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. - Page 8 • 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. Models CPE210 CPE220 CPE510 Horizontal Beamwidth 65°...

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 1 ), you can effectively 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 2 ). - Page 12 Sheath Twisted Pair Ground Wire Cable Shield Secondary Cable Shield Shielded RJ45 Connector Shielded CAT5e (or above) Cable with Ground Wire...

Q1. How to restore the CPE to its factory default settings? With the CPE powered on, you can reset the CPE via either the RESET button on the CPE or the Remote Reset button on the Passive PoE Adapter. Method 1: Via the RESET Button on the CPE The following picture takes CPE220 as an example. - Page 20 Q2. How to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices? In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices, installers need to minimize the effect of the out-of-phase signals, which is caused by obstacles in the path between the transmitter and the receiver.
