Checking Wall-Mounting Kit Contents
The VPN 3002 wall-mounting kit includes the following:
•
Two 1.0 inch (2.54 centimeters) wood screws (for mounting on wood surfaces).
•Two 1.5 inch (3.81 centimeters) screws and two plastic anchors (for mounting on drywall, plaster, or sheet rock surfaces).
Gathering Tools
You need the following tools to wall-mount the VPN 3002:
•Pencil
•Metal tape measure or ruler
•Level with vertical reading
•Hand drill or electrically-powered drill with 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch twist drill bits
•Phillips-head screw driver
•Hammer
Mounting the VPN 3002 on a Solid Wood Surface
To mount the VPN 3002 on a solid wood surface, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Select the 1.0 inch wood screws.
Step 2 Use a pencil to mark the location for the top screw.
Step 3 Mark the location for the second screw 3 1/4 inches (8.255 centimeters) below the location for the top screw. Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance.
Tip Place a level next to the tape measure or ruler to ensure that the screw locations are exactly 3 1/4 inches apart and are exactly vertical.
Step 4 Drill a hole 1/8 inch in diameter and about 1/4 inch deep in each of the screw locations.
Step 5 Use a screwdriver to install one 1.0 inch screw in each hole. Leave the screw heads 1/4 to 3/8 inch away from the wall.
Step 6 Position the VPN 3002 with the ports at the top, and the curved end of the unit facing the floor. This is the only position in which the unit can hang securely from the wall.
Step 7 Place the unit above the screws and lower it so the screw heads are inside and at the tops of the wall mount slots on the back of the unit. See Figure 2, which shows these slots.
Step 8 Adjust to fit. If the unit is too loose, remove it from the wall, slightly tighten screws, and rehang.

Mounting the VPN 3002 on a Drywall, Plaster, or Sheet Rock Surface
To mount the VPN 3002 on a drywall, plaster, or sheet rock surface, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Select the 1.5 inch screws and plastic anchors.
Step 2 Use a pencil to mark the location for the top screw.
Step 3 Mark the location for the second screw 3 1/4 inches (8.255 centimeters) below the location for the top screw. Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance.
Tip Place a level next to the tape measure or ruler to ensure that the screw locations are exactly 3 1/4 inches apart and are exactly vertical.
Step 4 Drill a hole 1/4 inch in diameter entirely through the wall material in each of the screw locations.
Step 5 Install a plastic anchor in each hole.
a. Insert the pointed end of the anchor in the hole and then tap the flat end of the anchor with a hammer.
b. Continue to tap until the flat end is flush with the wall.
Step 6 Use a screw driver to install a 1.5 inch screw in each hole. Leave the screw heads 1/4 to 3/8 inch away from the wall.
Step 7 Position the VPN 3002 with the ports at the top, and the curved end of the unit facing the floor. This is the only position in which the unit can hang securely from the wall.
Step 8 Place the unit above the screws and lower it so the screw heads are inside and at the tops of the wall mount slots on the back of the unit. See Figure 2, which shows these slots.
Step 9 Adjust to fit. If the unit is too loose, remove it from the wall, slightly tighten screws, and rehang.
