3.6 Mounting the Cabinet
The Boxer cabinet is typically mounted outdoors, above
ground, on an H‐frame or wall. Optional mounting kits are
available to support a round pole (from 8” to 20” in diameter)
or a square pedestal or post (minimum 8” wide). All mounting
hardware (not provided) must be capable of supporting the
weight of the Boxer cabinet (approximately 20 pounds) plus
the weight of any equipment mounted in it. Run all cables to the
mounting location, perform any trenching, trench cable place
ments, and backfilling prior to the cabinet mounting, and clear
the installation area of any debris, vegetation, and unneeded
equipment or obstacles.
‐ MOUNTING EAR ADJUSTMENT NOTE ‐
The Boxer cabinet is shipped with the ears rotated 180 degrees so the
ears' inside right‐angle corner abuts the cabinet's top‐rear wall corner,
to protect the ears during transport. Prior to
mounting the cabinet, unscrew the bolts that
secure the ears to the cabinet, rotate the
ears 180 degrees so that the flange with
the oblong holes faces away from the
cabinet, then re‐attach and tighten
the ear mounting bolts.
‐ WEIGHT NOTE ‐
The Boxer cabinet weighs 20 pounds. The weight of the internal
equipment installed in the Boxer should not exceed 25 pounds.
The mounting surface, structure, and hardware must be able to
support the combined weight (45 pounds).
3.6.1 Mounting on an H‐Frame
Follow the steps below to mount the Boxer cabinet on an H‐
frame. See Figure 9 for an H‐frame mounting drawing. If the
installation includes the battery box, attach the battery box to the
cabinet prior to mounting to the H‐Frame.
1. Determine exact mounting location in H‐frame. Select and
mark the exact horizontal and vertical final mounting loca
tion within the H‐frame. The spacing between the top and
bottom horizontal rail mounting holes should be 25.18”
(on centers, see Figure 5). Westell recommends a height
of 30” from the ground. In addition to allowing for a com
fortable installer working height, leave adequate space
under Boxer for cable access (or an optional battery box),
as stated in Paragraph 3.3, as well as in front of the mount
ing to allow the door to open (see Figure 4), and at the
sides in the event of any multiple installations.
2. Remove knock‐outs. See the steps in Paragraph 3.5 (Re
moving the Knock‐outs) to remove the knock‐outs where
any cable access holes (or holes for mounting the optional
battery box) are desired.
3. Prepare the mounting hardware. Bring the appropriate
mounting hardware to the installation site. The hardware
must be capable of supporting the weight of the cabinet
plus the weight of the added internal equipment. Insert all
rail nuts into the channel (compress the spring on the nuts
as needed) and slide them over to the marked mounting
location.
4. Lift cabinet. Lift the cabinet to the mounting height.
5. Attach cabinet to H‐frame rails. Align the holes in the cabi
net's top mounting bracket with the holes in the inserted
rail nuts in the H‐frame, then insert and install an ap
propriate bolt through each set of aligned holes. Tighten
appropriately. Repeat for the bottom mounting bracket
and H‐frame rail. Verify the cabinet is in the proper hori
zontal position, make any needed adjustments, then
securely tighten all mounting hardware.
6. Test installation firmness. Test the installation by attempt
ing to move the cabinet. Correct any looseness, if
detected.
7. Determine next step. If ground, power, and communica
tions cables and internal equipment will not be connected
and mounted at this time, proceed to the next step to final
ize the cabinet installation. If ground, power, and
communications cables and internal equipment will be
connected, mounted, and powered‐up at this time, skip
the next step and proceed to Paragraphs 3.7 through Para
graph 3.11 for those procedures.
8. Close up cabinet and clean the site. If not already closed,
close the Boxer door, and lock it using a can wrench or 216
tool and an optional padlock. Pick up any tools and materi
als at the installation site, and clean the site of any trash or
debris.
3.6.2 Mounting on a Round Pole or Post
Order the optional pole/pedestal mounting kit (listed in
Table 3) for details on mounting the Boxer cabinet on a round
post or pole.
3.6.3 Mounting on a Wall
Follow the steps below to mount the Boxer cabinet to an ap
proved wall (Figure 10). The approved wall must be capable of
supporting the combined weight of the cabinet, the equipment
mounted inside the cabinet, plus the optional battery box (and
batteries), if installed. Westell recommends a minimum instal
lation height of 30” from the ground. See Figure 5 and

desired wall height.
5. Drill top mounting holes. Drill appropriately‐sized pilot
holes, slightly smaller than the width and depth of the
mounting bolts, screws or fasteners, at the marked loca
tion. Do not drill the holes too large.
6. Partially install bolts. Partially install the bolts until only
1/2” remains.
7. Lift cabinet, and align mounting holes. Lift the cabinet to
the partially installed bolts, align the top bracket keyholes
with the bolts, then hang the cabinet from the bolts.
8. Fully install the top mounting bolts. Verify the cabinet is
level. Finish driving the top mounting bolts until they are
snug and the cabinet is flush and tight against the wall.
Manually test the bolt tightness to verify the bolts will sup
port the cabinet weight before the next step. Correct any
level or mounting bolt discrepancies.
9. Mark and drill bottom mounting holes. Mark the exact
locations for the bottom bracket's mounting bolts through
the predrilled slotted holes in the bottom mounting brack
et. Drill appropriately‐sized pilot holes, slightly smaller
than the width and depth of the bolts, at the marked loca
tions. Do not drill the holes too large.
10. Install bottom mounting bolts. Insert and drive all bottom
bolts completely in to their final seated position. Finish
the installation by verifying all bolts are firm and snug.
