Getting Started

It is recommended to first provision and test the radio on the bench before deploying in the field. This is a particularly useful
exercise to the novice user.

Connections and Power

• Remove the “boot” and Foam Insert from the bottom of the radio.

• Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the ODU (out door

unit) port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note that this cable will carry power over Ethernet
(PoE).

• If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over
Ethernet port.

If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru

• Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.

Once the radio is powered, check the LED lights on the bottom of the unit for status information. If the unit is powered,
and not associated with an AP, the ASSOC light should be blinking. The NET LED will light if the unit is connected
to a 100 Base-T Network.
