Notes for the Use of this Device in New Zealand
The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom acceptance of
responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all operating conditions.
This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance
to other Telecom customers.
Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC Specifications are
dependent on the equipment connected to the RS 232 port. The connected
equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with
Telecom Specifications:
1. Equipment connected to the RS 232 port shall be certified to meet the
requirements of the New Zealand Electricity Act 1993 and any associated Codes
of Practice.
2. When the user manually initiates a call via equipment connected to the
RS 232 port, the equipment shall operate with the following instructions:
a. Not more than 5 call attempts shall be made to the same number within a
one hour period.
b. There shall be at least 60 seconds between call attempts.
c. Not more than a total of 10 call attempts shall be made to the same number
for any single manual call initiation.
d. Automatic calls to different numbers shall not be less than 5 seconds apart.
Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and
arrange for its disposal or repair.
When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a value
between 2 and 5. This ensures that a person calling your modem will hear a short
burst of ringing before the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been
successfully switched through the network.
The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT ...) as this is faster and
more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialling. If for some reason you must use decadic
dialling, your communications program must be set up to record numbers using the
following translation table as this modem does not implement the New Zealand
“Reverse Dialling” standard.
Number to be dialed: 0123456789
Number to program into computer: 0987654321
Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be entered normally.
