Wall Mounting the u4g
The Calix GigaSpire BLAST u4g can be wall mounted. Keep the following information in
mind when considering wall mounting:
Locate the BLAST on the wall in a location that is unlikely to be bumped or jostled.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable(s) (if used) and power supply wiring attached to the
GigaSpire are secured properly and out of harms way.
Note:
Once the GigaSpire is connected and turned up, Wi-Fi network parameters are
persisted in memory. For this reason, if power is lost to the GigaSpire, it will be re-
discovered on the network automatically, without operator intervention.
To wall mount the GigaSpire BLAST u4g
1.
Find a suitable location for attaching the unit to the wall. Be mindful of the power source
and Ethernet cable requirements when determining a mounting location.
2.
Using the template included in the back of this guide, mark the two screw locations on
the wall, making sure the device will remain level after mounting.
Note:
If attaching to sheet rock or gypsum board, Calix recommends using a wall
anchoring system to ensure the bracket is securely attached to the wall. For wood
attachment, wall anchors are not required.
3.
Drill holes in the wall and install appropriate wall anchors if required.
4.
Thread the screws into the wall anchors and tighten leaving a gap of about 1/8" between
the screw head and the back of the unit. This allow you to slip the u4g over the mounting
screws and pulling down to secure it to the wall.
