Wall-mounting the Bridge

The Bridge comes equipped with a cradle for mounting on a wall. For additional security, the Bridge also 
comes with a locking bar, which can be used with a security lock (not provided) to lock the Bridge to the 
cradle after the Bridge is mounted to the wall.

To wall-mount the Bridge:

1

Screw the cradle to a wall.

2

Route the power and Ethernet cables through the large opening in the cradle. 

The figures below show the cradle being mounted to a wall, and then a cable being routed 
through the large opening in the cradle.

3

Connect the power and Ethernet cables to the ports on the front of the Bridge.

4

Snap the Bridge onto the cradle.

To install the locking bar, push the locking bar through the opening in the side of the cradle until the 
hole on the locking bar is exposed. Insert a lock (not provided) through the hole on the locking bar, 
and then close the lock to secure it in place. See the user guide for detailed instructions.

Placing the Bridge on a Flat Surface

To install the Bridge on a flat surface such as a table or desktop, remove the backing from the four 
rubber feet and attach them on the bottom of the cradle. 

CAUTION:

  Do not place the Bridge on any type of metal surface. Select a location that is clear 

of obstructions and provides good reception.
