Fastening the Plywood Mounting Surface to a Wall and Preparing the
Gateway
For an indoor installation, the AT-iMG646xx series intelligent multiservice
gateway must be mounted on a plywood surface that complies with the
following specifications:
ˆ Recommended minimum size of 20 in. by 20 in. (51 cm by 51 cm)
ˆ Recommended minimum thickness of .5 in. (1.2 cm)
ˆ Rated for indoor used. (Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is not
recommended.)
To fasten the plywood to the wall, perform the following procedure:
1. Select a reasonably flat wall location
2. Using a 3/16 in. (4.5 mm) wood or metal drill bit, drill a hole through
each corner of the plywood, approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the
edge.
3. Using the plywood as a template, mark the location for the holes on
the wall.
4. Using a 3/16 in. (4.5 cm) masonry drill bit, drill the four holes in the wall
to 1 in. (2.5 cm) deep.
5. Install the anchors and drive the long pan head self-tapping screws
into the wall anchors to secure the plywood to the wall, as shown in
Figure 46.
