NOTICE
Please verify that interconnect cables, interfaces, and handling of the devices comply with the
requirements (see chapter 9, page 43).
First-time users are recommended to set up the system in a test environment that is limited to a single
room. This makes it easier to identify and solve any cabling problems, and experiment with your system
more conveniently.
