Introduction
The popularity and affordability of IP networking has driven audio/video and control networks to
share the same physical wiring with computer networks. However, computer data can tolerate
unpredictable latency in ways that audio-video streaming and control systems cannot.
Sophisticated systems require the same robustness as an enterprise network to ensure that IP-
based controls occur instantly and audio/video packets arrive in time.
Note: If this is your first time installing this product, please read this manual in its entirety.

Installing
For installation procedures, refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with the wireless router.
You can also visit the Dealer Portal on our website for all the current user manuals and quick
start guides.
Note: If you install the wireless router in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Make
sure you install the equipment somewhere within the recommended temperature range.
Ensure that the unit is physically mounted away from obstructions that could interfere with the
wireless signal, such as metal racks or other wireless transmitting electronic devices.
For free-standing installation, make sure that the wireless router has at least 1.5 in. (3.75 cm)
of clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.
