System ID - System Segregation
The system ID provides a mechanism for segregation of two or more systems that are in close physical proximity,
as summarised previously.

which case it is a requirement that remote access is available through a reliable broadband internet connection;
Thomas & Betts will provide a wireless broadband modem for the duration of the DLP and may call on the
customer’s on-site maintenance staff to connect the modem or reset from time to time if required. Alternatively,
remote access may be made available by the end user via a WAN or VPN connection to the site.
DLP support includes testing at 6 and 12 month intervals following completion of commissioning and repairs which
may be required following testing.
