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.

• Orientation
Install the CPE devices with their fronts facing the signal receivers. You
can orient the devices with the assistance of Google Map, GPS and
some landmarks according to the horizontal beamwidth listed below.

2. Ethernet Cable Preparation
1. Select the adequate type of Ethernet cable.
The shielded CAT5e cable with ground wire (refer to the gure below)
is prior to the general shielded CAT5e cable during the whole cabling.
The former can more eectively protect your devices against ESD
attacks under brutal outdoor environment.

Ground Wire
Shielded RJ45 Connector
Secondary Cable Shield

2. Review the routes of connecting the POE Adapter to the CPE and
evaluate the Ethernet cable length for all the connections, then
prepare adequate Ethernet cable.

3. Connection and Installation
At the selected site,
approximately align the
CPE to the direction that
you have oriented.
Please connect and install the device as shown in the gure below.
Connect the PoE
Adapter to a power
outlet with the power
cord.
Connect the LAN port
of the PoE Adapter to a
computer, router or switch.
Connect the LAN0 (POE IN)
port of the CPE to the PoE port
of the PoE Adapter.
Power over Ethernet up to 60m

4. Lightning & ESD Protection
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. Pharos
CPEs provide two methods to protect the devices from damage of
lightning and ESD attacks as shown in the gure below.
