Installing the Telephony Modem 9
Wall-Mounting the Telephony Modem
Use this procedure to mount the Telephony Modem on a wall or other verti-
cal surface.
Note
: For rack-mounting instructions, see ‘‘Rack-Mounting the Telephony
Modem’’ on page 11. Rack-mounting requires the optional rack-mounting
bracket kit.
Mounting Options
For best results, ARRIS recommends mounting the Telephony Modem to one
of the following surfaces:
• Plywood or studs, using wood screws.
• Drywall, using drywall anchors.
• Concrete, using concrete anchors.
The mounting surface must be flat and even to avoid warping or damaging
the Telephony Modem enclosure when tightening the screws. Damage due
to improper installation is not covered under warranty.
