Telecommunications Regulations

Equipment that complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network 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. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer 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. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult a trained technician.

Equipment that meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications is conformed by the registration number. Equipment that complies with Industry rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that the registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.

Vanguard 7300 Functions and Features

Feature Cards and Mezzanine Cards

Vanguard 7300 Series products are highly scalable with Vanguard Managed Solutions-supplied option cards and half-size Mezzanine Cards. Currently Vanguard 7300 Series products support these full-size cards:

• Processor Card (the Central Processor Unit (CPU))

- MPC750 - with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port

- IBM750FX - with two 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports

• Carrier Expansion Card

• T1/E1/PRI Card with T1/E1/PRI Rear Transition Module

• T3/E3 ATM Card that includes:

- Standard Carrier Expansion Card

- T3/E3 Rear Transition Module

• Serial Card with Serial Rear Transition Module

• Token Ring Card

Each of these cards occupies a full slot in a Vanguard 7300 chassis.

The Vanguard 7300 Series also supports the following half-size piggyback cards, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards, known as PMCs:

• 10/100BaseT Ethernet PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)

• Voice PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T1/E1/PRI card PMC)

• T3 ATM PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T3 ATM card PMC)

• Advanced Encryption Card (AEC)

A Vanguard 7300 PMC does not require a chassis slot, but mounts on top of one of the full-size Vanguard 7300 cards. The full-size card serves as the PMC’s host.

For example, a single 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMC can be hosted by the Vanguard 7300 CPU Card, or two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMCs can be hosted by the Carrier Expansion Card. The T1/E/1PRI Card’s Voice PMC can only be hosted by a Vanguard 7300’s T1/E1/PRI Card.
