FCC STATEMENT

This Wireless CPE has been tested and complies with the specifications for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used according to the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, the re is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
is found by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment or devices

• Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the receiver’s

• Consult a dealer or an experienc ed radio/TV technician for assistance

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment!

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20 cm (8 inches) between the radiator and your body.

Installation Requirements

The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The operator of this

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 50 mW radio means
that you can easily cover distances of up to 8 miles at 1 Mbps and up to 3 miles at 11 Mbps.

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 po int (AP)
on the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The radio signal path must be line-of-sight (LOS) between the 2
antennas.

Inside the Wireless CPE

Before you can either test or install t he 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.

WARNING: Before touching the PCB, make sure that you are grounded and have dissipated

You will see a small 2-position slide switch near the RJ45 socket. If you are connecting the
wireless CPE directly to a computer network card or other Ethernet device, then slide this switch
toward the RJ45 socket. If you are connecting the wireless CPE to a hub or switch, then slide
this switch away from the RJ45 socket. Later, when you apply po wer to the unit, the second
green LED will indicate if this switch position was properly selected.

Jack

There are two small pushbutton switches on the PCB. These are only used if you wish to reset
the wireless CPE to factory default settings. (e.g. you forgot or lost the user name and/or
password)

Reboot

Allow approximately 6 inches of CAT-5 cable between the grommet and the PCB, then tighten
the outside nut of the weatherproof grommet. Also ensure that the inside nut is secure. Make
sure that both the small antenna cable and the CAT-5 cable are secure, then re-attach the access
panel to the CPE rear panel before proceeding.

The Power -over-Ethernet (PoE) injector

The Telex Wireless CPE uses a PoE injector to supply DC power to the device. To test the
wireless CPE, install another RJ45 plug to the other end of your exterior CAT-5 cable and
connect this end to the PoE box in the socket marked ANTENNA. Also connect one end of the
supplied 7 foot CAT5 patch cable in the socket marked COMPUTER. The other end of this 7
foot cable will plug into the Ethernet port of your computer or into a hub or switch port. Plug the
supplied 12 volt 1 amp supply into a standard 110VAC outlet or power strip. Plug the other end
of this DC supply into the PoE box in the socket marked DC.

WARNING: Make sure that the antenna is pointed away from any humans or animals while
power is applied! A safe distance is approximately 10 inches or more.

The PoE injector box may be placed on the floor or mounted anywhere near the co mputer, hub,
switch or router.
