Location and Mounting Requirements
There are two ways of mounting the Cisco VG202 and Cisco VG204 voice gateways:
•
Wall mounting
•
Desktop mounting
Whether wall or desktop, the mounting location must provide the following:
•
Access to the chassis
•
Access to a suitable power source
•
Access to an appropriate earth ground
•
Allowance for adequate heat dissipation and airflow around the chassis
Temperature Control and Ventilation
The installation area (room, closet, or cabinet) for the Cisco VG202 and Cisco VG204 voice gateways
should always be well ventilated and should provide adequate air circulation to ensure proper cooling.
The room temperature should be maintained from 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).
Wall Mounting
If the Cisco VG202 and Cisco VG204 voice gateways are installed on a wall, there should be plenty of
space on both sides to ensure that there is adequate airflow through the chassis.
