connections to computers in both horizontal and vertical directions, 
allowing wider coverage.

When positioning your Gateway, ensure:

■

It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

■

Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and 
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband 
amplifiers.

■

Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

■

Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case 
is not restricted. 3Com recommends you provide a minimum of 
25 mm (1 in.) clearance.

Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Gateway from 
moving around on your desk or when stacking with other flat top 
OfficeConnect units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at each 
corner of the underside of your Gateway.

There are two slots on the underside of the Gateway that can be used for 
wall mounting. 

You will need two suitable screws to wall mount the unit. To do this:

1 Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy and make two 

screw holes which are 150 mm (5.9 in.) apart.

2 Fix the screws into the wall, leaving their heads 3 mm (0.12 in.) clear of 

the wall surface.

3 Remove any connections to the unit and locate it over the screw heads. 

When in line, gently push the unit on to the wall and move it downwards 
to secure.
