bracket.

Step 1: Connect a Cat5 Cable (not provided) to the RJ45

connector on the side of the unit.

Wall Mount Setup

Both surface and flush mount
installations are acceptable. For
surface mounting, ETC
recommends the use of an ETC
single gang surface mount
backbox (part# 7081A2004-1).
For flush mounting, ETC
recommends the use of RACO
#691 backbox or equivalent
(provided by others). All wall­mount gateways include a
standard faceplate but are
compatible with any Decorator
style faceplate.

Install the gateway into a backbox

Step 1: Ensure the backbox is clean and free of any obstructions.
Step 2: Terminate the incoming Cat5 wiring using the supplied Cat5

termination kit.

Step 3: Connect Power to the gateway

• If using PoE for power, plug the supplied RJ45 patch cable (12”/
300mm) into the female RJ45 that you have previously installed
into the backbox and the connector on the One Port Gateway.

• If using DC power, connect the incoming 12-24VDC power leads
