Instructions for IC CS-03 certified equipment

1The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). 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.

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 coordinated by a representative 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.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand

Modem warning notice for Australia

Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Australia. The use of other country/region setting while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in you modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI which displays the currently active setting.

To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command sequence:

AT%TE=1

ATS133=1

AT&F

AT&W

AT%TE=0 ATZ

Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment and the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of non-permitted equipment.

Notes for use of this device in New Zealand

The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom.

In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly if:

(a)it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and

(b)the application using the modem is compatible with the application at the other end of the call - e.g., accessing the Internet requires suitable software in addition to a modem.

This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.

User’s Manual

xi

Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC Specifications are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:

(a)There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and

(b)The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next.

(c)Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds apart.

Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.

The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as follows: ATB0 (CCITT operation)

AT&G2 (1800 Hz guard tone)

AT&P1 (Decadic dialing make-break ratio = 33%/67%) ATS0=0 (not auto answer)

ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay, factory default of 15 recommended)

ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration=90 ms)

ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)

When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a value of 3 or 4. This ensures:

(a)a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been successfully switched through the network.

(b)caller identification information (which occurs between the first and second ring cadences) is not destroyed.

The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some reason you must use decadic dialing, your communications program must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table as this modem does not implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing” standard.

Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be entered normally.

xii	User’s Manual

The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of this there may be circumstances where the performance is less than optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the line with a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if the phone performance is impaired.

It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the Telecom line during electrical storms.

When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.
