Installing the Repeater

This chapter explains how to mount the repeater, attach cables, and interconnect the repeater to a second repeater.

Mounting the Repeater

You can place the repeater on a level surface (table top or shelf, for example) or mount it in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

Attaching the Rubber Feet

If you will place the repeater on a table top or shelf, attach the supplied adhesive-backed rubber feet as described in the following steps.

1.Turn the repeater over so that its bottom side faces up.

2.Remove the four rubber feet from their packaging.

3.Peel the protective paper backing off the rubber feet. Then position the feet in the recessed areas near the corners of the repeater and press the feet into place.

4.Turn the repeater to its upright position and place it on the mounting surface.

NOTE: Be sure you allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) on each side of the repeater for proper air flow.
