Site Preparation
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your OnSite

A working knowledge of telecommunications and local area network (LAN) operations and a familiarity with communications protocols that are used on interconnected networks are assumed. Installation, maintenance, and removal of a chassis, or its components must be done by qualified ser- vice personnel only.
