Canadian IC CS-03 Requirements

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 documents. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, user 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.


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


Avis D'Industrie Canada

L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme aux normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurite des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.

Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également étre installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la comformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur. L'entreprise de télécommunications peut demander a l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil a la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise a la terre de la source d'énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales. Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-méme; il doit avoir recours a un service d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

AVIS: L'indice d' équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent étre raccordés a une interface. La terminaison d' une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques dispositifs, a la seule condition que la somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n'excède pas 5.

FCC and Telephone Company Procedures and Requirements

To connect this system to the network, you must provide the local operating company with the registration number of this equipment, and you must order the proper connections.

To order the proper service, provide the telephone company with the following information:

Quantities and USOC numbers of the required jacks

Sequence in which the trunks are to be connected

Facility interface codes, by position

Ringer equivalence number or service code, as applicable, by position

Radio Frequency Interference

The CSS is designed for Class A use only. Do not attempt to use this equipment in a domestic environment, which requires Class B distinction. These switches cause interference with domestic products.


Warning In accordance with FCC Part 15 Subpart B requirements, changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Cisco Systems could void user's authority to operate this equipment.


This equipment produces electromagnetic energy at radio frequencies and, if not installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as contained in this document, could cause interference to radio communications and/or interfere with the operation of other RF devices. The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A Computing Device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of the equipment in a residential area may cause interference. Should this occur, the user may be required to discontinue operation of the equipment, or take other such measures as may be adequate to rectify the condition at the user's expense.

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. The telephone operating company must be notified before removal of equipment that is connected to 1.544 Mbps digital services. If the telephone company notes a problem, it may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, the telephone company 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 needed on this equipment, they should be performed by Cisco Systems or an authorized representative of Cisco Systems.
