Hardware Connection
• Mounting Height
1. Site Consideration
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.

2. Connection and Installation
At the selected site,
approximately align the
CPE to the direction that
you have oriented.
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).
Please connect and install the device as shown in the gure below.
Connect to a computer,
router or switch.
(Depending on your
intended usage and/or
network topology.)
Ethernet cable length up to 60m

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 ), you can
eectively 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 ).
