Arris touchstone TM1602 - Mounting the Telephony Modem

Mounting the Telephony Modem
You can either mount the Telephony Modem on a wall or place it on a desktop. For
wall-mount applications, you can mount the Telephony Modem with the indicators
facing upward (vertical) or to the side (horizontal).
Tools and Materials
For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and mate-
rials before proceeding:
• for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4” (6mm) drywall anchors (not included),
two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self-tapping panhead screws (not included), and
a drill with 1/4” (6mm) bit (not included)
• for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self-tapping
panhead wood screws (not included)
• screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you
use)
Location
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your
Telephony Modem:
• Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be
switched and should be close enough that exten sion cords are not required.
• Is a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of split-
ters between the jack and cable drop to a minimum. Each splitter attenuates
(re duces) the signal available to the Telephony Modem.
• Can you easily run cables between the Telephony Modem’s location and the
phones?
• If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet port, can you easily run ca bles
between the Telephony Modem’s location and the device?
