Packing List

Make sure you have everything you need to properly configure the device.

Overview

1. Connect the power supply cable to the PoE.
2. PoE injector provides the power to ODU via LAN cable.
3. LAN cable and PoE connect to the PC, so that PC can access the Internet when ODU connects to 5G 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.

Installing the ODU

• To connect the CATe (or above) Ethernet cable: See the instructions below for correct ODU installation
• . Step 1 CATe (or above) cable to thread through the cable glands.
• Step 2 Connect the end of the CATe (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 insert the SIM card into the Diu

Header Connection

Mounting Bracket

NOTE: The ODU needs professional installation.

• 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 garth

Choose Location

The ODU can be mounted on a 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 sianal strenath.

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 CATe (or above) Ethernet cable to PoE. Do not connect to a computer or switch directly to the PoE port due to high PoE power.
• CAUTION
• 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.

LED Behavior
When setting up the Outdoor Unit, the LED will have the following behavior:

Configure the CPE

• Login to the website
  Use a browser to access the management web page to configure and manage the CPE. The following procedure describes how to use a computer running Windows 7 or above version and Internet Explorer to connect to the CPE webpage.

  • Step 1 Connect to the CPE correctly.
  • Step 2 Start Internet Explorer, type http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar, and press Enter.
  • Step 3 Enter the user name and password, and click Log In. You can connect to the management web page after the password is verified.

• Configuration of 5G

  • Step 1 Connect to the CPE correctly.
  • Step 2 Go to the management website.
  • Step 3 Choose Settings – Network → 5G Settings.
  • Step 4 Set the connection mode and scan mode.

The default setting is automatic connection and full band scanning, if you want to connect to the 5G network according to your needs, you can set the connection mode as manual, and simply scan a specific band.

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 cable. If the problem persists contact authorized local service center.
• The CPE fails to search for the 5G 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 configuration file to quickly restore the CPE to the desired settings.
