HomeServer 3 - Commissioning

1.4 System requirements

A functioning EIB system is required in order to operate the HomeServer. Communication
with the EIB devices as well as monitoring of all events is via the EIB.
The HomeServer is programmed using the supplied Expert software that can be found in
the internet on the Gira home page. The Expert software can be operated on a commer-
cially available PC running the Microsoft® Windows operating system (from XP).
The operation and visualization of the device (not for WAP) can be carried out by the user
via the supplied user interface. A web or WAP browser or the client program (that is also
supplied in the internet) is used for this.

1.5 Area of application

The HomeServer is installed within buildings with "normal" humidity and room tempera-
ture. Use, e.g. in damp cellars may impair the correct functioning of the device.
The device is used for monitoring, visualization and control of EIB systems. The supplied
software may only be used together with the HomeServer.
Any other use of the device and the software is not permitted. Gira neither excepts legal
responsibility nor any warranty whatsoever for faults and damages caused by improper
use of the device or the supplied software.

1.6 Registration

Please take the time to fill in the registration form that can be found in the internet on the
Gira home page. Only registered users have the possibility of accessing the portal page
or of receiving a new password to access the portal page if the old password has been
forgotten. As a registered user, you will also receive technical support and will be regu-
larly informed regarding downloads, updates (further developments), additional modules
and training offers.

1.7 Updates

Updates remedy technical difficulties (bug-fixing) but also close security gaps. As soon
as your HomeServer communicates with the internet, you are subject to a possible attack
from a hacker. As the possibilities of such attacks are continually changing, updates for
the HomeServer may also be continually required in order to provide permanent protec-
tion. Please therefore look at the Gira home page at regular intervals to see whether there
is an update for the HomeServer firmware.
