Installing the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem
Establishing the cable connections
The indoor unit should not be considered as an Ethernet terminal. The full
length of the Ethernet cable from the outdoor modem to the Ethernet ter-
minal (e.g. a router or a PC) must not exceed 100 m. The maximum per-
mitted cable length between indoor unit and outdoor modem is 50 m. If
you utilise this completely the cable length between Ethernet terminal and
indoor unit must also not exceed 50 m.
Connecting the outdoor modem
1. Shorten the cable to the length required for connecting it to the indoor unit:
– If there is any surplus cable, pull this inside through the wall duct.
– Lay the inside section of the cable up to the location of the indoor unit or the wall
connection socket and attach the cable professionally.
– Fit an Ethernet plug to the cable end.
First shorten the cable to a length that allows the indoor unit or the wall connec-
tion socket to be easily reached.
2. Connect the RJ45 plug of the Ethernet cable from the outdoor modem to the OUT
connector of the indoor unit.
Or
1. Connect the RJ45 plug of the Ethernet cable of the outdoor modem to the wall con-
nection socket.
2. Connect the wall connection socket and the indoor unit using an Ethernet cable
(CAT5e).
Connecting the PC or laptop
When the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem has been assembled
and is put into service, it is connected to the PC or the customer's network
via the IN connector of the indoor unit.
When you first put the system into service, it is recommended that you first
connect a laptop that has the appropriate settings for this purpose. For
information on what settings to make on the laptop, please read the sup-
plied user guide.
1. Connect the supplied, pre-assembled Ethernet cable to the IN connector on the in-
door unit.
2. Then connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet socket on the PC or laptop that you
are using for putting the system into service for the first time.
The PC or laptop with the special settings can be on and ready for use, but this is
not obligatory.
