Placement Tips
Make sure that you install the SRP in a location that meets these
environmental conditions:
•StorageTemperature(sea level) -22° F to 140° F (-30° C to +60° C)
•OperatingTemperature(sea level) 32° F to 104° F (0° C to 40° C)
• Relative Humidity (sea level) 5 to 95% RH (non-condensing)
CAUTION Do not stack or place anything on top of the SRP, or install it on
a hot surface.
Desk Placement
To mount the SRP on a desktop, place the device on a flat surface so it sits
on its four rubber feet.
Wall Mounting
When mounting the SRP horizontally, position it so that the back panel
faces upward. This reduces strain on the cable connections. When
mounting it vertically, position the SRP so the USB ports face downward.
STEP 1Secure two number-six pan-head tapping screws, 3/4-inch (19 mm)
in length, 150 mm apart into a wall for horizontal orientation or
108 mm for vertical orientation, with the space between the
underside of each screw head and the surface of the wall equal to
5/32 inch (4mm).
CAUTION For drywall installation, secure the screws by using two
hollow-wall anchors (1/8 inch with 5/16-inch drill bit, or M3
with 8-mm drill bit). Without proper anchoring, the strain of
the network cable connections could pull the SRP from
the wall.
STEP 2Locate the mounting screw slots on the bottom of the SRP, and
then hang it on the screws.

Connecting the Equipment
STEP 1For Ethernet WAN connections, connect one end of the Ethernet
cable to your Internet access device (typically a modem), and
connect the other end of the cable to the WAN port.
For ADSL connections, connect your DSL cable directly to the DSL
port on your SRP526W-U or SRP527W-U. If required by your
Service Provider, make sure that you use an ADSL splitter.

STEP 2Connect wired computers and other network devices to the LAN
ports (1–4).
STEP 3(Optional) Connect an analog telephone, fax machine, or similar
device to the Phone (FXS) ports. Then connect the Line (FXO) ports
to the telephone line wall socket port(s).
STEP 4Connect the plug adaptor provided for your region to the power
supply. Only use the power adapter that was provided with the
unit.
STEP 5Connect the power adapter to the 12V DC port on your SRP.
