5 FAQs
1. Why does the ADSL connection break so often?

Many possible factors may cause this problem, such as faults in your service
provider's access server, line disconnection, and line disturbance. You can do as
follows:
z Ensure that the ADSL line is connected properly.
z Keep the MT882 away from appliances with strong electric fields or magnetic
fields, such as a microwave oven and a refrigerator.
z Ensure that no telephone or fax machine is connected directly with the ADSL line.
z Replace the old industry standard architecture (ISA) network adapter with a new
10/100M peripheral component interconnect (PCI) network adapter and install the
latest driver.
Contact your service provider for help.

2. Will the call service and the ADSL access service influence each other?
