In areas of high surge events or poor grounding situations and areas prone
to lightning strikes, additional surge protection may be required (i.e.
PF11VNT3 from American Power Conversion) on the AC, RF, and Ethernet
lines.
•
When the Data Gateway is connected to a local computer through Ethernet
cables, the computer must be properly grounded to the building/residence
AC ground network. All plug-in cards within the computer must be properly
installed and grounded to the computer frame per the manufacturer’s spec-
ifications.
•
Ensure proper ventillation. Position the Data Gateway so that air flows freely
around it and the ventillation holes on the unit are not blocked.
•
Do not mount the Data Gateway on surfaces that are sensitive to heat
and/or which may be damaged by the heat generated by the unit, its power
supply, or other accessories.
