Wireless Security
This router supports wireless data encryption, a must for wireless data security.
The Wireless Security Interface Configuration items will change according to
the chosen encryption method.
CAUTION: To enable “Hide SSID”, we strongly advise you to do so via
wired LAN connection, since wireless LAN connection with this SSID will
be lost with this option applied! If both SSIDs are hidden, then the
communications with this router must be done via a LAN port, or this
router must be reset to factory default settings.

Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
15.21
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part
responsible for compliance could void the user‟s authority to operate the equipment.
15.105(b)
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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 or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 of the device.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits adopted by the
Appendix C: Important Safety Information and Glossary
91
Federal Communications Commission for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should operate with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body.

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.
4G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses LTE.
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
Appendix C: Important Safety Information and Glossary
93
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.
LTE (Long Term Evolution): High-speed mobile communication standard based on the
GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies. LTE provides downlink peak rates
up to 300 Mbit/s and uplink peak rates up to 75 Mbit/s.
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.
