Mounting the Wideband Modem
You can either mount the Wideband Modem on a wall or place it on a desktop. For
wall-mount applications, you can mount the Wideband Modem 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:
• screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you
use)
• wall-mount template (included with the Wideband Modem Quick Installation
Guide)
• transparent tape (for temporarily securing the mounting template to the
wall)
• for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 (or #8) x 38.1 mm (1.5 inches)
self tapping screws; the head diameter should be approximately 6 mm
(0.25 inches)
• for mounting on drywall: two 1.5 inch (35mm or 40mm) anchor bolts
Location
Always position the Wideband Modem:
• within 1.3 m (4 feet) 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 Wideband Modem on drywall, try to position the
Wideband Modem so at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud.
This may prevent the Wideband Modem from pulling out of the wall in
the future.
To prevent overheating your Wideband Modem, do not block the venti-
lation holes on the sides of the unit.
