Installing the mounting bracket with screws

Use this installation method if the installation surface is a sturdy, dense material such as sheet metal, plywood, or hard wood.

1.Insert the mounting bracket into the opening in the wall and hold it firmly in place.

2.Mark the locations of the outermost/corner bracket holes on the installation surface.

3.If desired, remove the mounting bracket and drill ¼” deep pilot holes (half the width of the shaft of the screw) at the marked locations.

Setting bottom and top panel switches

Because the top and bottom panels on all models will be inaccessible after installation, the DIP and jumper switches must be set before the interface is installed into the wall, furniture or raceway. Use the switch explanations to help you configure these switches.

Set the DIP switches to either On (closed) or Off (open) to select the desired function as described in the features section.

The DIP switches may be either the rocking type or the sliding type.

To set rocking-type DIP switches, use a small
