CAUTION
When connecting a PC to the PBX via the RS-232C port, it is necessary to keep the following in mind to
protect the system:
1. Make sure that both connector cases
(frame ground) of the RS-232C cross cable (shielded cable)/USB
cable are conductive. If they are not conductive, make sure that both connector cases of the cable are
firmly connected.
2. If this is not possible, connect the frame of the PBX to the frame of the PC using an earthing wire in
order to prevent difference in the electrical potentials.
