Selecting a Site for the Network Extender

Observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your network extender:

❑If you plan to install the AT-MCR12 in an equipment rack, check to be sure that the rack is safely secured and that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices near the bottom of the rack.

❑If you are installing the network extender on a table, be sure that the table is level and secure.

❑The power outlet for the network extender should be located near the unit and should be easily accessible.

❑The site should provide for easy access to the ports on the front of the network extender. This will make it easy for you to connect and disconnect cables, as well as view the LEDs.

❑To allow proper cooling of the network extender, air flow around the unit and through its vents on the side should not be restricted.

❑Do not place objects on top of the network extender.

❑Do not expose the network extender to moisture or water.

❑Make sure that the site is a dust-free environment.

❑You should use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network extenders.
