The Powerline MU Gateway can be placed on a stable shelf or table, wall mounted, or installed in a standard 19” equipment rack.

Once installed, connect the power cord to an available receptacle.

5.3INSTALLATION

Have a qualified electrician install power outlets for the Gateway and other devices in your design.

Using the 3-foot (.9 meter) capacitive injection cords (included), plug Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III into the corresponding outlets that were installed by the electrician. The cords are power cords, but they do not draw electricity.

5.3.1Mount the Gateway

Connect the Gateway(s) in the proposed location(s) and connect to the network.

The Gateway can be set on a stable shelf or table. It is also designed to mount in a standard 19” rack. Simply attach the brackets and mount, using rack screws for your particular rack. The Gateway can also be flush mounted against a wall, either into a wood wall or on a plywood or solid wood backboard. If mounted in dry wall or plaster, use the wall anchors supplied with the Gateway.

Plug the Gateway into an available AC outlet. Turn the Power Switch on the back of the Gateway to ON.

Using a modem and your laptop computer, test connectivity and connection speed in a sampling of the offices or apartments where connection to the Internet is desired. Connect to the modem directly and use the Powerline scan feature.

If you have rooms that have a weak signal or no signal, verify that those rooms are connected to the same area as the Gateway. Repeat this process for each proposed Gateway location if the design has multiple Gateways. If there are areas with little or no coverage you will need to modify your Powerline MU design layout.
