Chapter 1: Introduction

The Telex Wireless CPE/Outdoor Bridge

Perfect for the home or small office connection to the network, the Telex Wireless CPE
(Customer Premise Equipment) extends wireless connectivity from an access point to any
Ethernet-ready network device, such as a switch, router, desktop or notebook PC. The Wireless
CPE simply and efficiently transmits data between 10Base-T and your wireless LAN or wireless
ISP access point.

The Telex Wireless CPE gives you the freedom to place any standard networked computer
anywhere within range of an access point. A built-in 18 dBi antenna and 200 mW radio means
that you can easily cover distances of up to 12 miles.

Based on signal strength, it dynamically shifts between 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps network speeds for
maximum reliability of connection. So you’ve got the flexibility and performance you need
from your wireless LAN or wireless ISP.

Wireless data or VoIP is transmitted and received from the CPE to the network access point (AP)
on the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The radio signal path must be line-of-sight (LOS) between the 2
antennas.

Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Wireless CPE

Inside the Wireless CPE

Before you can either test or install the Telex Wireless CPE, you must attach a length of outdoor­rated (external) CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the unit. Remove the access panel from the rear panel
of the CPE using a 5/16” nut driver or wrench. Loosen the plastic nut on the outside of the
waterproof cable entry grommet, then insert the unterminated end of a length of exterior CAT-5
8-conductor Ethernet cable through this grommet.

Attach a standard RJ45 connector to the end of this cable using standard wiring for a straight
(non-crossover) connection. Plug this connector into the RJ45 socket on the PCB (printed circuit
board) that is attached to the access panel. Tighten down the cable strain relief clamp on the
cable. Do NOT unplug the small antenna cable from the radio card unless absolutely necessary.
