INSTALLATION 2-3
2.4 Site Selection
Locate the TAINET Network Series Modem no farther than 50 feet (15.24 meters)
from your data terminal equipment (DTE) and within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of a
grounded AC outlet furnishing the required power.
Install the modem in a clean area that is free from environmental extremes. Allow at
least 6 inch (15.24 cm) in front of the modem for access to the front panel, and at
least 4 inch (10.2 cm) in back for cable clearance. Position the modem so you can
easily see the front panel. Do not stack the TAINET Network Series Modem on top of
another modem.
* CAUTION: To avoid overheating the TAINET Network Series Modem, do not place
anything within 1 inch (2.54 cm) of either side of the modem, and do not place the
modem on its side.
2.5 AC Electrical Outlet Connection
Check the label on the bottom of the modem for the unit's power requirements. Once
you are certain the power requirements specified on the label match those of your
electrical outlet, plug the power cable into the outlet.
Once the TAINET Network Series Modem is installed as described in the previous
sections, you may turn the power on. The modem performs a self-test before the
TAINET Network Series Modem greeting message appears on the liquid crystal
display (LCD) on the modem front panel.
