RT-3100 5-Port Single-WAN Gigabit Router User Guide
Introduction
The popularity and affordability of IP networking has driven audio/video and control networks
to share the same physical wiring with computer networks. However, computer data can
tolerate unpredictable latency in ways that audio/video streaming and control systems cannot.
Sophisticated systems require the same robustness as an enterprise network to ensure that IP-
based controls occur instantly and audio/video packets arrive in time.
Note: If this is your first time installing this product, please read this manual in its entirety.

Installing
For installation procedures, refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with the router or go to
pkdge.co/rt-3100-ug
. You can also visit the Dealer Portal for all the current manuals and
Quick Start Guides.
For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
Caution: If you install the router in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature.
Make sure you install the equipment somewhere within the recommended temperature
range.
For free-standing installation, make sure that the router has at least 1.5 in. (3.75 cm) of
clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.
