Mounting the Data Gateway

You can either mount the Data Gateway on a wall or place it on a desktop. For

wall-mount applications, you can mount the Data Gateway with the indicators

facing upward (vertical) or to the side (horizontal).

Tools and Materials

For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and mate-

rials before proceeding:

for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4” (6mm) drywall anchors (not included),

two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self-tapping panhead screws (not included), and

a drill with 1/4” (6mm) bit (not included)

for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self-tapping

panhead wood screws (not included)

screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you

use)

wall-mount template (included)

transparent tape: for temporarily securing the mounting template to the wall

(not included)

Location

Always position the Data Gateway:

within reach of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet without

stretching and without adding extension cords.

near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs).

Instructions

Wall-mounting instructions

Note:

When mounting the Data Gateway on drywall, try to position the Data

Gateway so at least one of the screws is fastened to a stud. This may

prevent the Data Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future. To

prevent overheating of the Data Gateway, do not block the ventilation

holes on the sides of the unit.
