FCC: Customer instructions

The Remote Gateway 9150 unit complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom side of the equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

The Remote Gateway 9150 unit uses the following standard connections and codes: USOC Code: RJ21X, Facility Interface Code: 02DU5-64, and Service Order Code: 6.0F.

The REN number shown on the label is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line can result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. The sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that can be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

If the equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service might be required. However, if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify you 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 facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

No repairs can be performed by you. If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the following for repair and warranty information:

Nortel Product Service Center 640 Massman Drive. Nashville, TN 31210 Phone: 1-800-466-7835

If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company might request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.

Industry Canada: Equipment attachment limitation

NOTICE: The Industry Canada Label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, you 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. You should be aware that compliance with the above conditions might not prevent degradation in service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, can give the telecommunications company cause to request you to disconnect the equipment.

You should ensure, for your 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 can be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution: You should not attempt to make such connections yourself, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface can consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirements that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

January 2005 About this document

Product overview

The Remote Gateway 9150 unit provides full-featured host PBX services to as many as 32 users located in your office.

The Remote Gateway 9150 solution consists of the following components:

! Reach Line Card (RLC)

The RLC is installed in the PBX at the host location and relays voice and signaling information from the digital telephones connected at the Remote Gateway 9150 site to the PBX at the host site.

! Remote Gateway 9150 unit

The Remote Gateway 9150 unit is installed in your office. It relays voice and signaling information between the digital telephones in your office to the PBX at the host location.

! 10BaseT Ethernet and ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) connections

These connections provide the voice and data connections between the Remote Gateway 9150 unit and the host PBX.

! ISDN BRI trunk interface modules are supported for the following:

— U interface

— S/T interface

! optional Digital Signal Processor (DSP) application modules

You can add these modules to increase the system’s voice processing capacity.

The Remote Gateway 9150 unit uses the Voice over IP technology to route voice conversation and telephone set control signals between your office and the host PBX over your existing IP data network.

The Remote Gateway 9150 unit can also use the PSTN to route calls if:

! the voice Quality of Service (QoS) degrades below predefined thresholds

In this case, Nortel’s patented QoS Transitioning Technology automatically transitions calls to the PSTN when the voice QoS degrades. Calls transition back to the IP network when the QoS returns to normal.

! you are not yet ready to use the IP network to route voice calls

You can configure the Remote Gateway 9150 unit to use only the PSTN, and implement the IP network functionality when you are ready.
