The following informati on is for F CC compli an ce of Class A device s: This eq uipment has been teste d and found t o co mply wit h the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to pa rt 15 of th e FCC rul es. Thes e limits ar e design ed to prov ide re asona ble prote cti on agai nst harmf ul interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the inst ruction ma nua l, may ca use harmf ul interfer ence to ra dio com muni cations. Oper atio n of this e quipme nt in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interfe rence , in whi ch case users will be require d to corr ect the int erfer ence a t their own expen se.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency
energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television re ception . T h i s
equipmen t has bee n teste d and fo und to co mply with the limits f or a Cla ss B di gital device in acco rdan ce with th e spec ific atio ns in part 15 of the FCC rules.
These specifications are designed to provi de reason able pr otec tion agains t su ch interf erenc e in a resid ential installati on. Ho we ver, the re i s no gu a rantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment wit hout C isco’s w ritten authoriza tion may r esult in the e quipme nt no longer c omplyi ng with F CC requ irements for Class A or
Class B digital devices. In tha t event, your right to use the equipme nt may be limited by FCC re gulati ons, and you may be re quired to c orre ct an y
interference to radio or tele vision c ommun icati ons at your o wn e xpense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment
or one of its peripheral devices. If the equi pment caus es int erferenc e to rad io or televi sion recepti on, try to correc t the inte r fe rence by using one or more
of the following measures :
• Turn the television or radio ant enna unt il the int erferenc e st ops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the ot her of the tel evisi on or radi o.
• Move the equipment farther awa y fr om the televi sion or ra dio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio
are on circuits controlled by diff erent circ uit break ers or fuses.)

Technical A ssi stance Center
The Cisc o TAC is availab le to a ll customer s wh o need tech ni cal ass i stance wit h a C isco produ ct ,
technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC
Web S it e and the Ci sc o TAC Escalation Cen t er.
Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:
• Prio rity level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities,
product installation, or basic product configuration.
• Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Networ k functionality is noticeably
impaired, but most business operations continue.
• Prio ri ty leve l 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects
of business operations. No workaround is available.
• Prio rity level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business
operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of
service co nt r act s , wh en ap p licable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time.
The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. T o access the
Cisco TAC Web Site , g o to the fo ll owi ng U R L :
http:/ /w w w.cisco.com/tac
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to
the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a
Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or

http:/ /w w w.cisco.com/r egis t e r /
If you ca nnot resolve your technical issues by using th e Cisco TAC Web Site, and you a r e a Cisco. com
registered user, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at the following URL:
http:/ /w w w.cisco.com/tac/caseo pen
If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC
Web Site.
