Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Australia. The use of other country/region settings while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in your modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI which displays the currently active setting.

To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command sequence:

AT%TE=1

ATS133=1

AT&F

AT&W

AT%TE=0

ATZ

Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment, with the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribing a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of non-permitted equipment.

The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom.

In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly if:

a/

It is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call, and;

b/

The application using the modem is compatible with the application

 

at the other end of the call - for example, accessing the Internet

 

requires suitable software in addition to a modem.

This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.
