Multitech MT5600BL, MT5600BA manual South African Notice

Appendix A - Regulatory Compliance

4.This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.

Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may give rise to ‘bell tinkle’ or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such problems occur, the user should not contact the Telecom Faults Service.

The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones, as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing and is readily available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.

5.Warning Notice: No ‘111’ or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.

6.This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to the same line.

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

For repeat calls to the same number:

•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

•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 attempt.

For automatic calls to different numbers:

•The equipment shall be set to ensure that automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such that there is no less than 5 seconds between the end of one call attempt and the beginning of another.

For automatically answered incoming calls:

•The equipment shall be set to ensure that calls are answered between 3 and 30 seconds of receipt of ringing.

8.For correct operation, total of the RNs of all devices connected to a single line at any time should not exceed 5.
