Abstract
A network concentrator is mounted on a mounting surface using a mounting piece. The network concentrator 1 is given a mounting hole in a mounting part. If the mounting surface is not magnetic, a protrusion such as a screw provided on the mounting surface is inserted into the mounting hole. If the mounting surface is magnetic, on the other hand, a mounting piece is used. The mounting piece has such a form as to be inserted into the mounting hole, and is provided with a magnet. The magnet is attached to the mounting surface, and a part of the mounting piece is inserted into the mounting hole, thereby mounting the network concentrator on the mounting surface.
Claims8
A method of mounting a network concentrator on a mounting surface using a mounting piece having a magnet and a projecting portion and being a separate part from the network concentrator, comprising:
- preparing a network concentrator having a contact surface to contact with a mounting surface, the contact surface having a mounting hole;
- when the mounting surface is not magnetic, inserting a protrusion provided on the mounting surface into the mounting hole;
- when the mounting surface is magnetic, attaching the mounting piece to the mounting surface by the magnet, and
- inserting the projecting portion of the mounting piece into the mounting hole of the network concentrator.
A mounting piece for mounting a network concentrator having a mounting hole on a magnetic mounting surface, comprising:
- a projecting portion to be inserted into the mounting hole;
- and
- a magnet to be attached to the mounting surface.
A mounting system for mounting a network concentrator on a mounting surface, comprising:
- a network concentrator having a mounting hole on a contact surface to contact with the mounting surface;
- and
- a mounting piece having a projecting portion and a magnet, the mounting piece being a separate part from the network concentrator, the projecting portion to be inserted into the mounting hole, and the magnet to be attached to a magnetic mounting surface.
A method of mounting a network concentrator on a mounting surface using a mounting piece having a mounting hole, being entirely or partly magnetic, and being a separate part from the network concentrator, comprising:
- preparing a network concentrator having a contact surface to contact with a mounting surface, the contact surface having a magnet;
- when the mounting surface is magnetic, attaching the magnet to the mounting surface;
- and,
- when the mounting surface is not magnetic, inserting a protrusion provided on the mounting surface into the mounting hole provided on the mounting piece, and
- attaching the mounting piece to the magnet.
A mounting piece for mounting a network concentrator having a magnet on a mounting surface provided with a protrusion,
- wherein a mounting piece is entirely or partly magnetic, formed separately from the network concentrator, and provided with a mounting hole into which a protrusion provided on the mounting surface is inserted.
A mounting system for mounting a network concentrator on a mounting surface, comprising:
- a network concentrator having a magnet on a contact surface to contact with the mounting surface;
- and
- a mounting piece being entirely or partly magnetic, formed separately from the network concentrator, and having a mounting hole into which a protrusion provided on the mounting surface is inserted.
