Select an Appropriate Place to Mount the Wireless Residential Voice Gateway
You may mount the residential gateway to a wall that is made of cement, wood, or
drywall. When choosing an appropriate mounting place, refer to the following
recommendations:

cables should be able to easily reach the residential gateway without strain.

Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the residential gateway and any
flooring or shelving underneath to allow access to cabling.

Allow enough slack in all cables so that the residential gateway can be removed
for any required maintenance without disconnecting the cables.

Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the residential
gateway.
