 Power by a PoE Switch
 Power by a PoE injector
 Power by a Type-C Port
Note: When connecting, Ethernet cable of UG56 device side should be installed first, otherwise, PoE devices or gateway may be damaged.
3.4 Gateway Installation
Before you get started, make sure all fittings are installed and the power supply is disconnected. A. Fix the wall mounting bracket to the device with 2 x M3 bracket fixing screws.
7

B. Drill 4 holes on the wall according to the wall mounting bracket, then fix the wall plugs into the wall. C. Fix the device to the wall plugs with M3 wall mounting screws. When installation, it's suggested to fix the upper two screws first.
