Telecom requirements apply to analog products only.
Approved terminal equipment (TE) and approved protective circuitry shall prominently display the following
information using the format shown below:
■
Responsible party or manufacturer
■
Product Identification
■
Equipment Code
■
Ringer Equivalence
■
Ringer Type
■
Indication that the product meets the requirements of FCC Part 68
The information required by the first five items shall correspond to the records in the ACTA database of approved
equipment. The required information shall be encoded in the following format:
US: AAAEQ##TXXX
Where:
■
US: Is a fixed field that indicates the equipment meets all requirements of 47 CFR Part 68, including the
requirements published by ACTA.
■
AAA is the responsible party’s Grantee Code obtained previously from the FCC’s Common Carrier Bureau or
currently from ACTA.
■
EQ Is an equipment code indicating to the Service Provider any special signal handling or billing
requirements. The equipment codes are listed in Annex A (normative).
■
## is the Ringer Equivalence Number without a decimal point (e.g. REN of 1.0 = 10, REN of 0.3 = 03). In the
case of a “Z” ringer, ZZ shall appear. In the case of approved equipment without a network interface and
equipment not connecting to circuits with analog ringing supplied then “NA” shall appear.
■
T is the ringer type letter associated with the Ringer Equivalence Number, in accordance with the technical
requirements. In the case of approved equipment without a network interface and equipment not
connecting to circuits with analog ringing supplied, the letter “N” shall appear.
■
XXX Is a product identifier, unique when combined with the responsible party’s Grantee Code, of at least
one and up to nine alphanumeric characters (including one or more dashes (-) if desired. A dash shall not
appear as the first or last character nor shall the identifier consist entirely of dashes). The responsible party
shall define this identifier.
