Proper Use
Important: Auerswald products are not designed, manufactured, or
intended for use or resale in environments requiring fail-safe performance,
such as in the operation of life-support systems and/or nuclear facilities.
Use of our products for these purposes is only allowed with prior written per-
mission by Auerswald for each individual incident.
Important: Improper use may cause, for example, functional restrictions or
interference, the destruction of the device or, in a worst case scenario, per-
sonal injury.

If you have uninterruptible power supply, for example, the USV-5115
Telecom (Auerswald optional accessory), you can continue operating a
large part of the system during a power failure.
If at all possible, be sure to provide a separate electric circuit for the 230
V connection supplying the PBX.
Prevent unauthorized access to the PBX and its programming.
Never disclose user names, PINs, or the public IP address of the PBX.
This does not only concern postings in forums or communities, but also
to service logs of routers and Wireshark traces.
It is important to consistently use all of the available options for assign-
ing passwords. Do not use passwords which are easy to guess, such as
birthdays or anniversaries.
Make use of the permissions available (programming authorization,
exchange line authorizations, restricted numbers, etc.).
Check the call data recording of your PBX and the LOGs of your NAT
router regularly for inconsistencies.
Additional information about protecting the system from misuse can be
found in the internet on the pages of the German Federal Office for
Information Security (see
Anlagen).
If you are still not sure of the intended use of the product after reading
