Safety information symbols

A note provides information which you should consider.

A caution carries information about procedures or events which if not considered may cause damage to the data or hardware of your system.

A warning carries information about procedures which must be followed to reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to personal health.

The book symbol, where it appears on the unit, indicates that you must read the manual (this safety information and the Getting Started Guide that accompanied the unit).

Safety warnings

• Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment
• Read the installation instructions in the ISDN GW 3200 Series Getting Started Guide that accompanied the unit before you connect the system to its power source
• Caution: Risk of explosion if internal battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Never defeat the earth (ground) conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed earth conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable earthing is available.

• The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device
• Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations

Unplug the power cord before working on this system, since it does not have an On/Off switch.

Do not operate the unit with the cover removed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and electrical hazards.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not connect safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits to telecommunications network voltage (TNV) circuits. The console, Ethernet and ISDN ports on the ISDN GW 3200 are SELV interfaces. ISDN lines where they enter the building are usually classified as TNV. These lines should never be connected directly to the ISDN GW 3200. Use an isolating device such as a Network Termination Unit (NTU) or Channel Service Unit (CSU) between off-premise ISDN lines and the ports on the ISDN GW 3200.

This equipment is to be installed and maintained by service personnel only as defined by AS/NZS 3260 Clause 1.2.14.3 Service Personnel.

Ensure that the voltages and frequency rating of your power source match the voltage and frequency inscribed on electrical rating label attached to the equipment.

Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment. They may touch dangerous voltage points or short components, resulting in fire, electric shock, or damage to your equipment

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack

If the ISDN GW is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient temperature may be greater than the room ambient temperature, therefore consideration should be given to installing the ISDN GW in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature specified in the Operating Environment section below.

The installation of the ISDn GW in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised.

The ISDN GW uses side-to-side cooling fans. Allow an adequate space on the sides of the unit to promote a good air flow for cooling of the ISDN GW Series product. Allow the same distance for installation and servicing. Do not block the fan inlet or outlet. Ensure that the fan intake is not placed inline with the outlet from any other fan or convection cooled device.

Modifications to equipment

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards and/or the possibility of compromising emissions compliance, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of the equipment. Contact your local support organization for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained. Codian is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified Codian product.

Over-current protection

Ensure the supply to this unit is protected by a branch circuit protector rated by a maximum of 20A.

Caution — over-current devices must meet applicable national and local electrical safety codes and be approved for the intended application.

Operating environment

The ISDN GW must only be used within the following environmental conditions:

Table 2: Operating environment

Your ISDN connection

To maintain connectivity with the ISDN network, the ISDN GW must be connected to the ISDN network via an in-building NTU (Network Termination Unit) or CSU (Channel Service Unit).

Check with your network provider to ensure that your incoming ISDN PRI line has been terminated in an NTU/CSU. If it has not, then seek their advice regarding the provisioning of such a device. Do not connect the ISDN GW directly to an external ISDN line.

You must use the Y cable, even if you plan to connect just one of the ISDN interfaces. Using a standard straight-through cable will not work.

The Codian ISDN GW may not be compliant with EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards if you use a cable other than the supplied Y cable.

Anti-static precautions

Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use an ESD-protected mat when handling components.

Compliance information

USA — Electromagnetic Compatibility Information

System Classes

In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) governs the levels of electromagnetic emissions from a digital device. Electromagnetic emissions can interfere with radio and television transmission. To reduce the risk of harmful interference, the FCC has established requirements for manufacturers of digital devices.

FCC statement

FCC Class A

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

European Union Notice

The Declaration of Conformity is available on request.

Products with the CE marking comply with the protection requirements of the following EU Directives:

• EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, as amended by 93/68/EEC, by application of the following harmonized standards:
  • EN55022:1998—Electromagnetic Interference
  • EN50024:1998—Electromagnetic Immunity

  This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to correct this interference.

• Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, as amended by 93/68/EEC, by application of the following harmonized standard:
  • EN60950: 2001, Safety of Information Technology Equipment.

To ensure compliance

To ensure compliance, the system must be reliably connected to earth using the unit’s earth terminals.

Canada — Electromagnetic Compatibility Information

Communications Canada (i.e., the Department of Communications) regulates digital devices similar to the FCC in the United States. Every product should be labeled or provided with documentation that states the class of the product. The DOC defines the environment in which a digital device should be used as the FCC does. Products labeled DOC Class A are for an industrial or a commercial area.

The ISDN GW is DOC Class A and should not be used in a residential area. An end-user in Canada is responsible for ensuring that his system is suitable for its environment as stated in the above paragraph.

ICES-003 Class A Notice

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
