Mounting Kit Installation

Mounting Kit includes:

1. Articulation Pole x 1
2. T-formed Bracket x 1
3. M8x40 Screw Bolt x 1
4. M8 Nut x 1
5. M8 Washer x 1
6. M6 Washer x 4
7. M8 Spring Washer x 1
8. M6 Spring Washer x 4
9. M6x16 Screw x 4

For Wall Mount Installation , you will need:

10. Wood Screw x 4

11. Wood / Gyprock x 4
    For Pole Mount Installation, you will need:

12. W-Bar x 1

13. Stainless Hose Clamp x 2

14. M6 x 60 Screw Bolt x 2

15. M6 Washer x 2

16. Spring Washer x 2

17. Attach the Articulation Pole to the Enclosure
    Attach the articulation pole to the back of the BEC Gigabit LTE ODU enclosure using the supplied M6 screws, M6 spring washers, and M6x16 screws which are included
    in the mounting kit.

Note: The flexible mounting kit can be adjusted in multiple angles to align with the base stationfor higher efficiency.

2. l or Pole Mount Installation
   Mounting on Wall
   Fix the T-formed Bracket to the wall by using wood screws and ****Gyprock plugs.

** Mounting on a Pole between 1.5” to 2” (38.1~50.8mm)** Attach the T-formed Bracket and the W-bar to the pole then use M6x60 bolts, M6 spring washers, and M6 washers to fix the mounting kit onto the pole.

(a) The accept pole diameter is from 1.5” to 2”. If the diameter is larger than 2”, it can cause a failure extremely fast. If the diameter is smaller than 1.5”, the clamping force might be insufficient in holding the device to the pole.

(b) To minimize bolts crosstalk, the bolt should gradually increase the bolt load on both sides.
Mounting on a Pole between 1” to 3” (25.4~76.2mm)
Use the stainless hose clamps through the T-formed Bracket.
Fix the T-formed Bracket to the pole by using the supplied stainless hose clamps. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the head of the screw clockwise to tighten it.

3. Attach the BEC Gigabi t LTE ODU Enclosure to the Pole
   Attach the articulation pole (the BEC Gigabit LTE ODU enclosure) to the T-formed bracket using the supplied M8 nut, M8 spring washer, M8 washer, and M8x40 screw
   bolts.

4. Proper Grounding to Complete the Installation
   Attach the grounding wire to the BEC Gigabit LTE ODU and tighten the screw.

5. Position Adjustment
   Adjust the BEC Gigabit LTE ODU until it reaches the desired elevation and depression angle, then tight the M8 nut (see Attach the BEC Gigabit LTE ODU Enclosure to the Pole for more information)

Router Installation Instructions

1. Power on your BEC Gigabit LTE ODU
   Step 1: Assemble the M25 cable gland.
   **** Step 2 : Unscrew the LAN (PoE) cap then insert an outdoor Ethernet cable (RJ-45) through material A-D, and then connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the LAN (PoE) port.
   Step 3 :
   3.1: Insert C at the back end of D
   3.2: clip B on C
   3.3: keep B close to D
   3.4: then tighten A.

Step 4:
Insert the other end of the outdoor Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to the supplied Gigabit PoE injector Data+Power port. Connect another Ethernet cable (RJ-45) directly to the Data port and the other end of the cable to a switch or broadband router.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to put the Gigabit PoE Injector on a UPS or Surge Protector. Use a grounding wire to ground your BEC Gigabit LTE ODU is REQUIRED!

2. Set up your Gigabit LTE Internet Connection
   Step 1: Unscrew the cap of the SIM card slot.
   Step 2 : Slide the SIM card with the metal contacts (gold plate) facing down to the SIM slot then push it all the way in until you hear the clicking sound.
   It is recommended to use an industrial-grade SIM card. ****

Step 3 : Screw the cap back tightly.

Please power off the device before inserting or removing the SIM card.

Step 4 : Log in to your BEC Gigabit LTE ODU

The default IP of the router is 192.168.1.254 with subnet 255.255.255.0. Make sure the attached PC to this router is in the same subnet and has an IP address in the range between 192.168.1.1 ~ 192.168.1.253. Open a web browser and type http://192.168.1.254 in the URL address bar.

Troubleshooting

1. None of the LEDs are on when you turn on the Router.
   Check the connection between the adapter and the router. If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact technical support.

2. You have forgotten your Router login and/or password. Try the default login and password, please refer to User Manual or consult with your Internet Service Provider. If this fails, you can restore your router to its factory settings by holding The reset button on the back of your router for 6 seconds or more. * This username/password may vary by different Internet Service Providers.

3. Can’t ping any PCs on the LAN.
   Check the LAN (PoE) LED on the Router. The LED should be on for the port that has a PC

connected. If it is off, check the cables between your router and the PC. Make sure you have uninstalled any software firewall for troubleshooting. Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consistent between the router and the workstations.
