    (4) Limitations on Terminal Equipment Connected to ISDN BRA. If 
registered terminal equipment connecting to ISDN BRA services contains 
a digital-to-analog converter, or generates signals directly in digital 
form, which are intended for eventual conversion into voiceband analog 
signals, the encoded analog content of the digital signal must be 
limited. The maximum equivalent power of the encoded analog signals, 
other than live voice as derived from a zero-level-decoder test 
configuration, shall not exceed -12 dBm when averaged over a three 
second interval. The maximum equivalent power of encoded analog 
signals, as derived by a zero-level decoder test configuration, for 
network control signaling, shall not exceed -3 dBm when averaged over 
any three-second interval.
