Choose a Location for the Wireless VPN Firewall
The wireless VPN firewall is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be
freestanding (on its runner feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Alternatively, you can rack-mount the wireless VPN firewall in a wiring closet or equipment
room.
Consider the following when deciding where to position the wireless VPN firewall:
•
The unit is accessible, and cables can be connected easily.
•
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave
ovens, and air-conditioning units.
•
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
•
Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.
Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch clearance.
•
The air is as free of dust as possible.
•
Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean,
air-conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating
temperatures for the wireless VPN firewall, see
Appendix A, Default Settings and
Technical Specifications
