FCC Regulations For Connecting to a
T1 Interface
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established
rules that permit a Dialogic® Brooktrout® board to be directly
connected to the telephone network:
Standardized jacks are used for connections.
This equipment can not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state
tariffs. (Contact your state public utility commission or corporation
commission for information).
A malfunctioning circuit can harm the telephone network.
Disconnect a malfunctioning Dialogic® Brooktrout® board from the
telephone network until you determine the cause of the malfunction
and repair it. If a malfunctioning Dialogic® Brooktrout® board
remains connected, the telephone company can temporarily
disconnect service.
The Dialogic® Brooktrout® board is approved as a DSX-1 device.
Federal regulations (FCC Part 68) prohibit connection of a DSX-1
device to the network without an FCC approved Channel Service
Unit (CSU). Customers connecting this device to the network shall,
upon request of the telephone company, inform the telephone
company of the particular lines to which such connections are made
and the FCC registration of the protection device (CSU).
The CSU has been designed to prevent harm to the T1 network. If
the telephone company finds that the equipment is exceeding
tolerable parameters, the telephone company can temporarily
disconnect service, although they will attempt to give you advance
notice if possible.
If the telephone company alters their equipment in a manner that
will affect use of this device, they must give you advance warning so
as to give you the opportunity for uninterrupted service. You will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
