Packing List
Make sure you have everything you need to properly configure the device.
How does it work
- Connect the power supply cable to the PoE.
- PoE injector provides the power to ODU via LAN cable.
- PC connects LAN Cable to PoE, then PC can surf the Internet when ODU accesses the LTE network.
This quick installation guide shows you how to configure your ODU in order to access the Internet.
Configure hardware
CAUTION: Please make sure that you are familiar with all accident prevention and safety procedures necessary for working at height and with electricity before starting to install 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.
Mount the ODU
To connect the CAT5e (or above) Ethernet cable:
See the installation instructions to mount the ODU correctly.
Step 1 CAT5e (or above) cable to thread through the cable glands.
Step 2 Connect the end of the CAT5e (or above) Ethernet cable to the PoE
port of the ODU.
Step 3 Wiring the cable glands into ODU and seal tightly.
NOTE: Make sure you have inserted the SIM card into the ODU.
Header Connection
Mounting Bracket
Connect the protecting ground cable
Put the grounding screw through the hole of the grounding wire, lock it
together at the grounding hole of the metal shell (select one of the two
holes), and connect the other end of the grounding wire to the earth.
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 note 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.
- It is suggested that you transport the ODU to its intended installation location in its original protective package.
- 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 as shown below. Different colored LEDs represent
different signal strength.
Connect the PoE
Place a CAT5e (or above) Ethernet cable (not included) 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 (or above) Ethernet cable to PoE.
Step 2 Connect the power supply cable to the PoE. The POWER LED turns on
a solid green once connected.
Step 3 Connect the included Ethernet cable from the computer to one of
the Router’s Ethernet ports.

Troubleshooting
The POWER indicator does not turn on.
Make sure that the power cable is connected to the PoE, and the CPE is
connected to the right port of the PoE
Fails to Log in to the web management page.
Make sure that the CPE is powered on.
Verify that the CPE is correctly connected to the computer through a network

Check that the CPE is placed in an open area that is far away from
obstructions, such as concrete or wooden walls.
Check that the CPE is placed far away from household electrical appliances
that generate strong electromagnetic field, such as microwave ovens,
refrigerators, and satellite dishes. If the problem persists, contact your
Internet Service Provider.
The parameters are restored to default values.
If the CPE powers off unexpectedly while being configured, parameters might
reset to their default settings After configuring the parameters, download the
