Notes for use of this device in New Zealand The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecomacceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that deviceunder all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at whichthis modem is capable of operating depend on a specific networkimplementation which is only one of many ways of delivering highquality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not bereported as a fault to Telecom. In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only workproperly if:a/ It is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call, and;b/ The application using the modem is compatible with the applicationat the other end of the call - for example, accessing the Internetrequires suitable software in addition to a modem. This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitutea nuisance to other Telecom customers. Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTCSpecifications are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated withthis modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate withinthe following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:a/ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same numberwithin any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and;b/ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of thenext, and;c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5seconds apart. Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physicallydamaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair. The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are asfollows:ATB0 (CCITT operation)AT&G2 (1800Hz guard tone)AT&P1 (decadic dialing make-break ratio 33%/67%)ATS0 0 (disable auto answer)ATS6 4 (blind dial delay)ATS7 Less than 90 (time to wait for carrier after dialing)ATS10 Less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay - the factorydefault of 15 is recommended)ATS11 90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration in milliseconds)ATX2 (dial tone detect, but not USA call progress detect)User’s Manualxi

When used in Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with to avalue of either 3 or 4. This ensures: a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing beforethe modem answers. This confirms that the call has beensuccessfully switched through the network. caller identification information (which occurs between the first andsecond ring cadences) is not destroyed. The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT.) as thisis faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for somereason you must use decadic dialing, your communications programmust be set up to record numbers using the following translation tableas this modem does not implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing”standard.Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should beentered normally. The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because ofthis there may be circumstances where the performance is less thanoptimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check theline with a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault ifthe phone performance is impaired. It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from theTelecom line during electrical storms. When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom lineconnection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first. This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alertcadences and services such as FaxAbility.NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVECAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOMGeneral conditionsAs required by PTC 100, please ensure that this office is advised of anychanges to the specifications of these products which might affectcompliance with the relevant PTC Specifications.The grant of this Telepermit is specific to the above products with themarketing description as stated on the Telepermit label artwork.
