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. User 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. Users 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 have 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
1.1 Overview
The Minitar VoIP ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) provides an easy way to make low cost
phone calls via the Internet using your existing broadband Internet service. The VoIPATAis
optimized to suit the growing demand for VoIP applications, and it provides a single, highly-
integrated and cost-effective solution.
The device has a WAN port to connect to the Internet via a router/modem, and a LAN port to
allow a PC to be connected to the device and to also access the Internet via the device and
the WAN connection.
The device complies with the SIP v1/v2 standard. You will need to have a VoIP Service
Provider (VSP) or SIP server account to make phone calls to other SIP devices or to PSTN
phones.
The VoIPATA device WAN port can be set up as PPPoE client, Static IP or DHCP client to
connect to the internet via a modem / router.
It provides a Network Address Translation (NAT) function to allow the Internet WAN
connection to be easily shared with a PC or other network device connected to the LAN port..

Chapter 3 Configuration
3.1 Determine your connection settings
Before you configure the gateway; you need to know the connection information supplied by
your ADSL service provider or just set it as a DHCP client.
3.2 Connecting the Gateway to your network
LAN: Because the ATAGateway acts as a DHCP server by default, you should set your PC
as DHCP Client to automatically accept the IP Address from the Router.
WAN: There are several different operating modes for the WAN connection and you need to
know which mode is necessary for your system. These modes are DHCP client, PPPoE,
Fixed IP.
3.3 Configuring with Web Browser
The default address of the ATA is 192.168.3.1'
To configure the router, open your browser, type 'http://192.168.3.1' into the address bar and
click 'Go' to get to the login page. Save this address in your Favorites for future reference.
The default login is admin and the password is admin
Note: It is advisable to change the administrator password later to safeguard the security of
your network.
