This chapter describes the functions, applications, and specifications of the product.
1.1 Product Introduction
1 Overview
HUAWEI eA360 is a piece of customer premises equipment (CPE) that functions as the long
term evolution (LTE) wireless gateway. It implements the conversion between LTE wireless
data and wired Ethernet data and supports data backhaul. The eA360 series can be used
independently and deployed outdoors.
The eA360 supports the LTE R8 standards and provides the following services:
Data services
The eA360 series uses LTE broadband technologies to support high-speed broadband
network access, data backhaul, and video surveillance.
Small-scale local area network (LAN)
The eA360 series can connect to external concentrators and Ethernet switches or routers
to set up a LAN with multiple computers. When terminal devices on the LAN connect to
the eA360 using network cables, the terminal devices can provide data services.
Security services
The eA360 series supports the firewall and PIN password, which protects your
computers when you access the Internet.
Firewall services
The eA360 series supports the following firewall services:
− Firewall enabling or disabling: enables or disables firewalls.
− Media access control (MAC) address filtering: prevents certain MAC addresses from
accessing the computers on a LAN.
− IP address filtering: blocks certain IP addresses from accessing the local computers.
− URL filtering: prevents computers from accessing certain URLs.
Local and remote management and maintenance
The eA360 series can be locally configured in the local city to implement device
management and network configuration, thereby ensuring stable operation of the device.
The eA360 provides wireless broadband and wired Ethernet data services.
The eA360 is intended to be deployed in wISP network. They can also be deployed in
industrial, public security and enterprise network if the performance is acceptable to the
network operator.
Figure 1-1 The eA360 deployed deployed in wISP network
The eA360 provides a variety of data services, such as LTE-TDD wireless routing and
converting LTE wireless data into wired Ethernet data, and vice versa. Figure 1-2 shows an
application scenario in which the eA360 is used in private industrial networks.
2. Use a network cable to connect the eA360 to an external device. If the eA360 connects
to a single device, connect the power adapter directly to the eA360. If the eA360
connects to multiple devices, connect the power adapter to a Hub or switch and then to
the eA360, as shown in Figure 1-4.

The panel of the eA360 provides the Power over Ethernet (PoE) port, SIM card maintenance
window, and indicator.
Figure 2-2 shows the panel of the eA360.

2.2 eA360 Cables
2.2.1 PoE Network Cable
The power over ethernet (PoE) network cable is an unshielded network cable that is used to
connect the PoE port of the eA360. The PoE network cable connects to an RJ45 connector at
both ends.
Before you install the eA360, unpack and inspect the equipment delivered to the site and
prepare the related tools. The product must be installed by professional, and the distance
should keep at least 20 meters to theroadways or in locations where it can be shown that the
ground power level of -44 dBm in the A or B blocks or -55 dBm in the C or D blocks in part
27 will not be exceeded at the nearest road location.
Perform the following operations to inspect the goods delivered to the site:
1. Unpack the equipment, count the total number of items based on the packing list
attached to each packing case, and check whether each packing case is intact.
2. Check whether the models and quantities are consistent with those specified on the
Packing List.
3. Record the serial number of the CPE.
Power on an CPE within 24 hours after unpacking it. If you power off an CPE for
maintenance, restore power to the CPE within 24 hours.
To avoid direct lightning, CPE must be installed in the protection angle of 45 degrees
below a separate lightning rod, or protection angle of 45 degrees below a surrounding
high-rise building.
