Wall Mounting the u4/u4m
The Calix GigaSpire BLAST u4 and the GigaSpire Mesh BLAST u4m can be wall mounted
using. Keep the following information in mind when considering wall mounting:
Locate the BLAST on the wall in a location that is unlikely to be bumped or jostled.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable(s) (if used) and power supply wiring attached to the
GigaSpire are secured properly and out of harms way.
1.
Find a suitable location for attaching unit to the wall. Be mindful of the power source
and Ethernet cable requirements when determining a mounting location.
2.
Using the template included in the back of this guide, mark the two screw locations on
the wall, making sure the device will remain level after mounting.
3.
Drill holes in the wall and install appropriate wall anchors if required.
4.
Thread the screws into the wall anchors and tighten leaving a gap of about 1/8" between
the screw head and the and the back of the unit.

Mounting Screws
The two mounting holes on the back of the unit are designed to accommodate the following
screw type:
larger than 7mm wide and less than 14mm wide
Screw shaft < 3mm in diameter
Screw length > 6mm
Depending on the material you are attaching to, use a screw of sufficient length and strength
to support the GigaSpire BLAST once attached to the bracket. See below for specifications
on what type of screw is recommended.
Note:
Once the GigaSpire is connected and turned up, Wi-Fi network parameters are
persisted in memory. For this reason, if power is lost to the GigaSpire, it will be re-
discovered on the network automatically, without operator intervention.

Note:
If attaching to sheet rock or gypsum board, Calix recommends using a wall
anchoring system to ensure the bracket is securely attached to the wall.
