2. This product is intended to be used with a three-wire grounding type plug – a plug which has
a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe
operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by modifying the plug or
using an adapter.
Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle for the
presence of earth ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the installation must not
continue until a qualified electrician has corrected the problem.
If a three-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified electrician to
determine another method of grounding the equipment.
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the product and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must not be blocked
or covered.
4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product where persons
will walk on the power cord.
5. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
6. General purpose cables are provided with this product. Special cables, which may be required
by the regulatory inspection authority for the installation site, are the responsibility of the
customer.
7. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable Safety
Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary,
consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure
compliance.
8. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two or more
buildings. If products installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the voltage potential
may cause a hazardous condition. Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine
whether or not this phenomenon exists and, if necessary, implement corrective action prior to
interconnecting the products.

precautions:
– Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
– Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
– Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
– Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
– Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
– Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

listed in the following sections.
United States
Notice to Users of the Public Switched Telephone Network
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the equipment is a label that contains,
among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for
this equipment. The label is located on the bottom of the Model 3810 and 3820 modems. This label
is located on the Model 3811’s circuit card assembly. If requested, this information must be
provided to the telephone company.
2. Page A of this manual contains the Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) associated with the
services on which the equipment is to be connected.
3. The Ringer Equivalence (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be
connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices
not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum RENs
for the calling area.
4. If the 3800 Series modem causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance
notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,
you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
5. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures
that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications in order to maintain
uninterrupted service.

Notice to Users of the Canadian Public Switched Telephone Network
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the
facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single
line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone
extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Safety Instructions
F3810-A2-GB30-30 September 1998
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone line and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or
electrician, as appropriate.
The Load Number for this equipment is listed on the label on the modem. The Load Number (LN)
assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a
telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may
consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load
Numbers of all devices does not exceed 100.
If your equipment is in need of repair, refer to the procedures described on page A in the front of this

Overview
The COMSPHERE 3800 Series modems, a new
generation of full-feature, high-speed dial modems, offer
reliable asynchronous and synchronous operation over
dial- or leased-lines networks. The 3800 Series modems’
unique software defineability allows for the addition of
future enhancements, whether it is installing new features
or firmware upgrades.
Through its downloading capability, any 3800 Series
modem can be upgraded to the latest firmware, requiring
no new hardware investment or on-site personnel, and
little or no downtime. These modems support a wide
range of modulation schemes and offer control using
either AT commands, the user-friendly diagnostic control
panel (DCP) or the optional COMSPHERE 6700 Series
Network Management System (NMS). The NMS
performs extensive monitoring, testing, reporting, and
restoral functions to assist in managing your network.
High-speed data transfer and reliable throughput at
data rates as high as 19,200 bps (V.32terbo) over dial lines
is guaranteed by employing the latest techniques in ITU-T
V.42bis/MNP Class 5 data compression and ITU-T
V.42/MNP error correction. In addition to fast line speeds,
the modem can send data to the DTE at speeds as high as
115,200 bps.
The 3800 Series modem is extremely versatile when
used in modem pooling environments; it allows multiple
users to temporarily customize settings in the 3800 Series
modem, thereby permitting communication with the
calling modem. Upon disconnection, the 3800 Series
modem falls back to its original configuration settings and
resumes normal operation.
The modem’s compatibility with a number of dialing
methods and protocols, such as asynchronous AT
commands, ITU-T V.25bis dialing, EIA RS-366-A dialing
for carrier-mounted modems, and the user-friendly
diagnostic control panel (DCP), permits the 3800 Series
modem to be used in a variety of applications and
environments while also allowing control over modem
configuration, dialing, and diagnostics. The 3800 Series
modems offer four preset factory configurations
containing the most often used modem settings. These
factory presets provide quick configuration for any
asynchronous/ synchronous dial, synchronous leased, or
UNIXr hardware-based dial environments.
The 3800 Series family is available in three models:
the Model 3810, a 4-wire/2-wire standalone modem; the
Model 3811, a carrier- mounted version of the standalone
unit; and the Model 3820, a 2-wire standalone unit. All
three models offer a variety of modulation schemes and
network enhancements while still providing reliable,
high-speed data transmission using the latest in modem
technology.
