Select an Appropriate Place to Mount the Wireless Residential Voice 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.
Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the residential

gateway.
