AVIS: L’étiquette du ministére des Communications du Canada identifie le matériel
homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de
protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Le
Ministére n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de
l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder
aux installations de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit
également étre installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. Dans
certains cas, les fils intérieurs de l’enterprise utilisés pour un service individueal à ligne
unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d’un dispositif homologué de raccordement
(cordon prolongateur téléphonique interne).
L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions
énoncées ci-dessus n’empêchent pas la dégradation du service dans certaines
situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunication ne permettent pas que
l’on raccorde leur matériel à des jacks d’abonné, sauf dans les cas précis prévus pas
les tarifs particuliers de ces entreprises.
Les reparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre
d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de
télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite
de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais
fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fits de mise à la terre
de la source d’énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau
métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est
particulièrement importance dans les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-
même; il doit avoir recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à
un electricien, selon le cas.
L’indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique, pour éviter toute
surcharge, le pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordée à un circuit
téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du circuit bouclé peut être
constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des
indices de charge de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.

Security of Your Systern—Preventing Toll Fraud
As a customer of a new telephone system, you should be aware that there exists an
increasing problem of telephone toll fraud. Telephone toll fraud can occur in many
forms, despite the numerous efforts of telephone companies and telephone equipment
manufacturers to control it. Some individuals use electronic devices to prevent or
falsify records of these calls. Others charge calls to someone else’s number by
illegally using lost or stolen calling cards, billing innocent parties, clipping on to
someone else’s line, and breaking into someone else’s telephone equipment physically
or electronically. In certain instances, unauthorized individuals make connections to
the telephone network through the use of remote access features.
The Remote Access feature of your system, if you choose to use it, permits off-
premises callers to access the system from a remote telephone by using an 800
number or a 7-digit or 10-digit telephone number. The system returns an
acknowledgement signaling the user to key in his or her authorization code, which is
selected and administered by the system manager. After the authorization code is
accepted, the system returns dial tone to the user. If you do not program specific
egress restrictions, the user will be able to place any call normally dialed from a
telephone associated with the system. Such an off-premises network call is originated
at, and will be billed from the system location.
The Remote Access feature, as designed, helps the customer, through proper
administration, to minimize the ability of unauthorized persons to gain access to the
network. Most commonly, phone numbers and codes are compromised when
overheard in a public location, through theft of a wallet or purse containing access
information, or through carelessness (writing codes on a piece of paper and improperly
discarding it). Additionally, hackers may use a computer to dial an access code and
then publish the information to other hackers. Enormous charges can be run up
quickly. It is the customer’s responsibility to take the appropriate steps to properly
implement the features, evaluate and administer the various restriction levels, protect
access codes, and distribute access codes only to individuals who have been fully
advised of the sensitive nature of the access information.
Common carriers are required by law to collect their tariffed charges. While these
charges are fraudulent charges made by persons with criminal intent, applicable tariffs
state that the customer of record is responsible for payment of all long-distance or
other network charges. AT&T cannot be responsible for such charges and will not
make any allowance or give any credit for charges that result from unauthorized
access.
Customer Support information xv

Customer support
Information
To minimize the risk of unauthorized access to your communications system:
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
Use a nonpublished Remote Access number.
Assign authorization codes randomly to users on a need-to-have basis,
keeping a log of ALL authorized users and assigning one code to one person.
Use random sequence authorization codes, which are less likely to be easily
broken.
Deactivate all unassigned codes promptly.
Ensure that Remote Access users are aware of their responsibility to keep the
telephone number and any authorization codes secure.
When possible, restrict the off-network capability of off-premises callers, via
use of Call Restrictions and Disallowed List capabilities.
When possible, block out-of-hours calling.
Frequently monitor system call detail reports for quicker detection of any
unauthorized or abnormal calling patterns.
Limit Remote Call Forward to persons on a need-to-have basis.
Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liability
AT&T warrants to you, the customer, that your MERLIN LEGEND Communications
System will be in good working order on the date AT&T or its authorized reseller
