When using this Ethernet Switch for applications which require extremely high
reliability, be careful to expend all possible means to ensure safety and
reliability.
This Ethernet Switch is not designed nor manufactured with the intention that it be
used for applications (in use with railways, aviation, and medical care, etc. where
the influence rate due to communication failures is extremely high in regard to
systems that directly affect systems and human lives) which require extremely high
reliability.
Be aware of glitches which are caused in the usage environments such as
age-related degradation, etc.
This may vary depending upon conditions such as utilisation rates and usage
environments, but performance might decrease due to the age-related
degradation, etc. of components. It is recommended that this Ethernet Switch be
replaced about five years after it has been installed.
Be careful in regards to environmental restrictions whereby the Ethernet
Switch can be used.
Please isolate the business power lines and communication lines. Isolate distribution
lines and other distribution lines, and low current power lines, optical fiber cables,
metallic water conduits, and gas conduits, etc. Noise may be generated in the
communication lines which might cause communication glitches.
CAUTION
Important Requests on Protection from Lightning Strike
If you connect a network camera, a wireless access point, or other devices that can be
affected by a lightning strike (in particular, devices installed outdoors) to the twisted pair
port of this Ethernet Switch, a lightning surge current/voltage may be conducted to this
Ethernet Switch through the twisted pair cable, leading to malfunction. If you connect such a
device, it is strongly recommended that you install a surge protective device (SPD) on the
twisted pair port side of this Ethernet Switch.
A lightning surge current/voltage may be conducted to this Ethernet Switch through the
power supply or ground wire connected to the power port, leading to malfunction. If a
lightning surge current/voltage may flow in through the power supply or ground wire, it is
recommended that you install a surge protective device (SPD) on the power port side of this
Ethernet Switch.
