Affidavit Requirement for Connection to Digital Services

• An affidavit is required to be given to the telephone company whenever digital terminal equipment without encoded analog content and billing protection is used to transmit digital signals containing encoded analog content which are intended for eventual conversion into voice band and analog signals and retransmitted on the network.

• The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded analog content or billing information is being transmitted or that the output of the device meets Part 68 encoded analog content or billing protection specifications.

• End user/customer will be responsible to file an affidavit with the local exchange carrier when connecting unprotected CPE to 1.544 Mbps or subrate digital services.

• Until such time as subrate digital terminal equipment is registered for voice applications, the affidavit requirement for subrate services is waived.
