The Modem should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10cm/4in of space 
at the front and back for ventilation. 
Place the Modem out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with 
a high amount of electromagnetic interference. 
Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available 
 

Avoid to use any telephony ribbon cables. 
Avoid to use any low diameter cables.  
Recommended is at least AWG26, better AWG24. 
 
MEG101AE-R4 is not capable of doing PoE PSE or PD. You may connect PoE 
devices, but they will not be powered.
