DOC Terminal Equipment

Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies
certificated equipment. This certification means that the equipment
meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The department does not guarantee 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. 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
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian 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 insure 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 combinations of devices subject only to the
requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does
not exceed 100.
The load number for the Command Modem is 8.
