VisuaLink 128/VisuaLink 384
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 RENs 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 users 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
