MikroTik RBLDF-5nD User Manual

LDF series

The LDF (Lite dish feed) is an outdoor wireless system with a built in antenna, meant to be installed on satellite
offset dish antennas. The device comes preinstalled with RouterOS and is ready to use.

Assembly

The device is compatible with standard offset dishes, commonly used for satellite television. The offset mount is
universal at 40mm diameter, and the LDF can easily be placed inside it. !

!

To attach the ethernet cable to the LDF unit, follow these steps:

1. Assemble all components as shown in the illustration. If using pre-made cables, cut the rubber seal on one
side, to put it onto the cable. Self crimped cables should be crimped after the seal is on the cable

2. Connect ethernet cable to ethernet connector on LDF

3. Attach Housing nut to LDF body by rotating clockwise

4. Slide rubber seal into housing nut

5. Enclose the waterproof gland by turning compression nut clockwise

Powering

The device accepts 10-28V DC input from passive Power over Ethernet injectors. The device does not work with
IEEE802.3af compliant 48V power injectors. A PoE injector is included in the package.

Connecting

1. Connect an ethernet cable to the ethernet port, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE injector.
Plug the PoE injector into your PC or into your local network switch.

2. Set your computer IP configuration to automatic (DHCP).

3. Default IP address of the unit is 192.168.88.1, open this address in your web browser to start configuration.

must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device and

its antenna must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IMPORTANT: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. 13 cm minimum distance has to be maintained between the
antenna and the occupational user and 28 cm to general public. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation expo-

sure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

Antenna Installation. WARNING: It is installer's responsibility to ensure that when using the authorised antennas
in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use
