Chapter 3 Router and PoE Module Mounting Procedures
Mounting on a Wall
Perform the following steps to mount the router on a wall:
Step 1
Select a location on the wall on which you wish to mount the router. Using
Figure 3-1
as a reference,
draw a horizontal line measuring 6.69 in. (17.0 cm) long.
Step 2
Make sure that the horizontal line is level. Drill two holes for the mounting screws, one at each end of
the line. Use the drill bit size that is specified by the screw or hollow-wall anchor manufacturer.
Step 3
Measure 3.345 in. (8.5 cm) from either one of the screw holes to determine the midpoint between the
two top mounting screws.
Step 4
From the midpoint, measure a vertical distance of 5.55 in. (14.1 cm) to determine the location for the
bottom mounting screw, and then drill a hole.
Step 5
Anchor the screws into the wall, leaving 1/8 in. (0.32 cm) between the screw head and the wall for
mounting the router.
Step 6
Hang the router on the screws as shown in
Figure 3-2
. Secure the screws into the latches of the mounting
brackets.
Step 7
Place the power adapter on a horizontal surface. (See
Figure 3-2
.)
Mounting the PoE Module on a Wall
The PoE module can be mounted on a wall near the router.
Figure 3-3
shows the location of the mounting
brackets on the bottom panel of the PoE module.
