Statements of Compliance
FCC
Statement for Part 68
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established rules that permit this device to be
directly connected to the telephone network. Standardized jacks are use for these connections. This
equipment should not be used on party lines or coin-operated lines.
If this device is malfunctioning, it may also cause harm to the phone network; this device should be dis-
connected until the source of the problem can be determined and repair has been made. If this is not done,
the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service.
The telephone company may make changes in its technical operations and procedures; if such changes
affect the compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is required to give adequate notice
of the changes.
If the telephone company requests information on what equipment is connected to their lines, inform
them of the following:
●
The telephone number to which the equipment is connected.
●
The ringer equivalence number: 0.6B (indicated on the label).
●
The USOC jack required: RJ45.
●
The FCC registration number (indicated on the label).
The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices can be connected to your
telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices on any one line should not exceed 5.0.
If too many devices are attached, they may not ring properly.
In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by Cabletron Systems Inc. or an
authorized agent. It is the responsibility of user requiring service to report the need for service to
Cabletron Systems Inc. or an authorized agent. Service can be facilitated by contacting:
