This article will show the user through the process of wall-mounting the Wireless Gateway
The Adapter has two wall-mount slots on its back panel.
Two screws are needed to mount the Adapter.
To do this:
1. Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy and use the 2 screw holes which are
101.6 mm apart from each other.
2. Fix the screws into wall, leaving their heads 3 mm (0.12 inch) clear of the wall surface.
3. Remove any connections to the unit and locate it over the screw heads. When in line, gently

What the Modem Does
The Wireless Voice Gateway provides high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective, toll-quality
telephone voice and fax/modem services over residential, commercial, and education subscribers on
public and private networks via an existing CATV infrastructure. It can inter-operate with the
Euro-PacketCable compliant head-end equipment and provide the IP-based voice communications. The
IP traffic can transfer between the Wireless Voice Gateway and Euro-DOCSIS compliant head-end
equipment. The data security secures upstream and downstream communications.

1. L ocate the Cable TV wire. You may find it one of three ways:
a. Connected directly to a TV, a Cable TV converter box, or VCR. The line will be connected to
the jack, which should be labeled either IN, CABLE IN, CATV, CATV IN, etc.
b. Connected to a wall-mounted cable outlet.
c. Coming out from under a baseboard heater or other location. See Figure 1 for the wiring
example.
Notes: For optimum performance, be sure to
connect your Wireless Voice Gateway to the first
point the cable enters your home. The splitter
must be rated for at least 1GHz.
