Abstract: A mounting system is provided. The mounting system may include a network device, a socket, and a socket cover. The network device is operable to provide one or more network services. The socket is configured to be installed with an opening of an installation surface. The network device is sized to engage the socket and disposed in the opening of the installation surface. The socket cover is sized to engage with the socket such that the network device is covered. The mounting system may be used to install the network device with the installation surface.

Abstract: A system for connecting an add-on device to a network device is provided. The system includes a network device, an additional network module, and a socket cover. The additional network module may be disposed in an add-on module of the network device. The add-on module may be separate from a network module that supports a network device circuit of the network device. The socket cover may include an add-on device that is operated by the additional network module.

Abstract: A mounting system for a circuit receptacle is provided. The mounting system includes a socket and a circuit receptacle. The socket includes a locking recess that is disposable in an opening of an installation surface. The circuit receptacle includes a locking tab that engages the locking recess and secures the circuit receptacle to the socket. The locking tab may be configured to engage the locking recess in the opening of the installation surface, such that the locking tab is hidden.

Abstract: A socket for mounting a network device is provided. The socket includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion and bottom portion are sized to engage with a network communication device that may be inserted into an interior of the socket from a first side of an installation surface. The top portion and bottom portion may be operable to draw heat away from the network device and release the heat on a second side of the installation surface.
