TYPE OF SERVICE
The VisuaLink 128 and the VisuaLink 384 are stand-alone devices that allow multimedia conferencing by
transmitting video, audio and data to remote locations over the ISDN Basic Rate interface. The VisuaLink 128
and VisuaLink 384 connect to the ISDN digital network through separately-registered NTI equipment. They
provide POTS ports which allow a customer-provided 2500-type telephone access to the digital network.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The equipment label will appear on the rear exterior
panel of the unit and will provide the FCC Registration Number, NEC trade name, model number, serial
number or date of manufacture and the country of origin.
TELEPHONE COMPANY PROCEDURES
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may
occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations, or procedures. If these
changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you
notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to
it, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to
maintain uninterrupted service.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request from you concerning the
equipment which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide
the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) of the equipment which is connected to
your line; both of these items are listed on the equipment label The sum of all of the REN's on your telephone
lines should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a
sum of five may not be usable on a given line.

IF PROBLEMS ARISE
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your
telephone lines, as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they
may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If
advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be
given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
In the event repairs are ever needed on your Visualink 128 or VisuaLink 384, they should be performed by
NEC America, Inc. or an authorized representative of NEC America, Inc. For information contact:

CSA Requirement
To ensure that certified equipment is attached correctly, and only to the networks of participating carriers, the
following statement shall accompany each unit of certified equipment offered for sale. This statement must be
included conspicuously in written or electronic format, at or near the front of each copy of the operating
manual, or accompany other technical information, or be included as a separate sheet. The required statement
is:
CP-01, Issue 8, Part I
Section 14.1
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does
not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative 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,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may
be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection
