MOUNTING (HARDWARE INSTALLATION)
The Rohde & Schwarz Topex S.A. MobiLinkIP gateway may be mounted either horizontally,
by means of simply placing it on a flat surface, or vertically on a wall (using the mounting kit).
Horizontal mounting
The surface must be level and strong enough to hold the weight of MobiLink IP together with
all its cables (power supply and wired LAN connection). A desk, table or shelf is good place
for the installation of MobiLink IP.
Wall mounting
The equipment may also be mounted on a wall, by means of the kit included in the package.
It is recommended secure the device to the wall. Use professional installation to reduce the
risk of injury and damage. The mobile antenna must be in an upright vertical position, but it
will be parallel to the equipment’s box.
For mounting MobiLink IP onto a wall, use the mounting kit (plastic dowels, woodscrews, etc)
provided by Rohde & Schwarz Topex S.A.
On the back there are two pairs of mounting holes, 160 mm apart. The two pairs are located
100 mm from another, to secure the MobiLink IP to the wall with either connectors up or
indicators up.
Perform the following steps:
-
mark the position of a pair of holes on the
wall, spaced at 55 mm apart
-
drill the holes in the wall
-
insert the plastic dowels into the holes
-
thread the metallic woodscrews into the
plastic dowels leaving the end to protrude
outside for some 5 mm
-
hang the case of the MobiLinkIP in the two
metallic woodscrews and push it down a
little to get it fixed
-
if it does not lock properly, adjust the
screws
Figure 1. Mounting MobiLinkIP on a wall
No matter if it is installed horizontally or vertically, the best location for MobiLinkIP is in the
middle of the location where wireless coverage is needed.
Installing MobiLinkIP on a shelf higher up, with no obstructions around, ensures the best
performance embedded GSM or 3G modems.
Take care to ensure adequate cooling of the MobiLinkIP terminal.
