Joe, As I understood if the factory has its own Ethernet net than (terminal) devices destined to be connected to such net are not under the scope of RTTE directive because their owner connects them to his own net. Right ? But what if their internal net is also connected to the global Internet ? Do such devices become to be "terminal equipment" (under RTTE) because their owner is not also the owner all Internet ? Piotr Galka MicroMade Poland

Hi Anders: The distinction has to do with who owns and installs the equipment. If the network operator owns and installs the equipment, it will be subject to EN 300 386. Examples might include any type of equipment installed in a central office, or equipment the network operator owns and installs at a customer site, such as a PON to DSL converter in an apartment building. These qualify as "network equipment" and fall under the scope of EN 300 386 but not under the scope of the RTTE directive. On the other hand, if the equipment is purchased and installed by the end user, it is "terminal equipment" as defined in the RTTE directive. Examples might include a customer-owned PBX or DSL modem.
