Mounting
Permanent Mounting
When used in a stationary configuration, the MAP Gateway is permanently mounted using the
provided bracket with the stationary MAP Gateway. We recommend the following three ways to
mount the unit: vertically (upright and flush), horizontally (sideways and flush), or perpendicularly
(perpendicular to the wall). This flexibility allows the unit to be mounted in a way that minimizes
spacial constraints and maximizes placement options for optimal wireless signal strength.
The unit should be mounted in such a way that labels can be read if they are visible. (For example,
do not mount the unit upside down, which puts the labels upside down.)
Location Considerations
Observe the following guidelines when mounting the MAP Gateway:
• Mount the MAP Gateway in areas free of corrosive vapors and observe the environmental
limitations listed in the
section of this document.
• Objects (including ductwork, cabinets, doors, and glass) can impede the wireless signal.
Minimize the number of objects between the connected computer or mobile device computer,
and the MAP Gateway. Use line of sight, if possible.
• Metal objects (such as cabinet doors, enclosures, and pipes) and concrete objects (such
as pillars, walls, and ceilings) may limit Wi-Fi service. To accommodate potential structural
obstacles on site, the MAP Gateway can be mounted flush against the wall or perpendicular to
it.
• The MAP Gateway is not rated for outdoor mounting.
