The eA660 series supports the firewall and PIN password, which protects your
computers when you access the Internet.
Firewall services
The eA660 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 eA660 series can be locally configured in the local city to implement device
management and network configuration, thereby ensuring stable operation of the device.

1.2 Application Scenarios
The eA660 provides wireless broadband and wired Ethernet data services.
The eA660 is deployed outdoors and provides wireless gateway services. The eA660 can be
deployed independently or used in conjunction with the eA100, which is deployed indoors
and connected to the eA660 using a network cable, enabling the eA660 to provide Wi-Fi and
other Internet services.
For details about the eA100, see the eLTE2.1 eA100 Series CPE Product Description.
Figure 1-1 shows an application scenario in which the eA660 is used with the eA100.
The eA660 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 eA660 is used in private industrial networks.
Figure 1-2 The eA660 deployed in industrial private networks
The following example describes how to use the eA660 for video monitoring.
1. Use a power adapter to supply power for the eA660 or video camera, as shown in Figure
1-3.
Figure 1-3 The eA660 connected to a video camera.
2. Use a network cable to connect the eA660 to an external device. If the eA660 connects
to a single device, connect the power adapter directly to the eA660. If the eA660
connects to multiple devices, connect the power adapter to a Hub or switch and then to
the eA660, as shown in Figure 1-4.
The eA660 is successfully registered
to the network.

2.2 eA660 Cables
2.2.1 PoE Network Cable
The power over ethernet (PoE) network cable is a shielded network cable that is used to
connect the PoE port of the eA660. The PoE network cable connects to an RJ45 connector at
both ends.
Background Information
The PoE network cable transmits data signals to the eA660 and provides DC power for the
equipment.
Off
Controlled by the
hardware temperature.
The signal strength is equal to or
smaller than –120 dBm.
When the hardware temperature is
lower than 0°C, the hardware is heated
and the indicator is on.
When the hardware temperature is
higher than 0°C, the indicator is off.
Technical Specifications
Table 2-3 lists the technical specifications of the PoE network cable.

2.2.2 Ground Cable
The ground cable ensures the proper grounding of the eA660.
The ground cable provides a 6 mm² cross-section, is yellow-green, and has OT terminals at
both ends. Figure 2-4 shows the appearance of the ground cable.

Figure 3-4 Installation method of the SIM card maintenance window
When you install the SIM card maintenance window, insert the protrusion into the caging slot
to ensure that the SIM card maintenance window is waterproof. Do not fasten the screws until
the SIM card maintenance window has been correctly installed.
Step 2 Insert the hose clamp to the wall-mounting frame, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 Inserting the hose clamp to the wall-mounting frame
Insert the end of the hose clamp that does not contain a screw into the square hole on top of the
wall-mounting frame on the back of the unit. When half of the hose clamp passes through the square
hole, slightly kink the protruding part and insert it into the other square hole on the front of the unit.
Step 3 Install the hose clamp with the wall-mounting frame on the utility pole, and use a M6 hex key
to rotate the screw on the hose clamp to adjust the length of the hose clamp until it is correctly
connected, as shown in Figure 3-6.
If the hose clamp is too long, cut off the extra part. Apply anti-rust oil to the cut in case it gets
rusty.
Figure 3-6 Adjusting the length of the hose clamp
Step 4 Fix the eA660 on the wall-mounting frame through the dovetail groove, as shown in Figure
Figure 3-12 Installation method of the SIM card maintenance window
When you install the SIM card maintenance window, insert the protrusion into the caging slot
to ensure that the SIM card maintenance window is waterproof. Do not fasten the screws until
the SIM card maintenance window has been correctly installed.
Step 2 Insert the hose clamp to the wall-mounting frame, as shown in Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-13 Inserting the hose clamp to the wall-mounting frame
Insert the end of the hose clamp that does not contain a screw into the square hole on top of the
wall-mounting frame on the back of the unit. When half of the hose clamp passes through the square
hole, slightly kink the protruding part and insert it into the other square hole on the front of the unit.
Step 3 Install the hose clamp with the wall-mounting frame on the utility pole, and use a M6 hex key
to rotate the screw on the hose clamp to adjust the length of the hose clamp until it is correctly
connected, as shown in Figure 3-14.
If the hose clamp is too long, cut off the extra part. Apply anti-rust oil to the cut in case it gets
rusty.
Figure 3-14 Adjusting the length of the hose clamp
Step 4 Fix the angel adjusting component onto the mounting frame using the dovetail groove, as
Figure 3-15 Fixing the angle adjusting component onto the mounting frame
If you correctly install the angle adjusting component, you will hear a loud click.
Use the M8 hex key to loosen the the hex screws on the left of the angle adjusting component, and
adjust the vertical angle by rotating the front end of the angle adjusting component, as shown in
Figure 3-16. Then tighten the hex screws.
Figure 3-16 Adjusting the vertical angle
Use the M8 hex key to loosen the the hex screws on the left of the angle adjusting component, and
adjust the vertical angle by rotating the front end of the angle adjusting component, as shown in
Figure 3-17. Then tighten the hex screws.
The gears of the horizontal angle adjusting part is tightly fit in. Consequently, the horizontal
angle is difficult to adjust. When adjusting the horizontal angle, after you loosen the hex
screws, you must lift the front end of the angle adjusting component to separate the gears.
Figure 3-24 Installation method of the SIM card maintenance window
When you install the SIM card maintenance window, insert the protrusion into the caging slot
to ensure that the SIM card maintenance window is waterproof. Do not fasten the screws until
the SIM card maintenance window has been correctly installed.
Step 2 Hold the wall-mounting frame tightly against the wall, use a level to adjust the horizontal
position, and mark the fixing points with a marker, as shown in Figure 3-25

Step 2 Hold the wall-mounting frame tightly against the wall, use a level to adjust the horizontal
position, and mark the fixing points with a marker, as shown in Figure 3-34
When making PoE network cables, follow the international standard EIA/TIA568A or EIA/TIA568A to
arrange the cables. Make sure that the two ends of each network cable use the same standard.
Step 3 Connect the PoE network cable.
1. Diassemble the PG-head screw cap and air-proof block on the PoE port, and pass the
network cable through them, as shown in Figure 3-40.
When the eA660 is mounted on a metal utility pole, the fixture must
be firmly installed, and the CPE must be attached.
3
When the eA660 is mounted on the wall, the installation hole on the
fixture must be aligned with the one on the expansion bolt. In addition,
the fixture must be tightly and firmly attached to the wall and must not
wobble when you shake it.
When checking the cable connections of the eA660, check the items listed in Table 3-7 in
order.
Table 3-7 Cable connection check of the eA660
No. Check Item
1 No cable is short-circuited or inversely connected.
2
The bare wires and lugs of the connecting terminal must be tightly
wrapped with insulation tapes. Cooper wires must not be exposed.
3 Power cables or PGND cables with connectors are not used.
4
The connector of the PoE network cable must be appropriately
connected.
Step 2 Perform the power-on check, as shown in Figure 3-43.
The items listed in Table 3-8 must be checked during eA660 indicator check.
Table 3-8 Indicator check
No. Check Item
1 When the eA660 powers on, the POWER indicator is on.
2
When the eA660 powers on, the RSSI indicator is steady on
or blinks.
If the RSSI indicator is off when the eA660 powers on, the signal strength is too weak. Check the power
supply and the angle of the angle adjusting component. For details about the indicator status, see Table
