This appendix contains the homologation compliance statement for the Cisco ONS 15303. For additional requirements, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document for the Cisco ONS 15303.
The following instructions are provided to ensure compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules, Part 68.
1. This device must be connected only behind an FCC Part 68 registered channel service unit. Direct connection is not allowed.
2. Before connecting your unit, you must inform the telephone company of the following information:
| Port ID | REN/SOC | FIC | USOC |
|---|---|---|---|
ONS 15303 | 6.0N | 04DU9-BN, 04DU90DN, 04DU9-1KN, 04DU9-1SN | (50-pin telco EIA-356A) connector |
3. If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, it should be disconnected from the telephone lines until you learn if your equipment or the telephone line is the source of the trouble. If your equipment needs repair, it should not be reconnected until it is repaired.
4. If the telephone company finds that this equipment is exceeding tolerable parameters, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect service, although they will attempt to give you advance notice if possible.
5. Under the FCC rules, no customer is authorized to repair this equipment. This restriction applies regardless of whether the equipment is in or out of warranty.
6. If the telephone company alters their equipment in a manner that will affect use of this device, they must give you advance warning so as to give you the opportunity for uninterrupted service. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
7. The attached Affidavit (Appendix A) must be completed by the installer.
8. In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by our Company or an authorized agent. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to our Company or to one of our authorized agents.

To ensure that certified equipment is attached correctly and only to the networks of participating carriers, the following written statement shall accompany each unit of certified equipment offered for sale. This statement must be included conspicuously, at or near the front of each copy of the operating manual, or accompany other technical information, or be included as a separate sheet. The requirement statement is:
"NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Industry Canada 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 companies' 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 might 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 to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, 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.
"The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed 5."
The Cisco ONS 15303 system has been approved to Common Technical Regulation (CTR) 12, CTR13, Australia (TS 016 -97), UK (NTR4 -94) and Sweden (SS 636334) for connection to the PSTN. However, because of differences among the Stuns in different countries, this approval does not, in itself, give unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point.
In the event of problems, you should first contact your equipment supplier.
