Important Information
Safety Information
Caution: Electrostatic charges can destroy sensitive components.
• Divert electrostatic charges from yourself before touching the circuit boards
with your hands or any tools. To do this, touch a metal object, preferably
earthed, such as the PBX's earthing terminal, the 19" casing, or a computer
casing.
Important: Mechanical loads and electro-magnetic fields can impair the PBX
operation.
• Avoid mechanical loads (e. g. vibrations).
• Avoid the proximity of devices that generate electro-magnetic fields (e.g. radio
sets, professional radio equipment, amateur radio equipment, mobile phones,
DECT systems, etc.).
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
• Protect the PBX from dirt, excessive dust, condensation caustic liquids and
steam.
• Note the values for ambient temperature and humidity indicated in the technical
data.
Important: A power failure, damaged connection lines, power sockets, or short-
circuits in other devices in the building services can put the PBX out of operation.
• If you have an uninterruptible power supply, you can continue operating the
majority of the system during a power failure.
• If possible, provide a separate electric circuit for the connection that supplies
the PBX.
Important: Take suitable measures for protecting your data and the PBX against
misuse.
• Prevent unauthorised access to the PBX and its programming.
• Never tell anyone the user names, passwords, PINs, or the public IP address
of the PBX. This applies to postings in forums and communities, router service
logs and Wireshark traces.
• Consistently use all available options for assigning passwords. Do not use
passwords that are easy to guess, such as birthdays or anniversaries.
• Use the available permissions (programming authorisation, exchange line
authorisations, restricted numbers, etc.).
• Check your PBX's call data management and your NAT router's LOGs regularly
for inconsistencies.
• You will find more information about protecting the system from misuse on the
Internet pages on the pages of the German Federal Office for Information
Security (see www.bsi.bund.de, with search term TK-Anlagen), and in this
document.
