Regulatory information
Regulatory information
U.S.A. requirements
The AASTRA CNX has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to take whatever measures
may be necessary to correct the interference at their own expense.
Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment. All repairs must be performed by Aastra Telecom, or an authorized
Aastra Telecom representative.
FCC Part 68 general information
The AASTRA CNX complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the
bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format
US:2L4DDNANAASTRA01. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
This Aastra CNX uses the following USOC RJ-48 jacks:
Interface Service Code Facility Code
1.544 Mb/s superframe format (SF) without line power 6.0Y 04DU9-BN
1.544 Mb/s superframe format (SF) and B8ZS without line power 6.0Y 04DU9-DN
1.544 Mb/s ANSI extended superframe format (ESF) without line
power
1.544 Mb/s ANSI extended superframe format (ESF) and B8ZS
without line power
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone modular plug is
provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See
installation instructions for details.
If the AASTRA CNX causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company
will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if
you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facility, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the
operation of the AASTRA CNX. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you
to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Regulatory information
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by a supplier-designated representative. If you make repairs or
alterations to this equipment, or if the equipment malfunctions, the telecommunications company may request that
you disconnect the equipment.
You should ensure, for your own protection, that the electrical ground connections for the power utility, telephone
lines, and internal water-pipe system, if present, are connected. This precaution may be particularly important in rural
areas.
CAUTION: You should not attempt to make such connections. You should contact the appropriate inspection
authority or electrician.
Canada CS-03 Règles et règlements
« AVIS : Le présent matériel est conforme aux spécifications techniques d’Industrie Canada
applicables au matériel terminal. Cette conformité est confirmée par le numéro
d'enregistrement. Le sigle IC, placé devant le numéro d'enregistrement, signifie que
l’enregistrement s’est effectué conformément à une déclaration de conformité et indique que
les spécifications techniques d'Industrie Canada ont été respectées. Il n’implique pas
qu’Industrie Canada a approuvé le matériel. »
NOTE: L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada indique que l’appareillage est certifié, c’est-à-dire
qu’il respecte certaines exigences de sécurité et de fonctionnement visant les réseaux de télécommunications. Le
ministère ne garantit pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branché aux installations du service de télécommunications
local. L’appareillage doit aussi être raccordé selon des méthodes acceptées.
Les réparations de l’appareillage certifié devraient être confiées à un service désigné par le fournisseur. En cas de
réparation ou de modification effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareillage, le service
de télécommunications peut demander le débranchement de l’appareillage.
Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs devraient s’assurer que les mises à la terre des lignes de distribution
d’électricité, des lignes téléphoniques et de la tuyauterie métallique interne sont raccordées ensemble. Cette mesure de
sécurité est particulièrement importante en milieu rural.
ATTENTION: Les utilisateurs ne doivent pas procéder à ces raccordements, mais doivent plutôt faire appel aux
pouvoirs de réglementation en cause ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Powering up a new Aastra CNX:
Starts diagnostic test routines on the Aastra CNX.
Checks for a flash memory card in CompactFlash slot 1 of the Aastra CNX chassis.
Initializes the Aastra CNX and, if successful, resets all LEDs to their normal state.
Starts a one-time software script that allows you to setup your network settings (See Step 7).
Check the LEDs
a. Check the common LEDs on the front panel.
The Power and Status LEDs should be ON (green)
indicating the Aastra CNX is ready to take calls.
b. Check the ENET LEDs on the front panel.
If your Aastra CNX has a physical Ethernet link to your
network from the 10/100 ENET ports 1 or 2 on the back
panel, and no alarms are present, the ENET LEDs
1 and/or 2 should be ON (green).
NOTE: The ENET LEDs FLASH (green) when
there is Rx/Tx activity.
c. The T1/E1 ports are disabled by default in the
Aastra CNX software configuration. The top row of T1/E1
LEDs should be OFF. To enable these ports and check the
LEDs, the System Administrator must enable the
T1/E1 ports using the Aastra CNX GUI.

default servers. NTP servers avoid clock slippage and inconsistent conference
start times on the Aastra CNX. However, you may completely disable the NTP
server feature by setting the IP address of all four servers to 0.0.0.0.
