Chapter 5: Installing the Gateway Indoors
74 Section II: Indoor Installation
Fastening the Plywood Mounting Surface to a Wall and Preparing the
Gateway
For an indoor installation, the AT-iMG646xx series intelligent multiservice
gateway must be mounted on a plywood surface that complies with the
following specifications:
Recommended minimum size of 20 in. by 20 in. (51 cm by 51 cm)
Recommended minimum thickness of .5 in. (1.2 cm)
Rated for indoor used. (Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is not
recommended.)
To fasten the plywood to the wall, perform the following procedure:
1. Select a reasonably flat wall location
2. Using a 3/16 in. (4.5 mm) wood or metal drill bit, drill a hole through
each corner of the plywood, approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the
edge.
3. Using the plywood as a template, mark the location for the holes on
the wall.
4. Using a 3/16 in. (4.5 cm) masonry drill bit, drill the four holes in the wall
to 1 in. (2.5 cm) deep.
5. Install the anchors and drive the long pan head self-tapping screws
into the wall anchors to secure the plywood to the wall, as shown in
Figure 46.
