WebSTAR DPX2203C and EPX2203C VoIP Cable Modem User’s Guide

FCC Part 68

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States restricts specific uses of modems, and places registration responsibilities on both the manufacturer and the individual user.

1.The modem may not be connected to a party line or to a coin-operated telephone.

2.The modem manufacturer must make any repairs to the modem to maintain valid FCC registration.

3.Notification to the telephone company is no longer required prior to connecting registered equipment, but upon request from the telephone company, the user shall tell the telephone company which line the equipment is connected to as well as the registration number and ringer equivalence number of the registered protective circuitry. FCC information is printed on a label on the bottom of the modem.

IC (Industry Canada) Notice

Notice: The Industry Canada (formerly Canadian Department of Communications) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. 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. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). 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 made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user 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.

CAUTION:

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