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.

Line of Sight

Side View

• 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.

• Mounting CPE

At the selected site, approximately align the CPE to the direction that you

have oriented.

• Mounting Power Adapter (Optional)

Follow the steps below to mount the power adapter:

To ensure the passive PoE adapter is attached most securely, it is

recommended to install the adapter with the Ethernet port facing upward.

1. Drill two holes on the wall and insert the plastic wall anchors into

the holes. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall. Make sure the

shoulders at the corners of the mounting bracket are on the outside

and pointing upward.

2. Attach the passive PoE adapter to the mounting bracket by sliding

the adapter in the direction of the arrows until it locks into place.
