The control software supplied to run on the card (downloaded to RAM) has been tested for
compliance with the requirements of the Approval Authority referred to in the
Country Specific
Information
appendices
for connection to the digital network. The Approval label on the card is
only valid and applicable if the card is used with the Aculab supplied signalling software
appropriate for the Approval label.
Use of any other control software on a port connected to the PSTN is not covered by the
approval and reference must be made to the Approvals Authority before any connection to the
network is made.
3.12 User
Responsibilities
There may be configurations of the E1/T1 PCI card along with other equipment that may require
additional approval testing by an accredited test laboratory.
In particular, in producing the approval certificate for the card, the Approval Authority did not
place any specific restriction on the use of the card apart from any restrictions listed in the
Country
Specific Information
appendices.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that all of the legal requirements for attachment are
met, thus the user is advised to seek competent advice regarding any particular equipment
configuration or use.
3.13 Speech
Calls
If the E1/T1 PCI card is used in an application that makes or answers calls with a service code
that indicates a speech or telephony call, or any call that may use a partly analogue route, the
Approval Authority may place requirements on the audio signals transmitted. Please refer to the
Country Specific Information
appendices for more details.
Many of the speech and FAX resource cards that may be used with the E1/T1 PCI card may
comply with Approval Authority requirements, but it is the responsibility of the user to ensure
that Approval requirements are complied with, by confirmation via the manufacturer of the card,
or by any other suitable means such as independent testing.
Signal sources that do not in themselves guarantee compliance with Approval requirements must
be conditioned by appropriate circuitry before transmission.
