2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
This router plays a vital role in connecting networks, and its proper functioning is crucial for ensuring the normal operation of all interconnected subnetworks.
The following safety precautions must be followed during installation and use:
- Do not place the device in a damp or wet location, and keep the device away from any kind of liquid.
- Install the device in a position far away from heat sources.
- Wear an ESD wrist strap during installation and maintenance.
- Do not wear loose clothing and tighten your belt, scarf, and sleeves to prevent clothing from getting caught on the device and causing damage.
- Keep tools and accessories away from walking areas to avoid damage.
- Use an uninterruptible power source (UPS) to avoid power failures and disturbance.
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
This router must be installed indoors to ensure its normal operation and prolonged service life. The installation site must meet the following requirements.
- Temperature and humidity
- Cleanliness
- ESD protection requirements
- Anti-interference
- Checking the mounting workbench
2.2.1 Temperature and Humidity
Appropriate temperature and humidity at the installation site are crucial for ensuring normal operation and prolonged service life of the router. High humidity can lead to poor insulation and electrical performance issues such as leakage. On the other hand, low humidity can cause shrinkage of insulation gaskets and looseness of fastening screws, which can generate static electricity and pose a risk to internal circuits, especially in dry climate environments. High temperatures can significantly impact the reliability and service life of the device by accelerating the aging process of insulation materials. The following table describes the temperature and humidity requirements.
Operating Temperature | Operating Humidity |
---|---|
-10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F) | 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing) |
2.2.2 Cleanliness
Dust poses a significant risk to the operational safety of the device. When indoor dust accumulates on the device, it can lead to electrostatic adsorption and result in poor contact. This not only affects the lifespan of the device but also increases the likelihood of communication failures. The risk of electrostatic adsorption increases when the indoor relative humidity is low.
The following table describes the requirements for the dust content and granularity.
Max. Diameter (µm) | 0.5 | 1 | 3 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Max. Concentration (Number Of Particles/m³) | 1.4×107 | 7×105 | 2.4×105 | 1.3×105 |
In addition to dust, the device also has specific requirements regarding the presence of harmful gases such as hydrochloric acid sulfides in the air at the installation site. These gases can cause accelerated corrosion of metals and aging of certain components. The following table describes the specific limits for harmful gases including SO2, H2S, NO2, NH3, and Cl2 in the installation site.
Gas | Avg. (mg/m³) | Max. (mg/m³) |
---|---|---|
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) | 0.2 | 1.5 |
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) | 0.006 | 0.03 |
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) | 0.04 | 0.15 |
Ammonia gas (NH3) | 0.05 | 0.15 |
Chlorine gas (Cl2) | 0.01 | 0.3 |
2.2.3 ESD Protection Requirements
This device is designed with rigorous anti-static procedures during circuit design. However, excessive static electricity can still cause damage to its circuit board. Static electricity in the communication network connected to the device mainly originates from two sources:
- Outdoor high-voltage transmission lines, lightning and other external electric fields; and
- Internal systems such as indoor flooring materials and overall structure of the device.
To prevent damage caused by static electricity, pay attention to the following:
- Keep the indoor installation environment clean and free of dust.
- Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity.
2.2.4 Anti-interference
Anti-interference measures primarily target electromagnetic and current interferences. The following requirements should be met to ensure effective mitigation of interference:
- Take effective measures to prevent interference from power grid to the power supply system.
- Keep the device away from the grounding facility or lightning and grounding facility of the power device as much as possible.
- Keep the device far away from high-frequency current devices such as high-power radio transmitting stations and radar launchers.
2.2.5 Checking the Mounting Workbench
Regardless of whether the device is installed on a desktop or wall, the following conditions must be met:
- The desktop or wall surface must be smooth and clean.
- The Ethernet cables must be in good condition.
2.3 Tools
Category | Tools |
---|---|
Common Tools | Phillips screwdriver, cables, fastening bolts, diagonal plier, and cable ties |
Special Tools | Wire stripper, crimping plier, RJ45 crimping plier, and wire cutter |

3.3 Installation Procedures
3.3.1 Installing the Router
Installing the router on a flat surface: The router can be placed on a horizontal surface, such as on a shelf or desktop.
Installing the router on a wall: Do not place the router in a place where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat. Keep the router away from devices with strong electromagnetic interference, such as Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, or cordless phones. Generally, the router is placed on a horizontal surface, such as on a shelf or desktop. The router also can be mounted on the wall as shown in the following figure. The screw head should have a diameter ranging from 5mm to 8 mm (5 mm ≤ D ≤ 8 mm), with a maximum height of 3 mm. The distance between two screws should measure precisely 111.64 mm. The screw should have a minimum length of 20 mm, with a visible portion above the wall measuring at least 4.5 mm in order to withstand the weight of the router.
3.3.2 Connecting Cables
? Note: If you use a modem for Internet access, power off your modem and remove the backup battery if it has one. If you do not have a modem, you can connect the Ethernet port in the wall directly to the WAN port of your router. Once connected, proceed to follow steps 3 and 4.
Step 1: Connect the modem to the WAN port on the router using an Ethernet cable.
Step 2: Power on the modem and wait for it to restart.
Step 3: Connect the power adapter to the router.
Step 4: Verify the System LED on the top of the router until it turns slow blinking at a 2-second interval or solid on.
The diagram shows the 2.5GE Port (WAN/LAN) and Gaming Port on the router.
3.4 Bundling Cables
? Note:
- Bundle the cables in a visually pleasing way.
- Make sure that the twisted pair cables at the connectors have natural bends or bends of large radius.
- Do not bind twisted pair cables too tightly, as this may press the twisted pair cables and affect their service life and transmission performance.
Bundling steps:
- Bundle the hanging part of the twisted pair cables using cable ties and route them to the WAN port of the device.
- Fasten the twisted pair cables to the cable trough of the mounting bracket.
- Extend the twisted pair cables under the device and route them in a straight line.
3.5 Verifying the Installation
