Chapter 3. Accessing the 2212
This chapter explains how to access, either locally or remotely, the 2212’s
operational and configuration software. The network administrator or the IBM
Support Center can access the 2212 locally or remotely for configuration or
diagnostics.
Access Methods
The 2212 software must be configured as part of the installation process.
Therefore, you have to access the software in one of the following ways:
¹ Remote dial-in (using telephone lines) through a modem attached to the
EIA-232 service port using an ASCII or Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)
connection. See Figure 3-2 on page 3-2. “Modem Settings” on page 3-3 lists
the modems that have been tested for use with the 2212.
SLIP is a method for sending IP packets, instead of ASCII data, across a serial
link. (You cannot use SLIP to access the bootstrap menus)
¹ Locally through a null-modem adapter and serial cables supplied with this
product that are attached to the EIA-232 service port using an ASCII or SLIP
connection. See Figure 3-1 on page 3-2.

ASCII terminal emulation Not applicable
An ASCII connection requires an ASCII terminal or a workstation running an ASCII
terminal emulator. SLIP requires that Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) that supports SLIP be running on your workstation.
Once the 2212 is up and running in the network, you can access the 2212 by
telnetting from a network-connected workstation that is attached to any of the
2212’s IP-capable network interfaces. The network interface could be on a LAN
adapter or WAN adapter since all of them support IP routing. The Telnet
workstation could be locally or remotely connected.

Modem Settings
The following modems have been tested for use with the IBM 2212:
¹ IBM 7852, Model 400
¹ Zoom/FaxModem 56Kx
¹ Atlas 33.6 External PC Data/Fax Modem.
| For instructions on setting-up these and possibly other modems to operate with
| your IBM 2212, see the general information technical tips available at:
http://www.networking.ibm.com/support/2212
Attaching an ASCII Terminal
Attach an ASCII terminal or emulator (with the appropriate emulation software) to
provide local or remote access to the 2212. When locally attaching a terminal to the
2212 service port, the speed (baud rate) configured for the service port must match
the speed of the connected terminal (x and y in Figure 3-1 on page 3-2). When
connecting a 2212 to a remote terminal by two modems connected by telephone
lines (x, y and z in Figure 3-2 on page 3-2), the following rules must be followed:
¹ If the modems are running at a speed of 9600 or lower and they do
support hardware compression, the 2212 service port speed and the terminal
speed must match the modems’ line speed.
¹ If the modems are running at a speed of 9600 or lower and they support
hardware compression, the 2212 service port speed and the terminal speed
should be higher than the modems’ line speed; however, 57 600 and above
may be too fast for line speeds below 9600.
¹ If the modems are running at a speed higher than 9600 and they support
hardware compression, the 2212 service port speed and the terminal speed
should be higher than the modems’ line speed. For modems running at speeds
between 14 400 and 33 600, it is recommended that the 2212 service port and
the terminal be set to 57 600.

Bringing Up a Command Line Console
After you have connected your console to the IBM 2212, and have powered on the
console and the IBM 2212, you will see a sequence of informational status
messages. When you see the prompt Please press the space bar to obtain the
console, press the space bar to attach the IBM 2212 to your session. The system
acknowledges this action with the message Console granted to this interface,
and by displaying a command prompt after the code loading is complete.
If you are at an IBM 2212 that has never been configured, the system presents the
command prompt Config (only)>. You can then proceed with the initial
configuration. If the 2212 has been configured adequately, the system presents the
OPCON command prompt *.
If the 2212 determines during the boot process that the operational code on the
hard file or compact flash is unusable, it will boot to the service recovery function
(SVC> prompt). The full operational code is not loaded and only the commands
needed to restore the 2212 hard file or compact flash to an operational state are
available. The SVC> prompt can also be manually accessed as described in
“Accessing the Service Recovery Prompt (SVC>)” on page A-5. See the
Integration Services Software User's Guide
Access
for a complete list of the commands.
Managing the Operational and Configuration Software
Operational Software: The IBM 2212 comes from the factory with two copies of its
operational software loaded on its hard file or compact flash and an abbreviated
copy (for recovery in case the software or hard file/compact flash is bad) on the
system card flash.
¹ If the operational software needs an upgrade or replacement, you have to
reload it. See “Updating the Operational Code” on page A-24 for instructions
on updating the operational software.
¹ If the operational code on the hard file or compact flash fails, the recovery
version on system card flash is automatically booted.
¹ If the IBM 2212 fails when a new version of the operational software is
activated, the backup versions can be restored. See “Restoring a Backup
Version of Code” on page A-21 for instructions.
¹ If the bootstrap (stored in system card flash) needs updating, use the
procedure in “Updating the Bootstrap Code on System Card Flash” on
page A-24.
Configuration Software: The IBM 2212 is capable of storing on its hard file or
compact flash four copies of configuration information for each copy of operational
software. Binary configuration files can be created using the Configuration Program.
These files can be uploaded to the IBM 2212. Configuration can also be done by
attaching an ASCII terminal to the IBM 2212’s service port or telnetting into the
2212 after the initial configuration is complete, and accessing the command-line
interface.
Changes to the configuration are activated immediately, after a user-configured
timed interval, or at the next restart or reload. See the
Software User's Guide
3-6 2212 Install and Initial Config
Access Integration Services
to determine the configuration parameters that are activated
immediately. See the
Configuration Program User’s Guide
for instructions on using
the Configuration Program to activate configuration changes at timed-intervals.

Chapter 4. Performing the Initial Configuration
If you have a 2212 with no configuration, or if you have cleared the 2212’s
configuration, you must perform the steps in this section before you can send an
existing configuration
Program to the 2212. Refer to Chapter 3, “Accessing the 2212” on page 3-1 for
instructions on accessing the 2212's configuration software.
Note: Alternately, you can use the command-line interface to create a full
configuration. See the
Configuring Features
Reference, Volumes 1 and 2
Setting Up the 2212 Initial Configuration
Note: The following instructions assume that you have used the Access
Integration Services Configuration Program to create a full configuration and
have stored the configuration file on a workstation on the network. This is
the recommended method for configuring the 2212 as explained in “Full
Configuration” on page 4-3.
from the Access Integration Services Configuration
AIS Software User's Guide, AIS Using and
and
AIS Protocol Configuration and Monitoring
for more information.
To perform initial configuration on the 2212, you must first establish access to the
2212. You can establish access either locally or remotely as described in “Access
Methods” on page 3-1. If your system administrator has filled out the Initial
Configuration Worksheet in the
Guide
, obtain that worksheet now to use as a guide when performing the tasks in
this section. Then:
1. Press the space bar to obtain the console.
2. At the Config Only> prompt, use the add device command to configure the
primary LAN or WAN interface. This is the adapter in your 2212 that will
connect to the LAN/WAN of the workstation or server on which the 2212's
configuration data is located.
Note: The four integrated WAN ports on the system card do not need to be
added; they are added automatically by the Access Integration Services
software.
If you plan to use a WAN interface and want to use a data link type other than
PPP (which is the default) then you will need to use the set data link
command to change the data link type.
3. At the Config only> prompt, type qconfig and press Enter to start the Quick
Configuration program.
4. Perform an initial configuration to establish the IP address and IP mask for the
primary LAN/WAN interface for the 2212 as follows:

Full Configuration
The initial configuration procedure you have just performed will enable you to
access the 2212 over the network if you configured an IP address for it.
The configuration provided by QCONFIG depends upon many default values for
parameters, some of which may not be appropriate to your installation. You may
need to modify the configuration that you have created using QCONFIG to
customize the 2212 to work on your network. You can do this using either of these
methods:
¹ Configuration Program
The Configuration Program is the
these reasons:
1. It can enable you to keep a number of copies of configuration files on a
server for uploading to the appropriate 2212s.
2. It does not alter any configuration parameters dynamically. This feature
helps you control changes to the 2212 configurations.
3. It performs more input validation and cross-checking of the configuration
parameters than the other methods.

A-2 2212 Install and Initial Config
This appendix provides a series of questions and answers dealing with common
IBM 2212 installation, operation, and maintenance tasks, with suggestions as to
where to find further help in performing them.
Accessing the Bootstrap Menus
Question What are the bootstrap menus? How do I access them?
Answer The bootstrap is microcode running on the 2212 that tests the basic
functions of the system card and the hard file/compact flash, and then
loads the operational code. The bootstrap menus display errors detected
by the bootstrap and provide system card and hard file/compact flash
problem determination tools, which are used primarily by service
personnel.
Accessing the bootstrap menus requires that a console be attached to
the 2212 service port, and the boot process be stopped at a specific
point.
To access the bootstrap menus:
1. Either unplug and plug the power cord, or type reload at the
OPCON (*) prompt on the console.
2. The 2212 will begin its boot process. When the message <<Press
CTRL-C to access menus>> is displayed, press Ctrl-C on the terminal
keyboard to stop the boot process. The bootstrap main menu will
appear.
Note: You cannot use SLIP to access the bootstrap menus.
See the chapter on “Using the Bootstrap Menus” in the
Utility Service and Maintenance Manual
Accessing the OPCON Command Line Interface
Question How do I access OPCON (*)?
Answer After you have connected your console to the IBM 2212 and have
powered on the console and the IBM 2212, you will see a sequence of
informational status messages. When you see the prompt Please press
the space bar to obtain the console, press the space bar to attach
the IBM 2212 to your session. The system acknowledges this action
with the message Console granted to this interface, and by
displaying the OPCON command prompt on the console after the code

Enabling Dumping
Question How do I enable dumping of memory contents on the 2212?
Answer The IBM 2212 can be set up to dump the contents of memory without
intervention from anyone in the unlikely event of a complete system
failure.
The IBM 2212 can be configured to dump memory locally to the hard file
if the 2212 contains one, or dump over the network to a file on a
LAN-attached server if preconfigured by the customer to do so. It can
also be configured to dump once and stop, dump three times and stop,
or dump continuously. Once the dump is successful, the IBM 2212
attempts to restart. Depending upon the failure of the IBM 2212, it
cannot always restart. In this case, you should restart it manually and
call a service person who will dial into the IBM 2212 to determine the
nature and the causes of the failure.
The following sections describe the various methods for enabling
dumping on the 2212.
Enable Dumping from OPCON
To enable dumping, enter the following commands at the Config> prompt.
¹ First, you must enable system rebooting by typing enable reboot-system.
¹ Next, type the set dump save-mode and set dump enable-mode commands
to change or keep the current settings.
¹ Then, type the set dump target command to specify where the system
memory contents will be written. Valid targets are the 2212 hard file, if one is
present, or a remote host on a LAN. If the target is a remote host on a LAN,
then IP and TFTP parameters of both the local LAN interface and the remote
host are required, along with whether or not the file is to be transferred via

Managing Operational Code and Configuration Files
To help you manage operational software upgrades and configurations, the IBM
2212 has a software change management feature. This utility enables you to
determine which operational software file and configuration file are active while the
IBM 2212 is running. It also has a service recovery interface that enables you to
perform many of the same tasks.
Reconfiguring
You might find it difficult to detect problems caused by configuration errors. A
configuration error can initially appear to be a hardware problem because the 2212
will not start or data will not flow through a port. In addition, problems with
configuration may not result in an error initially; an error may occur only when
specific conditions are encountered or when heavy network traffic occurs.
If you cannot resolve a problem after making a few changes to your configuration
or after restoring the active configuration file, it is recommended that you generate
a new configuration. Too many changes to a configuration often compound the
problem, whereas you can usually generate and test a new configuration within a
few hours.
Appendix A. Common Tasks A-17
Backing Up the Active Configuration
Question How do I use the OPCON command-line interface to backup the active
configuration?
Answer You can backup the active configuration file by using the command-line
interface to copy a configuration file to an available bank, and then lock
the bank to protect the file. To do so, issue the following commands:
1. From the OPCON prompt *, type talk 6 and press Enter to reach
the Config> prompt. If the Config> prompt does not appear, press
Enter again.
2. At the Config> prompt:
a. Type boot.
b. Type copy configuration. You will be prompted for the
following information as shown in the example.
¹ Source bank (A or B)
¹ Source configuration file (1, 2, 3, or 4). Up to four
configuration files can be associated with each bank.

Erasing Files
If you copy an image, the same rules apply except that image files can
be copied only from bank to bank. These steps describe how the copy
of an image affects the image that was previously in the bank:
1. The copy overwrites the image that was previously in the bank.
2. The copy acquires the status of the image that was previously in the
bank.
Question How do I erase the contents of a bank in the 2212?
Answer
To erase a file, at the Boot config> prompt or the SVC> prompt, type
erase, and then follow the prompts.
If you select a file to erase with a status of CORRUPT or NONE, the
erase option is discontinued.

Getting a Configuration File from a Workstation to the 2212
Question How do I get a file from the workstation on which the configuration
program is running to the 2212?
Answer To get a configuration file from the workstation on which the
configuration program is running to the 2212, you have the following
options:
¹ Attach the workstation to an IP network that can be used to reach
the 2212.
In this case, the workstation must be running TCP/IP and the
communications feature of the configuration program is used to
establish direct communications between the configuration program
and the 2212. When you use the Send option of the configuration
program’s communications feature, the configuration data is sent to
the 2212 using SNMP packets. After all of the configuration data
has been sent, you can use the communication feature’s restart
router option. This causes the 2212 software to be reloaded and
initialized using the new configuration data immediately. Alternately,
you can use the communication feature’s timed config option to set
a time when the 2212 will be reloaded with the new configuration.
¹ Attach the workstation to the same IP network as the 2212. In this
case, the workstation must be running TCP/IP and support TFTP in
addition to the configuration program. To transfer a configuration file
from the workstation to the 2212, see “Transferring Files Using
TFTP” on page A-21.
A-20 2212 Install and Initial Config
¹ Attach the workstation to the 2212's service port. In this case, you
can either use TFTP over SLIP (which requires TCP/IP to be
running on the workstation) or Zmodem to transfer to the 2212
configuration files which were created by the configuration program
and stored on the workstation. The TFTP and Zmodem functions are
not part of the configuration program support. They are separate
applications which must be available on the workstation. To transfer
a configuration file from the workstation to the 2212 using TFTP,
see “Transferring Files Using TFTP.” To use Zmodem to transfer a
configuration file from the workstation to the 2212, see “Transferring
Files Using Zmodem” on page A-24.
¹ If the workstation cannot communicate with the 2212 directly using
one of the options described previously, use some mechanism (such
as diskette) to get configuration files created by configuration
program to a network server that is attached to the same IP network
as the 2212, or to a PC that is attached to the 2212’s service port.
In the first case, use TFTP to transfer the configuration files from the
network server to the 2212. In the second case, use TFTP over
SLIP or Zmodem to transfer the configuration files from a PC to the
2212.
Restoring a Backup Version of Code
Question How do I restore a backup version of operational code or a configuration
file?
Answer You can restore the backup version of code from either the Boot
Config> prompt or the SVC> prompt. Use the SVC> prompt when you
cannot access the normal operational console.
1. To access the Boot Config> prompt, at the OPCON prompt (*), type
talk 6 and press Enter to reach the Config> prompt. If the Config>
prompt does not appear, press Enter again. At the Config> prompt,
type boot.
Access the SVC> prompt as described on page “Accessing the
Service Recovery Prompt (SVC>)” on page A-5.
2. At either prompt, type the set command and follow the prompts to
select the previously active code bank and configuration.
3. From the Boot Config> prompt, type reload. From the SVC> prompt,
type reboot.
Transferring Files Using TFTP
Question How do I TFTP operational code and configuration files onto the 2212?
Answer Use TFTP to transfer software code loads and configuration files from a
workstation or server to the IBM 2212. You will need to substitute your
own values for the IP address and path, which are given as examples.
The number of bytes received is also an example. You can use TFTP
from the SVC> prompt or the OPCON (*) prompt as described in the
following sections.
Appendix A. Common Tasks A-21
Note: You transfer the files to banks within the IBM 2212. The banks
represent the directories that have been created automatically;
you do not have to be concerned about transferring the files to a
particular directory within the IBM 2212.
TFTP File Transfer using the Operating Software
1. From the OPCON prompt (*), type talk 6 and press Enter to reach the Config>
prompt. If the Config> prompt does not appear, press Enter again.
2. Type boot and press Enter. The Boot config> prompt is displayed.
3. To get the software code load, type tftp get load mod. To get a configuration
file, enter tftp get config.
You cannot overwrite a currently active bank image or configuration file.
4. When prompted, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
5. When prompted, specify the path/file name for the code load or config file.
6. When prompted, specify the bank in which you want the code load or config file
written. If you are transferring a config file, you are prompted for the config file
(1 through 4) in which you want to transfer the configuration data.

Using the Configuration Program’s Communications Feature to
Manage Configuration Files
Question How do I use the Configuration Program's communications feature and
Send option to manage configuration files?
Answer For optimal configuration management, it is recommended that you use
the Configuration Program and its configuration database to manage all
your IBM 2212 configuration files.
The design of change management facilitates good control of the
configuration files. Keeping the ACTIVE file and the file that is stored in
the configuration database the same assures that a copy of the ACTIVE
file is always available.
When you use the Send option of the Configuration Program’s
communications feature to send a new configuration to the IBM 2212,
the new configuration is written to the ACTIVE bank and overwrites the
file located in the position just below the currently ACTIVE configuration.
The new configuration is PENDING if a time is set for a reset. If the
configuration file is sent without a specified time for the reset to occur, it
gets AVAIL status.
For example, suppose that CONFIG 2 is ACTIVE. The new configuration
file is written to CONFIG 3. It has a status of PENDING if a reset time is
associated with it; if not, it has a status of AVAIL.
If the file has a status of PENDING, CONFIG 2 becomes AVAIL and
CONFIG 3 becomes ACTIVE when a reset occurs. The next file that is
sent from the Configuration Program will be placed in CONFIG 4. If a
reset time is associated with the file, it will have the PENDING status
and will become ACTIVE when the next reset occurs. If another file is
then sent, it is placed in CONFIG 1 because the currently ACTIVE file is
now in CONFIG 4. This arrangement results in a circular queue.
Appendix A. Common Tasks A-25
If the downloaded file has a status of AVAIL, a reset does not change its
status. If another file is sent down, it overwrites that file because the
ACTIVE file has not changed and the newly downloaded file always
occupies the location just behind the ACTIVE file.
Example of Sending a File from the Configuration Program
For example, suppose that this is the view of the software that is displayed by the
list command:
Boot Config> list
BANK A BANK B
IMAGE - ACTIVE IMAGE - AVAIL
CONFIG 1 - ACTIVE CONFIG 1 - AVAIL
CONFIG 2 - AVAIL CONFIG 2 - AVAIL
CONFIG 3 - NONE CONFIG 3 - AVAIL
CONFIG 4 - NONE CONFIG 4 - NONE
The Configuration Program sends a config file to BANK A, CONFIG 2. If you use
the restart router option of the Configuration Program's communications feature, the
2212 performs a reset immediately and reinitializes using the new configuration.
After these actions, the IBM 2212 configuration looks like this:
BANK A BANK B
IMAGE - ACTIVE IMAGE - AVAIL
CONFIG 1 - AVAIL CONFIG 1 - AVAIL
CONFIG 2 - ACTIVE CONFIG 2 - AVAIL
CONFIG 3 - NONE CONFIG 3 - AVAIL
CONFIG 4 - NONE CONFIG 4 - NONE
CONFIG 1 has become AVAIL and CONFIG 2 has become ACTIVE.
If the Configuration Program were now used to send down a new configuration to
the IBM 2212 and the file were not marked to be loaded at any specified time, the
view of the software in the IBM 2212 would look like this:
BANK A BANK B
IMAGE - ACTIVE IMAGE - AVAIL
CONFIG 1 - AVAIL CONFIG 1 - AVAIL
CONFIG 2 - ACTIVE CONFIG 2 - AVAIL
CONFIG 3 - AVAIL CONFIG 3 - AVAIL
CONFIG 4 - NONE CONFIG 4 - NONE
After this action, CONFIG 3 is AVAIL. The new configuration file has been loaded
in this location.
Note: You should exercise caution here because any on-board configuration
changes could result in overwriting the CONFIG 3 file. Because the
configuration file in CONFIG 3 was sent down without any time specified for
resetting the server, it is currently not in use. It can be overwritten either
when another file is sent from the Configuration Program or when a file is
saved using the write command from the command line interface. You can
use the copy command to move it to another location to protect it (see
“Copying a File Using the Copy Command” on page A-19) or use the lock
command to keep the configuration file from being overwritten.

Each bank represents one image of the operational code. The images
stored in BANK A and BANK B are stored on the hard file or compact
flash. The Configs represent the configuration files that are stored with
each bank.
CONFIG
The possible IMAGE and CONFIG status:

Note: The status of this file can be changed only by
resetting the IBM 2212.
If a config or an image
is active, it is locked and cannot be overwritten
or erased.
AVAIL This is a valid file that can be made active.
CORRUPT This file was damaged or was not loaded onto the IBM
2212 hard file or compact disk completely.
PENDING This file will be loaded and become active the next time
the IBM 2212 is reloaded.
LOCAL This file will become active at the next reset. This reset
will cause the currently ACTIVE file to become
PENDING. LOCAL is a status that makes a file ACTIVE
only for one reset of the IBM 2212.

will also reboot the 2212 if reboot has been enabled via talk
6 in the command-line interface. If reboot has
enabled, the 2212 will hang until it has been powered off
and on. It is recommended that reboot always be enabled on
the 2212.
¹ Both the OPCON (*) prompt and Config only> prompt support the
reload and restart commands. From either prompt, type reload or
restart and press Enter.
The reload command causes the 2212 to behave as if it has been
powered off and back on: system card and hard file or compact
flash component tests are run and the operational code is reloaded.
The restart command activates configuration changes, operational
code is not reloaded and diagnostic tests are not run. You cannot
use restart to initialize a new version of the operational code.
Note: The Config only> prompt appears when no config file is
active. Lack of an active config file indicates that an active
configuration has become corrupted or that the IBM 2212 is
not configured.

FCC Part 68 Compliance Information:
Features and optional adapters for the IBM 2212 comply with Part 68 of the FCC
rules. The label included on the adapter tray contains, among other information, the
FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), if applicable for
this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone company.
The IBM 2212 adapters include:
¹ 2-Port ISDN BRI-U CPCI Adapter, with interface code 021S5, service code
6.0F, and jack type RJ45.
¹ 1-Port ISDN PRI T1/J1 CPCI Adapter, with interface code 04DU9-1SN, service
code 6.0F, and jack type RJ48C.
¹ 2-Port ISDN PRI T1/J1 CPCI Adapter, with interface code 04DU9-1SN, service
code 6.0F, and jack type RJ48C.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your number is called. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as
determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to determine
the maximum REN for your calling area.
If the IBM 2212 causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company
may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in

Industry Canada Information:
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational and safety requirements. Industry Canada 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 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: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
AVIS : L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada permet d’identifier un équipement homologué.
Cette homologation signifie que cet équipement satisfait certaines exigences en
matière de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité du réseau de
télécommunications. Industrie Canada n’offre aucune garantie que le
fonctionnement de cet équipement soit à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer cet équipement, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il a la permission de
le raccorder aux installations de l’entreprise de télécommunications. L’installation de
cet équipement doit aussi se faire selon un mode de raccordement acceptable.
Dans certains cas, le câblage interne de l’entreprise associé au service individuel
offert par une ligne d’abonné peut être prolongé au moyen d’un connecteur
homologué (prolongateur de téléphone). Le client devrait être informé que la
conformité de son équipement aux conditions susmentionnées n’est pas une
prévention contre la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Toute réparation d’un équipement homologué devrait être effectuée par un service
de maintenance canadien autorisé qui a été désigné par le fournisseur. Toute
réparation ou modification d’équipement faite par l’utilisateur, ou tout mauvais
B-6 2212 Install and Initial Config
fonctionnement, pourrait entraîner la déconnexion de cet équipement par
l’utilisateur à la demande de l’entreprise de télécommunications.
Pour sa protection personnelle, l’utilisateur devrait s’assurer que les mises à la
terre des services publics électriques, des lignes téléphoniques et du système
interne des canalisations d’eau à tuyaux métalliques, advenant leur présence, sont
interconnectées. Dans les zones rurales, il s’agit-là d’une précaution
particulièrement importante à prendre.
ATTENTION : Toute tentative de connexion par l’utilisateur est à déconseiller. Il est
préférable de communiquer avec le responsable de l’inspection en électricité ou un
électricien, selon le cas.
