2.4

Restrict access to the various media

The basis of any protection plan is to isolate the system carefully against unauthorized access. Only
authorized persons (installers, janitors and users) should have physical access to a KNX system. During
planning and installation, the critical points of each KNX medium must be protected as effectively as
possible.
In general, applications and devices should be permanently installed to prevent them from being easily
removed, allowing unauthorized access to the KNX system. Sub-distributions with KNX devices should be
closed, or in rooms to which only authorized persons have access.
