AFFIDAVIT REQUIREMENTS FOR CONNECTION TO
DIGITAL SERVICES
• An affidavit is required to be given to the telephone
company whenever digital terminal equipment with-
out encoded analog content and billing protection is
used to transmit digital signals containing encoded
analog content which are intended for eventual con-
version into voiceband analog signals and transmitted
on the network.
• The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded ana-
log content or billing information is being transmitted
or that the output of the device meets Part 68 encoded
analog content or billing protection specifications.
• End user/customer will be responsible to file an affi-

CANADIAN EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits
for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set
out in the interference-causing equipment standard enti-
tled "Digital Apparatus," ICES-003 of the Department of
Communications.
Cet appareil numerique respecte les limites de bruits

CANADIAN EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
Notice: The Canadian Industry and Science Canada
label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunica-
tions network protective, operational, and safety require-
ments. The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, ensure that it is permissi-
ble to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommuni-
cations company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases,
the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line
individual service may be extended by means of a certified

xii NT1 ACE4User Manual 61200242L1-1
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). Compli-
ance with the above conditions may not prevent degrada-
tion of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request the
user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility, tele-
phone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate elec-
tric inspection authority, or an electrician, as
appropriate.
TheLoadNumber(LN)assignedtoeachterminaldevice
denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected
to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to pre-
vent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist

The U interface complies with ANSI T1.601 and ITU-
T1.430 Recommendation Standard. The S/T interface com-
plies with ANSI T1.605 and ETSI ETS 300012 Standard.
The ADTRAN NT1 ACE4is a stand-alone unit and is pow-
ered by an external power supply (the ADTRAN power
supply, part number 336012VUR01).
LED Indicators
Table 1-1 describes the status of the LEDs located on the
front panel of the NT1 ACE4.ThereisaREADY and
ERROR indicator for each port of the NT1 ACE4.
Table 1-1. Status Indicators
If an ERROR indicator is illuminated, check the flash rate of
the READY indicator to determine the source of the error. A
faster 8 Hz flash rate (8 flashes per second) indicates a net-
work problem. A slower 1 Hz flash rate (1 flash per second)
indicates an S/T interface problem.
LED Color Description
READY Green S/T and U interfaces are
ready to place call.
ERROR Red S/T or U interface not
ready.

61200242L1-1 NT1 ACE4User Manual 3
NT1 ACE4User Manual
If an ERROR indicator is not illuminated and the READY
indicator is flashing, a network test is in progress. Network
command tests cause a faster 8 Hz flash rate.
Inspection
After unpacking the NT1 ACE4, carefully inspect it for ship-
ping damage. If damage is suspected, file a claim immedi-
ately with the carrier and contact ADTRAN Technical
Support. If possible, keep the original shipping container
for use in shipping the NT1 ACE4forrepairorforverifica-
tion of damage during shipment.
Maintenance
The NT1 ACE4requires no routine maintenance to operate.
In case of equipment malfunction, refer to the sections
Remote Testing and Repair and Return below or remove the
unit and replace it with another unit optioned in an identi-
cal manner.
Remote Testing
Network test features include a loopback test initiated at the
central office. This test confirms network integrity to the
NT1 ACE4.
Repair and Return
Repairs should not be performed in the field. Repair ser-
vices can be obtained by returning the unit to the ADTRAN
