A02-0604JP
Pursuant to FCC CFR 47, Part 68:
When you are ready to install or use the modem, call your local telephone company
and give them the following information:
❑ The telephone number of the line to which you will connect the modem
❑ The registration number that is located on the device
The FCC registration number of the modem will be found on either the device
which is to be installed, or, if already installed, on the bottom of the computer
outside of the main system label.
❑ The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which can vary. For the
REN of your modem, refer to your modem’s label.
The modem connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the
USOC RJ11C.
Type of service
Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines. Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office implemented
systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs. If
you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of
equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request.
Telephone company procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In
order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their
equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or
the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice in
writing to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted
service.
If problems arise
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone
network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection.
If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you
are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed
on your modem, they should be performed by TOSHIBA Corporation or an
authorized representative of TOSHIBA Corporation.
Disconnection
If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its present
line, please call the telephone company and let them know of this change.
Fax branding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person
to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone
fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom
of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it
is sent and an identification of the business, other entity or individual sending the
message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other
entity or individual. In order to program this information into your fax modem, you
should complete the setup of your fax software before sending messages.
Instructions for IC CS-03 certified equipment
1 The 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.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
2 The user manual of analog equipment must contain the equipment’s Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) and an explanation notice similar to the following:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which can vary. For the
REN of your modem, refer to your modem’s label.
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 may consist of any combination of devices subject
only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers
of all the devices does not exceed 5.
3 The standard connecting arrangement (telephone jack type) for this equipment is
jack type(s): USOC RJ11C.
The IC registration number of the modem is shown below.
Canada: 1353 11026A
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.
❑ 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.
❑ 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 connec-
tion before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.
❑ This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert ca-
dences and services such as FaxAbility.
NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE
ABOVE CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM
