Security advice
Cambium Networks systems and equipment provide security parameters that can be configured
by the operator based on their particular operating environment. Cambium recommends setting
and using these parameters following industry recognized security practices. Security aspects to
be considered are protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and
assets. Assets include the ability to communicate, information about the nature of the
communications, and information about the parties involved.
In certain instances Cambium Networks makes specific recommendations regarding security
practices, however the implementation of these recommendations and final responsibility for the

Safety Precautions & Declared Material
General Equipment Precautions
Caution
To avoid malfunctioning or personnel injuries, equipment or accessories/kits/plug-in
unit installation, requires qualified and trained personnel. Changes or modifications
not expressly approved by Cambium Networks could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Caution
Where special cables, shields, adapters and grounding kits are supplied or described
in this manual, these items must be used, to comply with the FCC regulations.
Caution
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified
herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution
When working with a PTP 820C, note the following risk of electric shock and energy
hazard:
Disconnecting one power supply disconnects only one power supply module. To
isolate the unit completely, disconnect all power supplies.
Caution
Machine noise information order - 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure level
amounts to 70 dB (A) or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.
Anti Static
Static electricity may cause body harm, as well as harm to electronic components
inside the device. Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the PTP
820C must use an ESD Wrist Strap. ESD protection measures must be observed when
touching the unit. To prevent damage, before touching components inside the device,
all electrostatic must be discharged from both personnel and tools.
Caution

Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through
the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective
earthing – and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some
circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has
therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain
frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet
utstyr – og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare. For å unngå dette skal
det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator
mellom utstyret og kabel- TV nettet.
Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan
utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfőra risk főr
brand. Főr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nät
galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV nätet.
