FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
To avoid the possibility of exceeding radio frequency exposure limits, you shall beep a distance of at
least 100cm between you and the antenna of the installed equipment. This transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country
dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The
firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Introduction

Designed for outdoor environment application, the IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE is a
high-performance 802.11 a/n 2x2 MIMO broadband solution that provides fast and reliable wireless
network coverage. Designed with IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 standard, high output power and built-in
16dBi dual-polarity antenna makes it possible to deliver several times faster data rate than normal
wireless device and higher bandwidth with longer range for outdoor applications.
The IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE supports four wireless communication connectivity (AP,
Wireless Client, WDS and AP Repeater), allowing for various application requirements thus helping to
find the key to the “last mile” with least effort.
With high output power and reliable performance, the IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE is an
ideal wireless broadband solution for wireless Internet service providers and system integrators!

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

This chapter describes safety precautions and product information you have to know and check before
installing the IEEE 802.1 1a/n 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

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

2. If you are installing the IEEE 802.11a/n 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.

3. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site, especially
where there are electric power and phone lines.

4. When installing the 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.

5. 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 802.11a/n 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 CPE; otherwise, a random
lightening could easily cause fatal damage to the unit. EM D (Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT

COVERED UNDER WARRNTY.

2. Users MUST use the “Power cord & P oE Injector” shipped in the box with the CPE. Use of
other options will cause damage to the unit.

Product Package

The product package you have received should contain the following items. If any of them are not
included or damaged, please contact your local vendor for support.

Power Cord & PoE Injector

Warning:

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

802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE. Use of other options will cause damage to the
unit.

Hardware Installation

Connect up

1. The bottom of IEEE 802.11a/n wireless outdoor CPE is a movable cover. Loosen the screw
with a Philips screwdriver. Grab the cover and pull it back harder to take it out as the figure
shown below.

Figure 3 Move the Cover

2. Plug a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port labeled “LAN 1”. Do not plug the cable into

the RJ45 port labeled “LAN 2”.

Figure 4 Cable Connection

The secondary Ethernet port (labeled LAN 2) is for IP video integration. To use it you need to
enable the secondary port in advance before connecting with the IP camera from the CPE’s
Web Management as shown below.

3. Take out the power cord and PoE injector from the gift box, and plug the power cord into the DC

port of the PoE injector as the below picture shows.

Figure 5 Connect to PoE Injector

4. Put what in the St ep.2 and Step.3 together by plugging the other side of the Ethernet cable in

the Step.2 into the PoE port of the PoE injector in the Step.3. When you finish the Step.4, the
set will be like the following picture:

Figure 6 Plug the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 jack of the injector

5. Press the black PWR button beside the LAN 1 Ethernet port.

6. Attach and fasten the removable cover to the bottom of the unit with the screw.

7. Power on the IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE by plugging the power adapter to the

power socket.

Pole Mounting

1. Turn the CPE over. Put the pole mounting rings through the middle hole of it. Note that you
should unlock the pole mounting ring with a screw driver before putting it through the CPE as the
following right picture shows.

Figure 5 Pole Mounting – Step 1

2. Mount the IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE steadily to the pole by locking the pole
mounting ring tightly. The mounting ring supports pole diameter 32mm to 70mm.
