Choose an installaon locaon
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a locaon to install your Data
Gateway:
■ Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be switched and
should be close enough to the Data Gateway that extension cords are not required.
■ Is a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of spliers between
the jack and cable drop to a minimum. Each splier aenuates (reduces) the signal
available to the Data Gateway. A large number of spliers can slow down your Internet
connecon.
