Mr. Woods informed me of missing data from my first e-mail - sorry about that!
Equipment is medical (EN60601-1 Safety, EN60601-1-2 EMI) Countries: USA, Canada and Europe at this time There is also an option to use a short range telemetry unit with this device to transmit patient data. It is spread spectrum at 2.4 GHz. Is an OEM configuration which we repackage (the transmitter) into the battery back (+12V) worn my the athlete/patient. It does not have CE, but is complaint with ETSI 300.28 (I'm not sure what this is it yet)and FCC (which I still have not seen any FCC cert. yet). Does the telemetry module fall under the scope of the RTTE directive? If I'm missing any other pertinent information please advise.

It regarded a Ethernet port on test equipment. His question was as follows: 1. A phone line port has to comply with related regulations in Telecom world. In my recollection, PC industry just added an Immunity requirement to the phone line port. (It is included in EN55024?) But Ethernet can be converted to phone line through an adapter. Is there a similar immunity requirement for the Ethernet port in test equipment? If not, should it be added to EN61326? My dilemma is that my company "inherited" a piece of equipment via an earlier acquisition. On this piece of equipment they incorporated an RJ-11 telecom jack. Over this jack they are running power (+12V & pwr gnd) from a remote battery pack and RS-232 (Tx & Rx)comm which terminates to a PC. Can anyone provide me with some insight with regards to EMI/RFI requirements and device safety (I have somewhat of a handle on the safety side - but welcome other opinions!). None of these four lines have any type of safety (over current/voltage) protection nor any EMI filtering, etc. If you can provide some insight or reference to required standards I would appreciate it!!!!
