Assembling the components, modem installation method

Follow the steps below and refer to the illustrations on page 13 through page 16 to assemble the DW4020 components. Note that some cables are connected to the installer laptop until commissioning is complete. Then the DW4020 is connected to the customer’s computer.

Before beginning the installation, be sure that you have installed the installation software correctly. See Installing the software on page 9. In addition, confirm that DHCP is enabled to accept IP addresses automatically on your installer laptop PC. See Appendix D – on page 113.

CAUTION

•The components must be stacked in this order: Gateway on bottom; transmit modem on top of Gateway; receive modem on top of transmit modem. See Figure 10.

•If the components are not stacked in the proper order, the receive modem may overheat and malfunction.

•Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, ovens, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

•Recommended ventilation space around the top and sides of the DW4020 assembly should be approximately 6 inches. Ventilation is necessary to avoid overheating.

1.Be sure the power supply is not plugged into a wall outlet, surge protector, or power strip.

2.Lay two of the four clips on a table and mount the components as shown in Figure 8. Mount the Gateway first, then the transmit modem, then the receive modem.

3.Turn the component stack right side up and install the other two clips as shown in Figure 9.

Note: The Gateway and the transmit modem have a hole at the center of each of their four feet. There is a tab on the bottom of each mounting clip, which snaps into place on the Gateway when properly aligned over the hole.There is also a tab in the middle of each mounting clip, which snaps into place on the transmit modem when properly aligned over the hole.

4.Double-check that the components are installed in this order from top to bottom: receive modem, transmit modem, Gateway. See Figure 10.
