Your Responsibility for Your System’s Security
Toll fraud is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system
by an unauthorized party, for example, persons other than your com-
pany’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or persons working on your
company’s behalf. Note that there may be a risk of toll fraud associated
with your telecommunications system and, if toll fraud occurs, it can
result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications
services.
You and your system manager are responsible for the security of your
system, such as programming and configuring your equipment to pre-
vent unauthorized use. The system manager is also responsible for
reading all installation, instruction, and system administration docu-
ments provided with this product in order to fully understand the fea-
tures that can introduce risk of toll fraud and the steps that can be taken
to reduce that risk. Lucent Technologies does not warrant that this
product is immune from or will prevent unauthorized use of com-
mon-carrier telecommunication services or facilities accessed through
or connected to it. Lucent Technologies will not be responsible for any
charges that result from such unauthorized use.
Lucent Technologies Fraud Intervention
If you suspect that you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need
technical support or assistance, call Technical Service Center Toll
Fraud Intervention Hotline at 1 800 643-2353.
Federal Communications Commission Statement
Part 15: Class A Statement. This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a resi-
dential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Part 68: Network Registration Number. This equipment is registered
with the FCC in accordance with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. It is identi-
fied by FCC registration number AS593M-13283-MF-E.
Part 68: Answer-Supervision Signaling. Allowing this equipment to
be operated in a manner that does not provide proper answer-supervi-
sion signaling is in violation of Part 68 Rules. This equipment returns
answer-supervision signals to the public switched network when:
• Answered by the called station
• Answered by the attendant
• Routed to a recorded announcement that can be administered by
the CPE user
This equipment returns answer-supervision signals on all DID calls
forwarded back to the public switched telephone network. Permissible
exceptions are:
• A call is unanswered
•A busy tone is received
• A reorder tone is received
