Mounting the Telephony Gateway

You can either mount the Telephony Gateway on a wall or place it on a desktop. For wall-

(vertical) or to the side (horizontal).

For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and materials before
proceeding:
for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4" (6mm) drywall anchors (not included), two #6 x 1.5"

(38.1 mm) self-tapping panhead screws (not included), and a drill with 1/4" (6mm) bit (not

Location

Always position the Telephony Gateway:
within reach of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet without stretching and

near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs).

Wall Mounting Instructions

Note: When mounting the Telephony Gateway on drywall, try to position the Telephony
Gateway so at least one of the screws is fastened to a stud. This may prevent the Telephony
Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future. To prevent overheating of the Telephony
Gateway, do not block the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit.
1. Position the mounting bracket on the surface where you intend to mount the Telephony
Gateway and mark the two holes with a pencil.
