Chapter 1 Introduction

Introduction

The IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE is a multi-mode last-mile broadband solution

for customers like wireless ISP (WISPs) and system integrators. By the nature of complying

with the IEEE802.11n standard and featuring high power output, IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS

OUTDOOR CPE supports higher bandwidth with longer range for outdoor applications.

IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE can be used as the access point, the customer

premises equipment (CPE), the WDS or the AP Repeater. While being as the access point, it

can be deployed outdoors to provide outdoor wireless internet service. In the other way to be

as the outdoor CPE, it can receive wireless signal over the last mile, helping WISPs deliver

internet service to the new residential and the business customer where wired broadband

internet service, such as cable and DSL, can not serve in. In addition, the easy-to-install IEEE

802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE covers 2.4GHz bands, which features outstanding

throughput performance and a cost-effective design that allows users to have the reliable

outdoor equipment at the affordable price.

This chapter describes safety precautions and product information you have to know. Please

check this chapter before installing the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE.

Preparation Before Installation

Professional Installation Required

Please seek assistance from a professional installer who is well trained in the RF installation

and knowledgeable in the local regulations.

Safety Precautions

To keep you safe and install the hardware properly, please read and follow these safety

precautions.

1. If you are installing the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE for the first time, for

your safety as well as others’, please seek assistance from a professional installer who

has received safety training on the hazards involved.

2. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site,

especially where there are electric power and phone lines.

3. When installing the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE, please note the following

things:

♦ Do not use a metal ladder;

♦ Do not work on a wet or windy day;

♦ Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.

4. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of it. Strong RF fields are

present when the transmitter is on.

Installation Precautions

To keep the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE well while you are installing it, please

read and follow these installation precautions.

1. Users MUST use a proper and well-installed surge arrestor with the IEEE 802.11N

WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE; otherwise, a random lightening could easily cause fatal

damage to IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE. EMD (Lightning) DAMAGE IS

NOT COVERED UNDER WARRNTY.

2. Users MUST use the “Power cord & PoE Injector” shipped in the box with the IEEE

802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE. Use of other options will cause damage to the

IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE.

3. Users MUST power off the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE first before

connecting the external antenna to it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external

antenna from WEB management without physically attaching the external antenna onto

the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE; otherwise, damage might be caused to

the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE itself.
