Connecting the Device

Note Please use only wired network connections to configure the AP.

Locate a suitable mounting site for your CPE. For choosing the best location, select an elevated location where trees, buildings and large steel structures will not obstruct the antenna signals and which offers maximum line-of-sight propagation with the users.

Adjust the direction of your CPE for the best signal. Place the straps through the slots on the back of the CPE and then around the pole. Tighten the straps.

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the POE port of the provided Power Injector and the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the CPE.

Then, connect the LAN port of the Power Injector to a PC using another Ethernet cable. Finally, plug the provided power adapter into the DC jack on the Power Injector, and the other end to a standard electrical wall socket.

The connection will be similar to the figure below after the above steps are finished.

If you use two CPEs to build the network, please make sure that the two CPEs are placed face to face.

Turn on all your network devices and then check to see if the LEDs on the AP display normally as the diagram below describes.
