Mounting the Telephony Modem
You can either mount the Telephony Modem on a wall or place it on a desktop. For
wall-mount applications, you can mount the Telephony Modem with the indicators
facing upward (vertical) or to the size (horizontal).
Tools and Materials
For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and mate-
rials before proceeding:
•
for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4" (6mm) drywall anchors and a drill with
1/4" (6mm) bit
•
for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 x 1.5" (38.1 mm) self tapping
screws (included); the head diameter should be approximately 1/4" (6 mm)
and a drill with a 1/8" (3mm) bit
•
screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you
use)
•
wall-mount template (included with the Telephony Modem Quick Installation
Guide)
•
transparent tape (for temporarily securing the mounting template to the
wall)
Location
Always position the Telephony Modem:
•
within 4 feet (1.3 m) of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet
without stretching and without adding extension cords.
•
near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs).

Usage
When mounting the Telephony Modem on drywall, try to position the Te-
lephony Modem so at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud. This
may prevent the Telephony Modem from pulling out of the wall in the fu-
ture.
To prevent overheating your Cable Modem, do not block the ventilation
holes on the sides of the unit.
