CHAPTER 3: Installation
3. Installation
Before installing the Plug and Play Phone Line Manager XLO, select an
appropriate location away from direct sources of heat or cold. The Plug and Play
Phone Line Manager XLO can be stacked on a desk or table, or mounted vertically
on a wall. Typically, the Plug and Play Phone Line Manager XLO is located in the
same area as other computer network or telephone equipment. All device and
power connections are made in the rear of the unit.
Do not connect lines to or
disconnect them from the Plug and Play Phone Line Manager XLO while power is on.
The 12 x 36 Phone Line Manager and 16 x 48 Phone Line Manager units
mount in a 19" rack. First, locate the four pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the
faceplate and front of the shelf. Align the faceplate holes with the shelf holes and
then insert the screws through the holes. Place the nylon insert nuts onto the back
of the screws. Tighten the screws until hand-tight. You can now mount the shelf in
a standard 19" rack using the supplied 10-32,
1
⁄
2
" long truss-head screws. Once the
shelf is mounted, you can place the Phone Line Manager units onto the shelf with
front panel LEDs facing forward or with the RJ-11 connectors facing forward for
patch-panel applications.
We have included both self-adhesive feet and an adhesive-backed hook & loop
fastener. The feet are useful when the unit will be resting on a flat surface. The
hook & loop fastener is useful when mounting the unit to a wall or other vertical
surface. You can also use the hook & loop fasteners to provide rackmount stability
between the two units in the 12 x 36 and 16 x 48 models. To use the hook & loop
fastener, keep the hook and loop halves together while peeling the plastic backing
from one side and stick it to one of the bottom corners of the unit. Repeat the
process for all four corners. Now peel the remaining plastic backing from the hook
and loop halves. Carefully line the Plug and Play Phone Line Manager XLO up
where you want to mount it and press the unit firmly to the mounting surface.
Once installed using the hook & loop fastener, the unit may be removed from the
mounting surface by grasping the unit and pulling firmly away from the mounting
surface. To remount, align the hook & loop halves together and press firmly
together.
