    Safety notes This section gives advice on safety that you have to heed when using your LAN Console or RCA. This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for information technol- ogy equipment including electrical machines for use in office environments. Please contact your local sales office or our Service organization if you are in doubt about whether the device can be installed in the environment you envis- age.

    Disrupted RCA - LAN Console connection 7.4.3.1 LAN connection disrupted It can happen that the connection between the RCA and the LAN Console is not terminated properly. This results in an open, hanging connection on the RCA side. The reason for this could be that the connector on the LAN Console has been detached, or that the connection from the RCA to the LAN has not been working for some time.
