CAUTION
Minimize links to external URLs. Linking to external URLs, such as Favorites, Web
cams and external Web services poses a security risk.
URLs shall only direct to secure services, such as Web servers hosted by devices
in the building automation control network. Using touch panels for applications
other than building automation, for example, to display a news Web site, exposes
your system to the risk of downloading and executing malicious scripts.
The system integrator is responsible for making a risk-benefit decision about
providing external URLs and for informing the customer of potential risks.
