Overview

The Device is a VDSL2 bonding integrated access device (IAD) with a

four-port built-in Ethernet switch and IEEE 802.11ac wireless. The

Device allows wired and wireless clients to safely access the Internet.

Wall Mounting

The following are dimensions of a screw anchor and M4 tap screw used

for wall mounting. All measurements are in millimeters (mm).

1. Locate a high position on a wall that is free of obstructions. Use a

sturdy wall.

2. For a concrete or brick wall find a drill bit with the same diameter as

the screw anchors. If you do not need the screw anchors, find a drill

bit slightly smaller in diameter than the included screws.

3. Drill the two screw holes in the wall. Make sure the distance between

the centers of the holes is the same as the wall-mount holes.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the

wall when drilling holes for the screws.
