Ground Connection
. Ensure that the unit is securely and permanently
connected to an earth ground (GND) with a ground wire of 18 gauge (18
AWG) or thicker. The ground wire needs to be installed between the
grounding screw on the MultiVOIP chassis and a permanent earth ground.
Whether the unit is used in a rack or on a desktop, you must verify that the
earth ground connection is permanent and reliable. In order for the ground
connection to be considered permanent, the grounding wire must connect to
the earth ground of the building's electrical wiring system and the ground
connection must use a screw terminal or other reliable means of fastening.
The ground connection must not be as easily disconnected as, for example, a
power cord.
