Wall Mounting the Gateway
If you choose to mount the gateway on a wall, do the following before starting:
•
Locate the unit as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or
business cable TV and communications services.
•
Follow all local standards for installing a network interface unit/network interface
device (NIU/NID).
•
Make sure the AC power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet and all cables are
removed from the back of the gateway before starting the installation.
•
Decide if you are mounting the gateway horizontally or vertically.
Make sure you have the following items:
•
•
Applicable screwdriver: Phillips or flathead
•
Two M3.5 (#6) screws with a flat underside and maximum screw head diameter of
9.0 mm to mount the gateway.
Note
: Contact a qualified installer to determine the appropriate screw length needed
for mounting the gateway.
•
See the dimensioned view below for the spacing needed between the screw head
and wall:
9.0 mm (0.35”) maximum
screw head diameter
2.6 mm (0.10”) maximum
screw head thickness
2.5 mm (0.10”) minimum
screw head to wall spacing
Note
:
If possible, mount the gateway to concrete, masonry, a wooden stud, or some
other solid wall material. Use anchor bolts if necessary (for example, if you mount the
unit on drywall).
Before drilling holes in the wall, check the structure for potential damage to water,
gas, or electrical lines.
1.
Position and secure the wall mounting template on the wall to mark the holes.
2.
The hole depth shall be determined by the installer and the type of hardware
selected.
3.
After mounting the gateway, reconnect the coaxial and Ethernet (or USB) cables.
