FCC User Requirements This information is provided to ensure that you comply with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules, Part 68:
1. All direct connections to the T1 digital lines must be made through standard plugs and
jacks furnished by the telephone company. No connections can be made to party lines or
coin lines. Before connecting your unit, you must do the following:
a.) Tell your local telephone company that you have an FCC registered device that you
wish to connect to the company’s lines. Provide the fourteen-digit FCC registration
number listed on the label. The telephone company will also need to know the facility
interface code (04DU9-XX) and service code (6.0N) in order to connect the necessary
service.
b.) Inform the telephone company that you wish to use the RJ48C or RJ48M jack
arrangement.
c.) After the telephone company has installed the RJ48C or RJ48M jack, you may connect
the unit with the appropriate cable.
2. If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, it should be disconnected from the telephone line
until the source of the problem is confirmed. If the unit needs repair, it should not be
reconnected until after the repair is completed.
3. The unit has been designed to prevent harm to the DDS or T1 network. If the telephone
company determines that it is exceeding tolerance parameters, they are permitted to
temporarily disconnect service. When possible, the customer will be given advance notice.
4. Under FCC Rules, no customer is authorized to repair the equipment, regardless of its
warranty status.
5. If the telephone company alters the equipment in a manner that will affect its usage,
advance notice must be given to prevent service interruption.
Normally, Verilink equipment will be used to interface either FCC registered or grandfathered
digital terminal equipment to the digital service channel. If the equipment to be connected is
not of this type, institutional procedures provide that an affidavit be supplied to the telephone
company. This affidavit must state that the system will be operated only by trained individuals
and that the signal power at the telephone company interface will not exceed the limits set forth
in Part 68 of the FCC’s Rules and Regulations.
Industry Canada NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee that 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. The customer should be aware that compliance
with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by a representative 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 lines 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 (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 the devices does not exceed 100.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
