Industry Canada Compliance

The following paragraphs describe requirements for and present information based on the In-
dustry Canada standards.
1.2.2.1 REN
The REN assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of
terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. 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.
1.2.2.2 Equipment Attachment Limitations
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety re-
quirements as described in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirement docu-
ments. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfac-
tion.
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 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 malfunc-
tions, 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 pow-
er utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected to-
gether. 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.
