Installation

Ensure that the router is oriented in a manner that allows the LEDs to be visible.

2.Attach the assembly with the mounted router to the wall surface with four (provided) 6 x 1 inch Phillips pan head screws and hollow wall plastic anchors.

NOTE: The provided hollow wall anchors are not designed for installation in hard walls. These anchors should only be installed in a sheet rock (gypsum wall board) wall.

3.Fit the AC strap over the power supply and then place the power supply on the wall mount bracket within the four locating tabs.

4.Engage and tighten the AC strap captive screw to secure the power supply to the wall mount assembly.

5.Attach the cable retainer to the DC power cord behind the molded strain relief on the cable.

6.Insert the DC power cable jack into the 12 VDC port on the back of the router.

7.Engage and tighten the captive screw on the cable retainer in the threaded hole adjacent to the DC input jack on the router.

8.Connect the appropriate ends of the AC cord to the secured power supply and a 110/120 VAC outlet.

Rack-Mount Installation

To mount the AR1202 and AR1204 in an equipment rack, follow this procedure. Refer to Figure 3.10.

Figure 3.10 Rack Mounting the AR1202 and AR1204 Router

1.Determine the mounting position for the rack tray in the equipment rack (front or mid mount) and attach the mounting brackets using the four (provided) 6-32 x .250 inch flat head Phillips screws.

2.Attach the router to the carriage assembly using four (provided) Phillips pan head 4-40 x .250 inch screws.

3.Engage the carriage assembly in the rack tray rails and slide the assembly all the way in.

4.Fit the AC strap over the power supply and then place the power supply on the rack tray between the raised tab and the back edge of the tray.

5.Engage and tighten the AC strap captive screw to secure the power supply to the rack tray.

6.Attach the cable retainer bracket to the DC power cord behind the molded strain relief on the cable.

7.Insert the power cable jack into the 12 VDC port on the back of the router.
