Affidavit Requirements for Connection to Digital Services
•An affidavit is required to be given to the telephone company whenever digital terminal equipment
without encoded analog cont ent and billing protection is used to transmit digital signals containing
encoded analog cont ent which are intended for eventual conversi on into voiceband analog signals and
transmitted on the network.
•The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded analog content or billing information is being
transmitted or that the output of the device meets Part 68 encoded analog content or billing protection
specifications.
•End user/customer will be responsible for filing an affidavit with the local exchange carrier when
connecting unprotec ted customer premise equipment (CPE) to 1.544 Mbps or subrate digital services.
Until such time as subrate digita l terminal equipment is registered for voice applicat ions, the affidavit
requirement for subrate services is waived.
