Canadian Regulations Governing the Use of Modems
Note: The 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 the equipment, 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 can be extended by means of a certified
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). Be aware that the above
conditions do 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, can give
the telecommunications company cause to request that the equipment be
disconnected.
Make sure, for your 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 is 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 Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a terminal loop which is
used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop can
consist of any combination of devices, subject only to the requirement that
the total of the Load Numbers of all devices does not exceed 100. An
alphabetic suffix is also specified in the Load Number for the appropriate
ringing type (A or B), if applicable. For example, LN=20 A designates a
Load Number of 20 and an “A” type ringer.
The Load Number for this device is 6.
