over a network.
Kbps (Kilobits per second): A data flow measure; 1024 bits/second.
LAN (Local Area Network): A data network with limited range but good bandwidth.
Mbps (Megabits per second): A data flow measure; 1,048,576 bits/second.
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol): The difference between PAP
authentication and a manual or scripted login, is that PAP is not interactive. The
username and password are entered in the client's dialing software and sent as
one data package as soon as the modems have established a connection, rather
than the server sending a login prompt and waiting for a response.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol): An internet connection method.
PIN (Personal Identity Number): Four to eight digital numbers SIM card security
code; allows access to the carrier’s network.
Rx: Shorthand for Reception.
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module): A small card that contains key mobile device
identification, subscription and contact information.
Tx: Shorthand for Transmission.

WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access): Advanced EDGE that
supports 384kbps data flow. Most 3G networks use this standard, the same as
UMTS.
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup
