Wall Mounting the Modem
If you choose to mount the wireless modem on a wall, do the following before starting:
•Locate the unit as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or business cable TV and communications services.
•Follow all local standards for installing a network interface unit/network interface device (NIU/NID).
•Disconnect the AC power plug is from the wall outlet and verify that all cables are removed from the back of the modem before starting the installation.
•Decide if you are mounting the modem horizontally or vertically.
•Gather the following items:
Applicable screwdriver: Phillips or flathead
Two M3.5 (#6) screws with a flat underside and maximum screw head diameter of 9.0 mm to mount the gateway.
Note: Contact a qualified installer to determine the appropriate screw length needed for mounting the gateway.
See the dimensioned view below for the spacing needed between the screw head and wall:
2.6 mm (0.10”) maximum screw head thickness
9.0 mm (0.35”) maximum screw head diameter
2.5 mm (0.10”) minimum screw head to wall spacing
Note: If possible, mount the modem to concrete, masonry, a wooden stud, or some other solid wall material. Use anchor bolts if necessary (for example, if you mount the unit on drywall).
