Synapse Installation Guide
Placement Considerations
Avoid placing any Synapse component too close to the following:
 Communication devices, such as television sets, DVD players, or other cordless telephones
 Excessive heat sources
 Noise sources, such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting
 Excessive dust sources, such as a workshop or garage
 Excessive moisture
 Extremely low temperature
 Mechanical vibration or shock, such as on top of the washing machine or workbench.
ATA Placement Considerations
You can install the optional ATA near the Gateway, or near one of the third-party devices that are being used with it. For example,
it might be easier to connect the ATA to the fax machine in the room with the fax machine instead of running a telephone line
connection from the fax to an ATA located in a telephone equipment cabinet.
Power Considerations
Ensure that there is an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch within 6 feet (1.83 m) of each device location.
SB67020 and SB67031 Desksets are also compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE). To use PoE, your network needs a switch
that provides PoE. Using PoE simplifies your installation by eliminating the need to route separate power cords. It also allows you
to protect your system from power outages by connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to your PoE switch, Gateways,
and ATA. For power requirement specifications, see page 203.
