WARNING
Possible Eye Injury
Drilling holes in a solid surface, metal wood, etc. can result in debris breaking away
and traveling at high velocities. This debris can strike an unprotected eye and result
in lasting damage.
Always wear protective goggles or eye glasses when drilling.
Failure to adhere to this warning could result in eye injuries that lead to permanent
disability, even blindness.
This unit is normally mounted to the roof of the vehicle to provide external coverage to
the RSNs. In most installations, the router will mount to a pole via a back plate bracket.
The bottom of the pole fits within an elbow with a friction lock knob to hold the pole in a
lowered or raised position (see the illustration below of a mast pin). Any mounting
hardware and vehicle holes must be sufficiently weatherproof to prevent leakage.
5.11.2 Gateway Server
The Gateway Server is a Linux-based mobile PC. It is rated for automotive use, however
it is not weatherproof. It must be mounted within the vehicle. Use specific hardware
appropriate for the particular installation requirements. Typically, 5/16 x 24 screws
should be used to mount the unit. Since this unit requires forced air ventilation, leave
space around the unit to facilitate proper cooling.
