Certification Notice For Equipment Used In Canada - Black Box 16-Port Rackmount 10/100 Installation Manual

Certification Notice for
Equipment Used in Canada
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications-network
protective, operation, 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 (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-- in this case, your 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, sub-
ject only to the requirement that the total of the load numbers of all the devices does not
exceed 100.
