Proper Grounding and Loop Current
Proper grounding is essential for any PBX system. Run a #6 AWG wire from the server
chassis to protection earth ground. Don’t wait for a problem to arise before taking this
step. Make sure this is one of the first things you do before turning the AltiGen system
on.
For more information on grounding and loop current issues, please refer to the
Knowledgebase at AltiGen’s dealer web site at

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Using a UPS prevents power fluctuations and surges on power sources from utilities.
Windows files can be corrupted as a result of power failure or improper system
shutdown.
Caution!
Corrupted files may not be repairable and may require re-installation of
Windows and MAX Communication Server. To protect your system from surges
and power outages, it is strongly recommended that an adequate UPS
(providing between 600VA and 1500VA) and power surge protector is used
with the system.
