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.

Use only No. 26AWG or larger modular cable.

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 systems, 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.

2. The user manual of analog equipment must contain the equipment’s
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and an explanation notice similar to

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%T E=1
ATS133=1
AT&F
AT&W
AT%T E=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.

User’s Manual xv

Satellite L670/Pro L670/L670D/Pro L670D/L675/L675D series

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)
ATS6=4 (Blind dial delay)
ATS7=less than 90 (Time to wait to carrier after dialing)
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)

User’s Manual xvi

Satellite L670/Pro L670/L670D/Pro L670D/L675/L675D series

■ 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

connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.

■ This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert

cadences and services such as FaxAbility.

NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE
CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM
