Welcome
This document describes how to install and use the Expedience outdoor subscriber unit
(OSU) to obtain wireless high-speed Internet access. Subscribers can connect the OSU to a
computer or to a small office/home office (SOHO) local area network (LAN) through a hub,
switch, or router.
This document is intended for use by professional equipment installers. Subscribers of the
high-speed Internet service should not attempt to install the OSU. For questions about OSU
operation or installation, subscribers should contact the ISP that supplied the OSU device.
Before you begin
This section describes items the installer or subscriber must purchase before the OSU is
installed. This section also describes items you need to have available and things to consider
before beginning the OSU installation.
Additional material required for installation
• The subscriber’s computer must be equipped with an Ethernet network interface card
(NIC). The NIC is not provided with the OSU, but subscribers can purchase a NIC at
most computer and electronics stores.
• An RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the OSU plug-in power supply with the user’s
computer.
• Ground wire of sufficient length to run between the OSU and the home ground point.
• It is recommended that the ground wire be a 6AWG, solid copper wire.
• It is recommended that if a ground rod is used it should be 8 feet (2.5 m) copper. Note
that most buildings have an existing ground rod outside, at the main power connection
site. If desired, you can install a rod into the ground outside the building after consulting
local electrical codes.
• If you mount the OSU on a brick or masonry surface, lead screw anchors are required.
• Outdoor-rated category 5e Ethernet cable
• RJ-45 plug connectors and the necessary tools for field termination of the category 5e
cable
Pre-installation planning
• Find an appropriate location on the outside of the building to mount the OSU.
• To provide Internet service, the OSU communicates with a base station on the service
provider’s communications tower. The service provider must provide you with
information about the nearest communications tower. For example, if the tower nearest
to the building is north of the building, you will likely install the OSU on the north side
of the building.
• Mount the OSU on a high location on the building, such as under the eaves.
