Outdoor Gateway Quick Installation Guide
Introduction
This Quick Installation Guide covers the basic installation of the Outdoor Gateway.
Overview The Outdoor Gateway is a WiiMAX subscriber station designed to provide Internet access for a home or
small office. The Outdoor Gateway includes an outdoor unit (ODU) connected to a supply unit (IDU). The ODU
provides the WiMAX Internet link, and the IDU serves as the gateway for a local Ethernet wired.
The indoor unit includes:
• One standard RJ-45 Ethernet port for LAN connections.
• One 8 PIN RJ-45 Ethernet port for connection to the ODU. This cable provides a dedicated Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
power supply to the ODU, as well as a data link between the ODU and the IDU. The IDU should be connected to an AC
power connection.
Installing the ODU
Before installing the ODU, verify that you have all the items listed in the package checklist. If any of the items are missing
or damaged, contact your WiMAX service provider.
Selecting a Location
The ODU should be pole-mounted outdoors and aligned so its antenna faces the nearest WiMAX base station.
When selecting a suitable location for the unit, consider these guidelines:
• Place the ODU as high as possible to achieve the best possible link quality.
• Place the ODU away from power and telephone lines.
• Avoid placing the ODU too close to any metallic reflective surfaces.
• Be sure to ground the ODU with an appropriate grounding wire (not included) by attaching it to the grounding screw on
the unit and to a good ground connection.

Additional information:
Check below items before installing the outdoor CPE:
• One RJ-14 connector for connecting to the telephone line.
• One RJ-45 connector for connecting to the PoE adaptor.
• LED indicator inside and SIM card slot for inserting SIM card.
• A grounding screw on the rear panel.
Mounting the ODU
Mount the ODU unit on a 1"-4" pole using the supplied kit (Figure 1), or the optional Tilt accessory.
Using the Clamp
1 Thread the M10*100mm bolt through a spring washer, flat washer and the bracket holes.
2 With the connector facing downward, attach the ODU to a 1" -4" pole.
3 Attach the bracket to the other side of the pole.
4 Thread the M10*100 mm bolts through both holes on either side. Tighten the nuts.

Installing the IDU
The IDU can only be mounted indoors. It should be mounted on any horizontal surface, such as a desktop or shelf. Be
sure to select a suitable location for the device within 100 m (328 ft.) of the ODU. Consider these guidelines:
• Select a cool, dry place, which is out of direct sunlight.
• The device must be near an AC power outlet that provides 100 to 240 V, 50 to 60 Hz with proper grounding.
• The device should be accessible for network cabling.
• The overall length of the Ethernet cables from the ODU to the IDU and from the IDU to the PC must not exceed 100m.
You must plan a cable route from the ODU to the IDU indoors. Consider these guidelines:
• Determine a building entry point for the cable.
• Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable.
• For additional lightning protection, it is recommended to use a lightning arrestor immediately before the Ethernet cable
enters the building.
Connecting the Cables

RJ-45 and telephone line have to be connected to outdoor CPE.
• Follow the instruction on PoE adapter: RJ-45 port (“TO/FROM OSU POE RJ45) connects to ODU through RJ-45 cable,
meanwhile, RJ-14 port (“TO/FROM OSU VOIP) and outdoor CPE can be connected by telephone line.
• Using a phone line connected the telephone with RJ-11 port on POE adapter.
• Available for other device such as PC/Hub/Switch connected to PoE through RJ-45 cable on PoE.

CAUTION
!
Connect the indoor unit to the AC mains using the power adapter supplied with the unit.
Do not connect the data equipment to the Po
may harm other equipment connected to it.
