Mounting the Device

You can mount the device in several ways:

 Placing it on a desktop using the four anti-slide bumpers (supplied), which you need to stick on the

grooves located on the underside of the device.

 Mounting it in a standard 19-inch rack by placing it on AudioCodes 1U 19-inch rack mount shelf

(separate orderable item). The procedure includes attaching the shelf to the rack's front posts, and
then placing the device on the shelf where it is securely held in position by the device's anti-slide
bumpers which fit into the shelf's four square-openings.

 Mounting it on a wall, using the integral mounting keyholes located on its underside.

For detailed instructions on mounting, refer to the Hardware Manual.
