Important notice about computer viruses
UTC Fire & Security strongly recommends that Anti Virus protection software be installed and
frequently updated on all UTC Fire & Security servers and workstations before connecting them to
any network.
UTC Fire & Security assumes no responsibility for damage caused by computer viruses, protecting
your UTC Fire & Security system from viruses, or installing anti virus protection software required by
your IT department.
Contact your IT Department about installing the proper Anti Virus software before connecting the
systems to a network.
Modems
The Part 68 rules require the following or the equivalent information be provided to the end user of
equipment containing a pre-approved modem module.
Type of service
The Topaz System operates on an ACU field panel and is designed to be used on standard device
telephone lines. It connects to the telephone line using a standard jack, called the USOC RJ-11C (or
USOC FJ45S.) Connection to the telephone company provided COIN service (central office
implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party line services is subject to state tariffs.
Telephone company procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. The telephone
company may occasionally need to make changes in their equipment, operations, or procedures. If
these changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company
will give notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted
service.
In certain circumstances, the telephone company may need to request information from you
concerning what equipment you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request from the
telephone company, provide the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN);
both of these items are listed on the equipment label. The sum of all RENs on your telephone line
should be less than five to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, five
may not be usable on a given line.
