Remote Office 9150 ISDN BRI Interface information—

for Norway and Sweden only

EN 60950:1992 Annex ZB, Special National conditions, Clause 6.2.1.2 states

that in Norway and Sweden, supplementary insulation for a primary circuit is

required between a Telecommunications Network Voltage (TNV) circuit and

any circuit that has a connection to a protective earthing terminal.

The Remote Office 9150 unit has the ability to support up to four ISDN BRI

adapters from Nortel Networks as a merchandise item. The Nortel Networks part

number is P0935714.
