How Do I Mount the Residential Gateway on a Wall? (Optional)
If you wish, you can mount the residential gateway to a wall. This section describes
how to mount the residential gateway to a wall, and includes a list of equipment you
will need along with suggestions for choosing an appropriate place to mount the
residential gateway.
Select an Appropriate Place to Mount the Residential Gateway
You may mount the residential gateway to a wall that is made of cement, wood, or
drywall. When choosing an appropriate mounting place, refer to the following
recommendations:
Ensure that the mounting location is free of obstructions on all sides, and the
cables should be able to easily reach the residential gateway without strain.
Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the residential gateway and any
flooring or shelving underneath to allow access to cabling.
Allow enough slack in all cables so that the residential gateway can be removed
for any required maintenance without disconnecting the cables.
Equipment Needed
Verify that you have the following items that you will need to mount the residential
gateway:
Two wall anchors for #8 x 1-inch screws
Two #8 x 1-inch pan head sheet metal screws
Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit, as appropriate for the wall
composition
