Canadian modem regulations

Canadian Department of
Communications certification
label
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label
identifies certified 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 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 water pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
178 Appendix C: Modem information
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
LOAD NUMBER (LN)
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 of all the devices does not exceed 100. The
load number of the built-in modem is 10.
