Chapter 2. 

Installing the Modem 

2.1  Hardware Installation 

 

This chapter describes how to install the modem, and establish the network connections. The XL-GFC142SR may be 

installed  on  any  level  surface  (e.g.  a  table  or  shelf).  However,  please  take  note  of  the  following  minimum  site 

requirements before you begin. 

 

2.2  Pre-installation Requirements 

 

Before you start the actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including 

power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. 

 

Verify the following installation requirements: 

 

  Power requirements: 

DC 12 V / 2A or above 

  The modem should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 

10cm 

of space at the front and back for 

ventilation. 

  Place the modem away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic 

interference. 

  Check if the network cables and connectors needed for installation are available. 

  Do not install phone lines strapped together with AC power lines, or telephone office line with voice signal. 

  Avoid installing this device with radio amplifying stations nearby or transformer stations nearby.
