Make sure you have the following items before proceeding. Call your cable company for assistance if anything is missing. Data Gateway Power Cord Wall-Mounting Bracket Wireless Connection Conguration Guide Ethernet Cable End User License Agreement Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 8 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Coax Cable Items You Need If you are installing the Data Gateway yourself, make sure you have the follow ing items on hand before continuing:
Data Gateway package: see Whats in the Box? for a list of items in the package. Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a round cable with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to con-
nect to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics retailer and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both ends. There are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-
on connectors are best for use with your Data Gateway. The coax should be long enough to reach from your Data Gateway to the nearest cable outlet. Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and min-
imize or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Data Gateway. Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a sin-
gle outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already con-
nected to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from any electronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a short piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to the cable outlet and then connect the Data Gateway and TV to the splitter. Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its two outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality of your television, telephone, and/or internet connection. Wall-mount hardware (optional): if you want to wall-mount your Data Gateway, you need to obtain two drywall anchors or wood screws. Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packet containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this in-
formation carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-
tions. Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 9 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Getting Service Before trying to use your new Data Gateway, contact your local cable company to establish an Internet account and telephone service. When you call, have the fol-
lowing information ready:
the Data Gateway serial number and cable MAC addresses of the unit
(printed on a sticker on the bottom of the Data Gateway) the model number of the Data Gateway If the Data Gateway was provided by your cable company, they already have the required information. In addition, you should ask your cable company the following questions:
Do you have any special system requirements or les that I need to down-
load after I am connected?
When can I start using my Data Gateway?
Do I need a user ID or password to access the Internet or my e-mail?
Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 10 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet System Requirements The Touchstone Data Gateway operates with most computers. The following de-
scribes requirements for each operating system; see the documentation for your system for details on enabling and conguring networking. To use the Data Gateway, you need DOCSIS high-speed Internet service from your cable company. Recommended Hardware The following hardware conguration is recommended. Computers not meeting this conguration can still work with the DG1660, but may not be able to make maxi-
mum use of DG1660 throughput. CPU: P4, 3GHz or faster RAM: 1GB or greater Hard drive: 7200 RPM or faster Ethernet: Gig-E (1000BaseT) Windows Windows XP , Windows Vista, or Windows 7. A supported Ethernet or wireless LAN connection must be available. MacOS System 7.5 to MacOS 9.2 (Open Transport recommended) or MacOS X. A supported Ethernet or wireless LAN connection must be available. Linux/other Unix Hardware drivers, TCP/IP, and DHCP must be enabled in the kernel. A supported Ethernet or wireless LAN connection must be available. Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 11 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Model Number This manual covers the Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway. The model number is on the label afxed to the Data Gateway. See the image at the left. About this Manual What About Security?
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain amount of responsibility to other Internet usersincluding the need to maintain a reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-
lowing tips to enhance your systems security:
Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Run the system update utility at least weekly. Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addi-
tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening les sent through chat rooms, whenever possible. Install a virus checker and keep it updated. Avoid providing web or le-sharing services over your Data Gateway. Be-
sides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit run ning servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for vi-
olating your terms of service. Use the cable companys mail servers for sending email. Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-
nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when break-
ing into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your ca ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the net-
work. The DG1660 ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same reasons that you should run only secured proxies). See the security label on your product (shown on image at the left) for the factory security settings. If you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see Conguring Your Wireless Connection. Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 12 Security Label Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Ethernet Cable Ethernet or Wireless?
There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Data Gateway. The following will help you decide which is best for you:
Ethernet Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local Area Network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-in Ethernet hardware. Note:
To connect more than four computers to the DG1660 through the Ether -
net ports, you need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retail ers). The Data Gateway package comes with one 6-foot (1.9m) Ethernet cable (the con-
nectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if nec-
essary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Data Gateway di rectly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub with a cross-over switch, ask for Category 5e
(CAT5e) straight-through cable. CAT5e cable is required for gigabit Ethernet (Gig-
E), not regular CAT5 cable. Wireless Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to Data Gate-
way. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to access the DG1660 using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition to the connections supported via Ethernet. You can use the wireless connection if your computer has a built-in or af-
termarket wireless card. To learn more about which wireless hardware works best with your com puter, see your computer dealer. Note:
Both If you have two or more computers, you can use Ethernet for up to four devices and wireless for the others. To connect ve or more computers to the Ethernet ports, you will need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers.) Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 13 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Installing and Connecting Your Data Gateway Before you start, make sure that:
You have contacted your cable company and veried that they provide data and telephone service using standard DOCSIS technology. You have all the items you need. Cable and power outlets are available near the computer. If a cable outlet is not conveniently located, your cable company can install a new one. If you have ordered service, your cable company should congure the Data Gate-
way automatically. You need only follow the instructions in this section to install and connect the Data Gateway. Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 14 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Front Panel The front of the Data Gateway has the following indicators:
A WPS Button/LED: begins associating the Telelphony Gateway with a wire-
less device. LED indicates Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) is active. B Power: indicates whether AC power is available to the unit. C US/DS: indicates upstream/downstream connectivity. D Online: indicates internet data transmission status. E 2.4 GHz: indicates the status of the 2.4 GHz wireless LAN. F 5 GHz: indicates the status of the 5 GHz wireless LAN. A C E B D F DG1660 Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 15 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Rear Panel The rear of the Data Gateway has the following connectors and controls:
A Reset button: resets the Data Gateway as if you power cycled the unit. Use a pointed non-metallic object to press this button. B USB: USB host connector - future support for external USB devices C Ethernet (1 - 4): connectors for use with a computer LAN port. D Cable: connector for the coaxial cable. E Power: connector for the power cord. Reset USB 1 2 3 4 Ethernet 10/100/1000 Cable B D A C E Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 16 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Selecting an Installation Location There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location 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 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 Data Gateway. A large number of split-
ters can slow down the Internet connection. If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run ca-
bles between the Data Gateways location and those devices?
If you want to mount the Data Gateway on a wall, does the location pro vide a solid surface for secure attachment? For best results when mounting the Data Gateway on drywall, position the Data Gateway so at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud. This may prevent the Data Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future. If you want to install the Data Gateway on a desktop, is there enough space on either side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause over-
heating. How close are your wireless devices? The Data Gateway wireless con nection range is typically 100200 feet (30m65m). A number of factors can affect connection range, as described below. Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 17 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Factors Affecting Wireless Range A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections. Increases range:
Raising the unit above the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Data Gateway in the upper oor of a multi-
story dwelling) Decreases range:
Lowering the unit below the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Data Gateway in a basement) Metal or concrete walls between the Data Gateway and other devices Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets between the Data Gateway and other devices Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones, microwave ovens, or other wireless networks) Note:
Note that decreasing the range of your wireless network may be bene-
cial, as long as the decreased range is sufcient for your needs. By lim-
iting your networks range, you reduce interference with other networks and make it harder for unwant ed users to nd and connect to your net-
work. Note:
Setting the trasmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it to Medium or Low decreases the range proportionately. Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 18 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Mounting the Data Gateway You can either mount the Data Gateway on a wall or place it on a desktop. For wall-mount applications, you can mount the Data Gateway 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 (at-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you use) wall-mount bracket (included) Location Always position the Data Gateway:
within reach of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet without stretching and without adding extension cords. near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs). Instructions Wall-mounting instructions Note:
When mounting the Data Gateway on drywall, try to position the Data Gateway so at least one of the screws is fastened to a stud. This may prevent the Data Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future. To prevent overheating of the Data Gateway, do not block the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit. Touchstone DG1660 Data Gateway Users Guide 19 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet 1 Position the mounting bracket on the surface where you intend to mount the Data Gateway and mark the two holes with a pencil. 2 Drill holes through the marked locations for the mounting screws. 3 If using drywall anchors, set them into the wall. Then, drive the screws into the wall leaving a gap of about 1/8 (3 mm) between the screw head and the wall. If not using anchors, just drive the screws. 4 Slip both mounting slots in the back of the mounting bracket over the screws, then slide the bracket down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot contacts the screw shaft. 5 Hang the Data Gateway on the wall by inserting the six tabs on the mount-
ing bracket into the six slots in the back of the Data Gateway and sliding the Data Gateway down until it drops in place on the bracket. 6 Proceed to Connecting the Data Gateway. Desktop mounting instructions 1 Position the Data Gateway so that:

rect connection to a computer; use a cross-over cable for connection to a hub. Press the Reset button on the back of the Data Gateway. A misconguration could lock out all access to the Data Gateway router. If you think this has happened, see Resetting the Router to Factory Defaults. Im not getting on the Internet. (Wireless) Check the indicator lights (see Using the Data Gateway) the WiFi light should be on. Does your connection utility discover your wireless LAN? If you turned off Broadcast SSID you need to manually enter the name of your wireless LAN in the connection utility. Change your security mode to WEP or disabled. If you use disabled, enable one of the other security modes as soon as you nd the problem. A misconguration could lock out all access to the Data Gateway router. If you think this has happened, see Resetting the Router to Factory Defaults. My wireless Internet connection stops working sometimes. This is usually caused by interference two common sources are 2.4GHz remote telephones and microwave ovens. If you cannot remove the inter-
fering product, try using a different channel or setting Protected Mode. I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow. If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trou-
ble servicing all the requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few minutes and try again. Usage during peak hours may also affect the con nec-
tion speed. Other communications on the LAN, or interference with wireless connec-
tions, may slow down your connection.

Data Gateway package: see Whats in the Box? for a list of items in the package. Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a round cable with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to con-
nect to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics retailer and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both ends. There are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-
on connectors are best for use with your Data Gateway. The coax should be long enough to reach from your Data Gateway to the nearest cable outlet. Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and min-
imize or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Data Gateway. Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a sin-
gle outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already con-
nected to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from any electronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a short piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to the cable outlet and then connect the Data Gateway and TV to the splitter. Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its two outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality of your television, telephone, and/or internet connection. Wall-mount hardware (optional): if you want to wall-mount your Data Gateway, you need to obtain two drywall anchors or wood screws. Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packet containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this in-
formation carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-

Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 10 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet System Requirements The Touchstone Data Gateway operates with most computers. The following de-
scribes requirements for each operating system; see the documentation for your system for details on enabling and conguring networking. To use the Data Gateway, you need DOCSIS high-speed Internet service from your cable company. Recommended Hardware The following hardware conguration is recommended. Computers not meeting this conguration can still work with the DG1670, but may not be able to make maxi-
mum use of DG1670 throughput. CPU: P4, 3GHz or faster RAM: 1GB or greater Hard drive: 7200 RPM or faster Ethernet: Gig-E (1000BaseT) Windows Windows XP , Windows Vista, or Windows 7. A supported Ethernet or wireless LAN connection must be available. MacOS System 7.5 to MacOS 9.2 (Open Transport recommended) or MacOS X. A supported Ethernet or wireless LAN connection must be available. Linux/other Unix Hardware drivers, TCP/IP, and DHCP must be enabled in the kernel. A supported Ethernet or wireless LAN connection must be available.

The model number is on the label afxed to the Data Gateway. See the image at the left. About this Manual What About Security?
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain amount of responsibility to other Internet usersincluding the need to maintain a reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-
lowing tips to enhance your systems security:
Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Run the system update utility at least weekly. Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addi-
tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening les sent through chat rooms, whenever possible. Install a virus checker and keep it updated. Avoid providing web or le-sharing services over your Data Gateway. Be-
sides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit run ning servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for vi-
olating your terms of service. Use the cable companys mail servers for sending email. Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-
nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when break-
ing into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your ca ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the net-
work. The DG1670 ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same reasons that you should run only secured proxies). See the security label on your product (shown on image at the left) for the factory security settings. If you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see Conguring Your Wireless Connection. Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 12 Security Label Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Ethernet Cable Ethernet or Wireless?
There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Data Gateway. The following will help you decide which is best for you:
Ethernet Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local Area Network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-in Ethernet hardware. Note:
To connect more than four computers to the DG1670 through the Ether -
net ports, you need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retail ers). The Data Gateway package comes with one 6-foot (1.9m) Ethernet cable (the con-
nectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if nec-
essary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Data Gateway di rectly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub with a cross-over switch, ask for Category 5e
(CAT5e) straight-through cable. CAT5e cable is required for gigabit Ethernet (Gig-
E), not regular CAT5 cable. Wireless Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to Data Gate-
way. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to access the DG1670 using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition to the connections supported via Ethernet. You can use the wireless connection if your computer has a built-in or af-
termarket wireless card. To learn more about which wireless hardware works best with your com puter, see your computer dealer. Note:
Both If you have two or more computers, you can use Ethernet for up to four devices and wireless for the others. To connect ve or more computers to the Ethernet ports, you will need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers.) Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 13 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Installing and Connecting Your Data Gateway Before you start, make sure that:
You have contacted your cable company and veried that they provide data and telephone service using standard DOCSIS technology. You have all the items you need. Cable and power outlets are available near the computer. If a cable outlet is not conveniently located, your cable company can install a new one. If you have ordered service, your cable company should congure the Data Gate-
way automatically. You need only follow the instructions in this section to install and connect the Data Gateway. Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 14 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Front Panel The front of the Data Gateway has the following indicators:
A WPS Button/LED: begins associating the Telelphony Gateway with a wire-
less device. LED indicates Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) is active. B Power: indicates whether AC power is available to the unit. C US/DS: indicates upstream/downstream connectivity. D Online: indicates internet data transmission status. E 2.4 GHz: indicates the status of the 2.4 GHz wireless LAN. F 5 GHz: indicates the status of the 5 GHz wireless LAN. G MoCA: indicates connectivity between the Telephony Gateway and other home devices connected via the MoCA network. A C E G B D F DG1670 Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 15 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Rear Panel The rear of the Data Gateway has the following connectors and controls:
A Reset button: resets the Data Gateway as if you power cycled the unit. Use a pointed non-metallic object to press this button. B USB: USB host connector - future support for external USB devices C Ethernet (1 - 4): connectors for use with a computer LAN port. D Cable: connector for the coaxial cable. E Power: connector for the power cord. Reset USB 1 2 3 4 Ethernet 10/100/1000 Cable B D A C E Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 16 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Selecting an Installation Location There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location 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 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 Data Gateway. A large number of split-
ters can slow down the Internet connection. If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run ca-
bles between the Data Gateways location and those devices?
If you want to mount the Data Gateway on a wall, does the location pro vide a solid surface for secure attachment? For best results when mounting the Data Gateway on drywall, position the Data Gateway so at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud. This may prevent the Data Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future. If you want to install the Data Gateway on a desktop, is there enough space on either side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause over-
heating. How close are your wireless devices? The Data Gateway wireless con nection range is typically 100200 feet (30m65m). A number of factors can affect connection range, as described below. Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 17 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Factors Affecting Wireless Range A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections. Increases range:
Raising the unit above the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Data Gateway in the upper oor of a multi-
story dwelling) Decreases range:
Lowering the unit below the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Data Gateway in a basement) Metal or concrete walls between the Data Gateway and other devices Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets between the Data Gateway and other devices Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones, microwave ovens, or other wireless networks) Note:
Note that decreasing the range of your wireless network may be bene-
cial, as long as the decreased range is sufcient for your needs. By lim-
iting your networks range, you reduce interference with other networks and make it harder for unwant ed users to nd and connect to your net-
work. Note:
Setting the trasmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it to Medium or Low decreases the range proportionately. Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 18 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet Mounting the Data Gateway You can either mount the Data Gateway on a wall or place it on a desktop. For wall-mount applications, you can mount the Data Gateway 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 (at-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you use) wall-mount bracket (included) Location Always position the Data Gateway:
within reach of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet without stretching and without adding extension cords. near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs). Instructions Wall-mounting instructions Note:
When mounting the Data Gateway on drywall, try to position the Data Gateway so at least one of the screws is fastened to a stud. This may prevent the Data Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future. To prevent overheating of the Data Gateway, do not block the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit. Touchstone DG1670 Data Gateway Users Guide 19 Safety Getting Started Installation Conguration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet 1 Position the mounting bracket on the surface where you intend to mount the Data Gateway and mark the two holes with a pencil. 2 Drill holes through the marked locations for the mounting screws. 3 If using drywall anchors, set them into the wall. Then, drive the screws into the wall leaving a gap of about 1/8 (3 mm) between the screw head and the wall. If not using anchors, just drive the screws. 4 Slip both mounting slots in the back of the mounting bracket over the screws, then slide the bracket down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot contacts the screw shaft. 5 Hang the Data Gateway on the wall by inserting the six tabs on the mount-
ing bracket into the six slots in the back of the Data Gateway and sliding the Data Gateway down until it drops in place on the bracket. 6 Proceed to Connecting the Data Gateway. Desktop mounting instructions 1 Position the Data Gateway so that:
