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 all of those 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.
Installation
This device is equipped with a USOC RJ11C connector.
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.
Chapter1 Introduction
The ADSL Wireless Powerline Router can be used to bridge any Ethernet device to your wired, wireless, powerline network.
Powerline and wireless no need to spend time and money professionally installing expensive Ethernet cabling to share your Ethernet
network.
ADSL:
The ADSL Router provides home connectivity to an ADSL service provider network over anADSL/Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) physical layer. The router can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 1Mbps and downstream maximum transmission
rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wire, distance from the central office and the type
of ADSL service subscribed. 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Switch provided for connection to an Ethernet LAN or Ethernet-equipped PC,

and this router is easy to install and to configure.
Powerline:
The Powerline of the ADSL router fully compliant with powerline network standard . The Powerline lets you turn the existing
powerlines in your home or office into a high-speed network.
1.1 Overview
The Conexant AccessRunner CX82310 Single-Chip ADSL Router is optimised to address the growing demand for high-speed
Internet access, and it does so as a single, highly-integrated and cost-effective solution.
The CX82310 is built upon a scalable architecture and is fully compliant with full-rate ADSL (T1.413 Issue 2 and G.dmt standards)
and the splitterless ITU G.Lite (G.992.2) standards, including Annex A (ADSL over POTS) and Annex B (ADSL over ISDN). This
broad level of compliance ensures that products based on the AccessRunner can address the existing installed base and continued
deployment of ADSL lines. Telephone companies, for example, can deploy full-rate, splitterless full-rate as well as G.lite to the
consumer.
A single-chip router, the CX82310 allows an "always-on" high-speed broadband connection to the Internet. It uses existing
twisted-pair telephone lines to deliver data rates at more than 100 times the speed of conventional dial-up modems, and without the
interruptions that can plague telephone service. Data transfer rates of up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream make it the
ideal solution for high-bandwidth applications for corporate networks, Internet and video delivery.
Networking support includes both bridge and router modes. The router mode includes advanced features such as Network Address

Translation (NAT), Dynamic Host Protocol (DCHP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2) processor, ADSL DMT Engine,
Analogue Front End (AFE) and Line Driver.
Through the use of a flash file system, firmware upgrades are easily managed. This allows for simple, reliable product updates or
feature enhancements.

2.4 Hardware installation
This section describes how to connect and configure the ADSL router.
Step 1. Connect the ADSL Line
Connect the router directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable.

Step 2. Connect a Workstation to the Router's LAN port
All LAN Ports Support Auto-Crossover (MDI/MDI-X) . Using the Ethernet cable to connect directly between them.
Step 3. Connect the Power Adapter to the Router
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of router.
Step 4. Connect All Cables to the Network
The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your telephone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter.
POTS Splitter Configuration (ADSL over POTS)

A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your telephone line. The POTS splitter works by running a separate
data line from the voice line, so that the ADSL router has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3.1 and 2-3.2 shows how
to connect all cables to the Router.
Figure 2-4.1 Router Connected through a POTS Splitter
Note:The POTS splitter may also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone network interface
device (NID).

Figure 2-4.2 Router Connected through several micro-filters
ISDN Splitter Configuration (ADSL over ISDN)
A ISDN splitter separates ADSL signals from ISDN signals on your ISDN telephone line. The ISDN splitter works by running a separate ADSL line from the
ISDN line, so that the ADSL router has a dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3.3 shows how to connect all cables to the Router.

Note:The ISDN splitter may also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone network interface
device (NID).
