Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a type of radiation that can hinder your system. Keep the following in mind when selecting cables: Dialogic requires that all cabling with the exception of the power cord be shielded. Shielded cable will prevent outside electrical interference and will drain off any induced current.
Procedure The IMG 1004 and supplied items are shipped in a single container. Carefully unpack the unit as described below. 1. Open the container and remove the packing list.
Procedure 1. Position the mounting brackets on the side of the IMG 1004 in either the front or rear of chassis and secure with supplied screws. 2. Align the holes on the mounting bracket ears to the mounting holes on the rack.

SD Card. A new feature which has been implemented in software build 10.5.0 provisions the IMG 1004 as an FTP server instead of just an FTP client. This will give the user the ability to transfer files to and from the SD Card using the FTP utility. The FTP server functionality is disabled by default and would need to be enabled through ClientView in order for the remote provisioning to work.
