Hardware Connection
1. Site Consideration
• Mounting Height
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for an optimum performance. An elevated location is recommended as obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will weaken the wireless signal.
See 'Q2' in 'FAQ' for details about how to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices.

• Orientation
Install the CPE devices with the front facing the intended signal receiving devices. You can orient the devices with the assistance of
Google Maps, GPS and some landmarks according to the horizontal beamwidth listed below.

Slide to replace the cover of the CPE when all connections are finished.
You should prepare an adequate Ethernet cable to connect the CPE and the passive PoE adapter. Shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire is recommended (refer to the next section).
Connect to a computer, router or switch. (Depending on your intended usage and/or network topology.)
At the selected site, approximately align the CPE to the direction that you have oriented.

3. Lightning & ESD Protection
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices.
By using shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire for the connection and the provided PoE adapter (method 1 ), you can effectively eliminate ESD attacks. If you use the general CAT5e cable for the connection, then it is necessary to connect the grounding terminal of the CPE to earth ground through grounding cable (method 2 ).
