I. Legal BasisThese Regulations are established pursuant to Paragraph 3, Article 3 of the"Cable Radio and TV Law" and Article 41-1 of the "Administrative Rules onEngineering Technique of Cable Radio and TV System", with the purpose toensure the quality of signal transmission of the Cable Radio and TV Servicesoperated by Integrated Fixed Communication Network Services (hereinafterreferred to as "Integrated Fixed-Network Operators"), so as to maintaincustomer's rights and interests.

II. The Verification Items and Principle
Integrated Fixed-Network Operators who receive permit to prepare for CableRadio and TV system issued by Government Information Office of the ExecutiveYuan, shall conduct engineering verification on their systems by the DirectorateGeneral of Telecommunications (hereinafter referred to as the DGT). Theverification items and principles are as following:
1. General Verification:The whole amount of verification is adopted, including data verification,fault appeal and handling as well as ground test.
2. Verification of Headend Control Room:The whole amount of verification is adopted, including on-line test,construction and maintenance logbooks as well as emergency power supply.
3. Verification of Transmission Circuit for the Subscribers' End:
A sampling verification is adopted. The Cable Radio and TV ReviewCommittee will follow a network distribution of DSLAM to file forverification by Integrated Fixed-Network Operators with a normal inspectionof AQL4.0, which adjusts accounts of the sampling number, the samplinggraph number and coordinate points. The verification staff of the DGT shallsample the graph number and coordinate points, in accordance with theCable Radio and TV Review Committee, to select and verify subscribernodes of the nearest network (indicating remote access equipment for thesubscriber's building, the curb or subscriber's end that can provide interfacefor the subscriber's terminal equipment) for a sampling point within a servicerange of that DSLAM, which determines to be acceptable with a normalinspection of AQL4.0.

III. The Verification Regulations
1. General Verification:
(1) Data Verification:
In accordance with the proposal permitted by Government InformationOffice of the Executive Yuan, the following items should:
(i) A block diagram of system configuration
(ii) A catalog of system equipment and their functions
(iii) The quantities of the subscriber installation and a planning table ofthe spectra for the lines
(2) Fault Appeal and Handling:
Integrated Fixed-Network Operators shall provide a free service call forfault appeal. Handling of every call of fault appeal shall be recorded forinspection with the attachment of a receipt of fault appeal as well as aflow of fault handling or other certificates.
(3) Ground Test:
(i) The Criterion Value of Ground Resistance: The value of groundresistance at the headend shall be less than 15ohm, that of an outdooroverhead cable less than 50ohm, and that of a subscriber's node lessthan 100ohm.
(ii) An outdoor overhead cable has its ground resistance to be testedamong each headend control room, to which approaches the nearestlead-in cable of the control room end shall be a test point. The valueof ground resistance shall be less than 50ohm.
(iii) The test shall be conducted by using the measuring instruments forground resistance.
(iv) Integrated Fixed-Network Operators who make use of their FixedNetworks to operate Cable Radio and TV Services shall be exemptedfrom this verification. If there are some doubt appears then a test isneeded, an inspection shall be conducted pursuant to theAdministrative Regulations on Integrated Fixed CommunicationNetwork.
2. Verification of Headend Control Room:
(1) On-line Test:
(i) On-line indications
(ii) The abnormal status of a subscriber's end and its alarm
(iii) The related transmission equipment with the fault detection
(2) Construction and Maintenance Logbooks:
An engineering superintendent shall sign construction and maintenancelogbooks of system, which formats are established by the respectiveGeneral Network Services Operator with a one-year period ofconservation.
(3) Backup Power Supply:A control room shall be provided with emergency power supplyequipment or uninterruptible power supply.
3. Verification of Transmission Circuit for the Subscribers' End:
Criteria of transmission circuit for the subscribers' end:
(1) A Test of Downlink Channels:
Throughput should be greater than 3Mbps with a test of 5 minutes'duration.
(2) A Test of Uplink Channels:
When a test point of the splitter for every subscriber is under a test, thesubscriber's end and a control room should prepare their own modems,and connect their PC with Ethernet port to conduct a test from thesubscriber terminal pinging to a control room. A criterion test is asfollows:
(i) Modem Parameter Setting:
Channel Data Rate: Applicants shall select one data rate of 64kbps to512kbps.
(ii) The Length of ping: 256byte at least.
(iii) The Frequency of ping: 1000 times at least.
(iv) The Frequency of ping timeout shall be less than or equal to 10 times.
(v) Response time per ping shall be less than or equal to 100ms.
Otherwise, it shall be regarded as timeout.

IV. Judgment Criteria and Handling Principle for Verifications:
1. Judgment Criteria of Verifications
(1) An inspection of the whole number for general verification and a control room of verification at a Headend must be acceptable; transmission circuitfor the subscriber's end shall be verified using the normal inspection of AQL4.0 as criteria. The above-mentioned inspection needs to completelycomply with the regulations so as to be judged as acceptable (as Table 8).
(2) If there exists any item to be clarified, Integrated Fixed-NetworkOperators must provide evidence to prove that the reasons are notattributable to them. The DGT shall test again the items to be clarified, ordetermine that those items are not qualified.
2. Handling Principle of Verification Results
(1) During verification, if any of the sampling points is not qualified, the DGT shall continue to verify the rest of the sampling points and list all therest of verifications, so that Integrated Fixed-Network Operators can makeimprovement.
(2) If the results of the verification are judged as disqualification, IntegratedFixed-Network Operators shall reapply to the Government Information Officeof the Executive Yuan for re-inspection after their improvement.
