FCC Part 15 Notice

Warning: This equipment 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, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 or her own expense.

The authority to operate this equipment is conditioned by the requirement that no modifications will be made to the equipment unless the changes or modifications are expressly approved by Ascend Communications, Inc.

FCC Part 68 Notice

1. Upon request of the telephone company, you should provide the FCC registration number of the equipment that is connected to your line. The MAX unit's registration number for the CSU interface(s) of the MAX-CS/DSU and MAX CSU/DSX is 2CZUSA-74422-XD- N. The MAX unit's registration number for the DSX interface(s) of the MAX DSX/DSX and MAX-CSU/DSX models is 2CZUSA-74421-DE-N.

2. The MAX operates with a 1.544 Mbps digital channel, using RJ48 USOC jacks. The service code is 6.0N. The Facility Interface Code is 04DU9-BN for lines using the Superframe Format (SF); 04DU9-DN for lines using the SF with B8ZS; 04DU9-1SN for lines using Extended Superframe Format (ESF) with B8ZS; and 04DU9-1KN for lines using ESF format with AMI. The MAX connects to the network using eight-pin modular plugs, wired per FCC Part 68, USOC RJ48C.

3. The telephone company must be notified before removal of a MAX connected to 1.544 Mbps digital service. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service and will notify you of this disconnection. (If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible.) When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

IC CS-03 Notice

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 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 to rural areas.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Canadian Notice

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. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situation.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility 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 equipment does not support line loopbacks.

Warning: THE DIGITAL APPARATUS DOES NOT EXCEED THE CLASS A LIMITS FOR RADIO NOISE EMISSIONS FROM DIGITAL APPARATUS SET OUT IN THE RADIO INTERFERENCE REGULATIONS OF THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS.
