1.1 Select of the Installation part
The following aspects shall be taken into consideration while selecting a site for the
system installation:
Good accessibility – All interfaces for the connection of the telecommunication
interfaces or data network connections, as well as the switch-on, switch-off and
system reset controls are placed on the front side.
Protection against humidity and extreme temperatures – The appliance
may never be placed close to heat sources (radiators) or places exposed to direct
sunshine. Also places with high humidity (such as bathrooms and cellars), places
with significant temperature fluctuation (next to doors, windows,
air-conditioning), dusty places (workshops, etc.) or places exposed to aggressive
gases (accumulator room, boiler room) as well as places with intensive vibrations
and places exposed to shocks (compressor rooms, heavy industrial operations)
should be avoided. The system should be installed horizontally.
Installation of infrastructure in the building – The system was designed for
installation in a 19" rack and connection to the structured wiring infrastructure
with termination at a CAT 3 or CAT 5 patch panel. If the infrastructure is already
ready the switchboard installation site is usually given and can not be further
changes. The interface must however be adjusted for the connection via RJ 45
8/8 plugs.
GSM signal quality – If a GSM card is a part of your system (or will become
later on), it is necessary to consider that the cable leading from the GSM card to
the GSM antenna is usually 3m long (max. 10m). You should ensure that within
this diameter from the selected system installation site a place with good GSM
signal suitable for placement of the GSM antenna is available. *)
Theft protection – While selecting the installation site the insurance company
conditions should be regarded as well.
Note
In the areas with very poor GSM signal level or high number of GSM gates
the use of internal (takes the position of a line card) or external GSM
splitter is advantageous.
