Hi Corinne & Treg In Europe, NT, TA and NTU type apparatus that is provided by the PTT / PTO is normally deemed part of the network.
In some cases, provision of an NT or a Terminal Adapter may alter the safety status of the host network. An analoge network may be TNV3 status (IEC60950) but when a TA is fitted (to provide say, a digital leased line), the digital port (i.e. V.24) may be declared at a lower level such as TNV1 or 2. This is an important consideration that requires checking with the PTT or approval body. Hope this helps Regards: Bill Ellingford ---------- From: Corinne SALINGRE[SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: 06 October 1999 07:16 To: Liste ICMA; Liste treg Subject: NTU vs TTE Maybe my question if nonsense but I need to discuss this point with you all. In my understanding a network termination unit, which is installed by the operator and remains property of the operator is NOT considered as being terminal equipment (as in the TTE and future R&TTE directives). For example an ISDN NTU which provides to the customer the plug and the functions to connect phones, PC... is part of the network offer and not of the terminal installation. Right or wrong ? Thanks for your comments.
