Industry Canada Compliance; Ren; Equipment Attachment Limitations - Siemens HiPath 5000 Service Manual

Each Siemens system discussed in this section is capable of providing user access to interstate
providers of operator services through the use of equal access codes. Modifications by aggre-

Industry Canada Compliance

The following paragraphs describe requirements for and present information based on the In-
dustry Canada standards.
2.10.2.2.1

REN

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) defines how many devices can be connected to a tele-
phone line at the same time. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not
exceed five.
2.10.2.2.2

Equipment Attachment Limitations

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety re-
quirements as described in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirement docu-
ments. However, the Department offers no assurances that the devices will operate to the cus-
tomer's complete satisfaction at all times.
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. The customer should be aware that compliance
with these conditions may not prevent degradation of performance 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 malfunc-
tions, 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 pow-
er utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected to-
gether. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
