Mounting the Data Gateway
You can either mount the Data Gateway on a wall or place it on a desktop. For
wall-mount applications, you can mount the Data Gateway with the indicators
facing upward (vertical) or to the side (horizontal).
Tools and Materials
For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and mate-
rials before proceeding:
•
for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4” (6mm) drywall anchors (not included),
two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self-tapping panhead screws (not included), and
a drill with 1/4” (6mm) bit (not included)
•
for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self-tapping
panhead wood screws (not included)
•
screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you
use)
•
wall-mount template (included)
•
transparent tape: for temporarily securing the mounting template to the wall
(not included)
Location
Always position the Data Gateway:
•
within reach of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet without
stretching and without adding extension cords.
•
near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs).

Note
:
When mounting the Data Gateway on drywall, try to position the Data
Gateway so at least one of the screws is fastened to a stud. This may
prevent the Data Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future. To
prevent overheating of the Data Gateway, do not block the ventilation
holes on the sides of the unit.
