Cables
Each electric cable must be handled carefully. This is important to avoid damage to
the cable. This is also important to avoid electric shock in the event that the cable is
unintentionally connected to a power source.
Cabinets
Do not open racks or cabinet doors while sailing in rough seas. Doors and/or cabinet
parts may suddenly swing open and cause damage or injury.

Network security
If a ST90 system is connected to a local area network, data security is important.
Equipment manufactured by Kongsberg Maritime is frequently connected to the vessel's
local area network (LAN). When you connect a computer to a local area network you will
always expose the data on that computer. All other computers connected to the same
network may be able to access your data. Several threats may immediately occur:
• Remote computers can read the data.
• Remote computers can change the data.
• Remote computers can change the behavior of the computer, for example by installing
unwanted software.
Usually, two parameters are used to define the threat level:
1 The likelihood that any remote computer will do any of the above.
2 The damage done if a remote computer succeeds doing this.
Kongsberg Maritime has no information regarding the complete system installation on
any vessel. Systems provided by Kongsberg Maritime are regarded as stand-alone offline
systems. They are stand-alone even though they may be connected to a network for sensor
interfaces and/or data distribution.
Note
No network safety applications are installed on Kongsberg Maritime computers. The
computers are therefore not protected against viruses, malware or unintentional access by
external users.
