Keep the CPE away from the household electrical appliances that produce strong electric or magnetic fields, such as micro-wave ovens, refrigerators, or disc satellite antennas.

Connecting Devices to the CPE

Note:

Connect devices to the CPE according to the actual situations. The following figure is for reference only.

To connect devices to the CPE, do as follows:

Connect the AC outlet of the power adapter to the POWER port of the CPE.

2. using cables.

Connect telephones to the TEL ports of the CPE by using telephone lines. Press the POWER button to start the CPE.

Note:

After the CPE is started, you can modulate the position and direction of the CPE to catch the strongest wireless signals. The strength of wireless signals is shown in the five-bar signal indicator.

Accessing the Web-Based Utility

The Web-Based Utility of the CPE is a web browser-based configuration interface that allows easy device setup, configuration and management through Internet browser. For example, to access the Web-Based Utility of the CPE from a PC that runs on Windows XP and uses IE 7.0, do as follows:

Connect the hardware of the CPE correctly.

1. Set the IP address of the connected computer and ensure that the IP address of the
