2.10.2.1.1 |
FCC Rules, Part 15 |
| Each Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section, except HiPath 3350, has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If installation and operation are not in line with the instructions in the manual, this can lead to disruptions in radio communication. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. |
| The HiPath 3350 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If installation and handling are incorrect, this can lead to disruptions in radio communication However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: |
| • | Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. |
| • | Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver. |
| • | Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. |
| • | Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. |
2.10.2.1.2 |
FCC Rules, Part 68 |
| Each Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section complies with FCC Rules, Part 68. A label on the outside back of the cabinet identifies the FCC registration number, the ringer equivalence number (REN), and other information. If requested, this information must be given to the telephone company. |
Disruption of the Network and T1 |
| For networked systems using 1.544 Megabits per second (Mbps) T1 service, notify the telecommunication company when the equipment is disconnected from the network. If any Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section disrupts the telephone network, the telecommunication company can discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, the telecommunication company will notify you in advance. If this is not possible, you will receive notification at the earliest possible opportunity. In this context you will also be informed that you can lodge a complaint with the FCC. |
Telephone Company Facility Changes |
| The telecommunication company is entitled to adapt its own equipment, devices, operating procedures, and processes as necessary; such modifications may impair the operation of your equipment. If they do, you should be notified in advance so you can maintain uninterrupted telephone service. |
Nonlive Voice Equipment |
| Nonlive voice equipment, such as, music-on-hold devices and recorded announcements for systems must be approved by Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG and registered in accordance with the rules and regulations of Subpart C of the FCC Rules, Part 68; or it must be connected through protective circuitry that is approved by Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG and registered in accordance with the rules and regulations in Subpart C of the FCC Rules, Part 68. |
REN |
| The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to a telephone line so that all the devices ring when that telephone number is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to a line should not exceed five. Contact the local telecommunication company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. |
Newly Established Network Area and Exchange Codes |
| The off-net routing feature, also known as the least-cost routing (LCR) software feature, which allows user access to the telephone network, must be configured to recognize newly established network area codes and exchange codes as soon as they are placed in service. |
| Failure to reconfigure the customer premises equipment to recognize the new codes as they are established restricts the customer and the customer's employees from gaining access to the network and to these codes. |
Hearing Aid Compatibility |
| Telephones for emergency use and telephones installed in common areas such as lobbies, hospital rooms, elevators, and hotel rooms must have handsets that are compatible with magnetically coupled hearing aids. Persons who are not in common areas also must be provided with hearing-aid compatible handsets, if needed. |
| For the hearing impaired, all Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG digital devices manufactured after August 16, 1989, are hearing-aid-compatible and comply with FCC Rules, Part 68, Section 68.316. |
Programmed dial functions |
| When you program emergency numbers or make test calls to emergency numbers using Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG products with programmed dialer features, stay on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up. Perform these activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening. |
Connecting Off-Premises Station Facilities |
| Customers who intend to connect off-premises station (OPS) facilities must inform the telecommunication company of the OPS class for which the equipment is registered and the connection desired. |
Direct Inward Dialing Answer Supervision |
| Customers operating any Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section without providing proper answer supervision are in violation of Part 68 of the FCC rules. |
| • | Each Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section returns proper answer supervision to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) when DID calls are: |
| - | Answered by the called station. |
| - | Answered by the attendant. |
| - | Routed to a recorded announcement that can be administered by the customer. |
| • | Each Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section returns proper answer supervision on all DID calls forwarded to the PSTN. Permissible exceptions are when: |
| - | A call is unanswered |
| - | A busy tone is received |
| - | A reorder tone is received |
Equal Access Requirements |
| Call aggregators, such as hotels, hospitals, airports, colleges and universities, and so on, must provide the end user with equal access to the carriers of the user's choice. The current equal access codes (also known as carrier access codes [CACs]) are 10xxx and 101xxxx, and 800/888 and 950, where xxx or xxxx represents the carrier identification code. |
| To select the carrier of choice for a call, the user dials the equal access code before dialing the called party number. Equal access is also obtained by dialing the 800/888 or 950 number of the carrier of choice. |
| Each Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section is capable of providing user access to interstate providers of operator services through the use of equal access codes. Modifications by aggregators to alter these capabilities are a violation of the Telephone Operator Consumer Services Improvement Act of 1990 and Part 68 of the FCC Rules. |
Electrical Safety Advisory |
| Each Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG system discussed in this section is fully compliant with FCC Rules and Regulations. It is nevertheless recommended that an alternating current (AC) surge arrestor of the form and capability suitable for the model purchased be installed in the AC outlet to which the system is connected. Consult your sales partner to determine the surge protector requirements for your system. |
2.10.2.2 |
Industry Canada Compliance |
| The following paragraphs describe requirements for and present information based on the Industry Canada standards. |
2.10.2.2.1 |
REN |
| The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) defines how many devices can be connected to a telephone line at the same time. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five. |
2.10.2.2.2 |
Equipment Attachment Limitations |
| The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as described in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirement documents. However, the Department offers no assurances that the devices will operate to the customer's complete satisfaction at all times. |
| 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 these conditions may not prevent degradation of performance in some situations. |
| Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated 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. |
