Chapter 3: Connecting to the Line

WARNING

To avoid harming the WAN, you must first contact your carrier for approval before connecting the adapter to the line.

CAUTION

In accordance with FCC Rules, Part 68.218 (b), you must notify the telephone company prior to disconnecting the adapter from the line or turning off the power to the adapter’s host system. Without this prior notification, the carrier might temporarily discontinue your T1/PRI service.

Connecting directly to the line with an internal

CSU

If your iSPAN-PRI adapter includes the internal CSU option, you can connect it directly to the line and be up to 6200 feet (1.8 km) far from your carrier. The line will be in a DS1 configuration (long haul).
