Description

This Standard specifies technical criteria for terminal
equipment approved in accordance with Title 47 of the U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations (47 C.F.R.), Part 68 for direct connection to
the public switched telephone network, including private line
services provided over wireline facilities owned by providers of
wireline telecommunications.

Conformance to the technical criteria in this Standard does not
assure compatibility with wireline carrier services.

Except for the grandfathered terminal equipment identified in
Annex A, the technical criteria in this Standard applies to direct
connection of terminal equipment (TE) and certain types of test
equipment (see clause 3.1) to the following types of wireline
carrier interfaces:

a) Loop start (not including party lines)

b) Ground start

c) Loop reverse-battery incoming (e.g., direct inward dialing
and public safety answering point trunks)

d) Loop reverse-battery outgoing (e.g., E911 PBX trunks)

e) E&M (e.g., analog tie trunks)

f) Off-premises station (OPS)

g) Private line (ringdown, voice band metallic, and in-band)

h) Local area data channel

i) Subrate (e.g., 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, and 56 kbps DDS)

j) PSDS Types I, II, and III

k) DS1 and ISDN PRI (1.544 Mbps)

l) ISDN BRI and IDSL

m) ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, and reach extended ADSL2 (READSL2)

n) SHDSL and ESHDSL

o) HDSL2, SMC4, and HDSL4

p) SDSL

q) SMC6, VDSL, and VDSL2

r) SMC2, SMC3, SMC7, SMC8, and other DSL

Requirements retained by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) in 47 C.F.R. Part 68, including hearing aid compatibility and
volume control, are not covered by this Standard.

Equipment grandfathered by FCC action is identified in Annex A
along with the conditions that allow such TE to be connected
without approval.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Standard is to provide technical criteria to
protect wireline carrier networks from the harms defined by the
Federal Communications Commission in 47 C.F.R. section 68.3. This
Standard was developed for submission to the Administrative Council
for Terminal Attachments (ACTA).
