Note:

The Canadian Department of Communications label identiﬁes certiﬁed equipment. The certiﬁcation means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operations 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 the 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 metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution:

inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric

Canada CS-03 -- Règles et règlements

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. Dans certains cas, le câblage interne du service de télécommunications utilisé pour une ligne individuelle peut être allongé au moyen d’un connecteur certiﬁé (prolongateur téléphonique). Le client doit toutefois prendre note qu’une telle installation n’assure pas un service parfait en tout temps.

Les réparations de l’appareillage certiﬁé devraient être conﬁées à un service d’entretien canadien 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 débranchment 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:

aux pouvoirs de réglementation en cause ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Cable Guide

Before Y ou Begin

To ensure that you order, make, or use the appropriate cable for your router hardware platform, ﬁrst answer the following questions:

• What is the connection category, order number, or physical description of the cable I want to ﬁnd?

• What type of physical interface am I connecting to, and what type of cable connector (plug or receptacle) do I need to make this connection?

Note:

Determining the connector type you need can signiﬁcantly decrease the time it takes to locate the appropriate cable. For example, if you want to connect to a 44-position synchronous interface, look only for synchronous cables with 44-pin plugs.

• What type of device do I want to connect to the router hardware platform’s

physical interface? For example, do you want to connect a modem or a console to the router hardware platform? Each function requires a different cable, even though you connect to the same physical interface on the router hardware platform.

• What v ersion of software is my router hardware platform using? F or example,

newer features such as dialup services may require special cable pin conﬁgurations to interoperate with earlier versions of Bay Networks software.
