Installation Connection

1.1 RF cable
Connect the RU’s 4 RF ports to the band matched antenna through 4 of accessory RF cables. Make sure all RF cable N-type connectors are tightened well before you power on RU.

2.2 SPF+ & LAN & AC Power Port

  1. SFP+ Port: This port is used for fronthaul C/U/S/M-Planes. Plug in the accessory optical fiber to RU’s SPF+ port, and connect the optical fiber’s another side to the SFP+ 1310nm single mode transceiver of DU (C1) or PTP FH switch (C2/C3).
  2. LAN Port: This port is used for accessing RU’s Web GUI and SSH, this LAN port default IP address is 192.168.100.10 without VLAN.
  3. AC Power: RU supports AC 100~240V 50/60Hz. Plug in the accessory AC cord to the properly AC socket.

Log in RU
