SMAWAVE SRT011 LTE Outdoor CPE
Introduction
This manual will serve as a Quick Start Guide to the LTE Device Model SRM310 with Router. It includes two parts, an indoor unit (IDU) and an outdoor unit (ODU). ODU can provide strong accessibility to the LTE network, and has been designed to meet industrial-grade IP65 dustproof and waterproof standard. Router is a wireless device which can provide ODU power supply via PoE. ODU with Router in combination is the ideal solution for residential LTE network.

Packing List
Make sure you have everything you need to properly configure the device.
How does it work
- The ODU connects to the LTE network.
- The ODU is connected to the Router, operated with Router to provide Internet sevices.
- The ODU is powered by the Router with PoE.
- The Router functions as a LAN & Wi-Fi gateway.
This quick installation guide shows you how to configure your ODU and Router in order to access the Internet.
Hardware Configuration
CAUTION
Please make sure that you are familiar with all accident prevention and safety
procedures necessary for working at height and with electricity before start
to intall the device.
DO NOT install the ODU during a lightning storm.
Insert a SIM Card to the Slot
CAUTION
Make sure the ODU is turned off before you insert your SIM card. It is
recommended to NOT connect the PoE cable when you do this step. Otherwise, the
SIM card may be damaged.
Connect the Router to ODU
Place a CAT5e Ethernet cable from the location of your intended Router to the
desired ODU location.
The maximum distance of the CAT5e cable is limited to 50 meters. If you use
cable extenders to cover a greater distance, signal attenuation may occur.
If you intend to use cable clamps or other methods to secure the cable, do not
tighten them until you finish installing the Router and ODU.
To connect the CAT5e Ethernet cable:
Step 1 CAT5e cable to thread through the cable glands.
Step 2 Connect the end of the CAT5e Ethernet cable to the PoE port of the
ODU.
Step 3 Wring the cable glands into ODU and seal tightly.
NOTE: Make sure you have inserted the SIM card into the ODU.
Mount the ODU
See the installation instructions to mount the ODU correctly.
Header Connection
Mounting Bracket
Choose Location
The ODU can be mounted on an antenna pole or mast or on a wall using the
supplied mounting bracket.
Choose a mounting point that is sturdy enough to hold the ODU, even during
high winds.
When choosing a location to install the ODU, please be noted that the ODU’s
front panel should point towards your service provider’s nearest base station.
You do not need to be able to see the base station from the ODU’s position.
However, if you experience difficulties with signal reception, a Line of Sight
(LoS) connection may produce better results.
To obtain the best radio signal level and connection quality, the CPE antenna
should be aimed towards the best eNB or BS directly. To search for the best
eNB direction, the user can rotate the CPE slowly and tilt CPE slightly to
find the best signal direction. The CPE radio signal strength level can be
observed from the RF LEDs mounted on the lower panel. Different colored LEDs
represent different signal strength.
Connect the Router
Place a CAT5e Ethernet cable from the location of your intended Router to the
desired PC location.
If you intend to use cable clamps or other methods to secure the cable, do not
tighten them until you finish installing the Router and ODU.
Step 1 Connect the CAT5e Ethernet cable to the Router WAN/PoE port.
CAUTION
Do not connect a computer or switch directly to the PoE port of the Router due
to high PoE power.
Step 2 Connect the power adapter to the Router. The POWER LED turns on a
solid green-yellow once connected.
Step 3 Connect the included Ethernet cable from the computer to one of
the Router’s Ethernet ports.
