Selecting the router location

Select a location for the router that will accommodate all required cable connections, including the power source. Place the router in the desired location.

CAUTION

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

Leave 6 inches of space around the top and sides of the router to ensure ventilation and prevent overheating.

Connecting the power supply

Begin installation of the router by connecting the correct power supply. Use the power supply shipped with the router. Refer to Table 2 and Figures 4 and 5 to ensure you have the correct power supply type (AC/DC or DC/DC) for the unit.

CAUTION

Always use the power supply provided with the system. The HN router’s performance may suffer if the wrong power supply is used.

If the HN router is installed outside the United States or Canada, observe the power standards and requirements of the country where it is installed.
