Installation

Installation

Notice before installation

Choose a solid and safe place (Wall or Pole) for CPE installation

1. Choose the best location of the house and the orientation of the CPE to get the strongest signal reception from base station.

2. The ambient temperature for E580A and E580P series must be within:

E580A series: -10°C to 55°C

E580P series: -40°C to 55°C

NOTE

For lightning protection ground the CPE via Earth Ground Terminal and optimum reception, there are a few things you should consider before installation. Please see

“Important Installation Considerations” on page 7 for more details.

Prepare two Ethernet cables

Be sure that one of the cables used is an outdoor grade CAT 5e (or above)

Ethernet cable type and the length of the cables are adequate to reach the location of the CPE and indoor PPoE are.

Prepare wrenches

Prepare two adjustable wrenches or four combination wrenches. (size:

13mm x 2, 8mm x 1, and 19mm x 1)

Warning:

Do NOT start any traffic test (ex: throughput test and internet browsing) before the installer returns to the ground.

Installation

Important Installation Considerations

Before installing the outdoor CPE, consider the appropriate location, clearance, and device orientation.

Location and Cable wiring

1. Consult your Service Provider to find the best location and angle for getting the strongest signal from the base station.

2. Do a walking test around the house to find the best spot with the strongest signal if you don’t obtain related information from Service Provider.

3. Mount the CPE at the highest possible location with a clear view of the base station signal source. Buildings or other obstructions will affect the quality of the signal you receive.

4. Keep the best distance as possible from other devices that may cause interference.

5. Check if you can route the cable through the available ventilation holes to avoid unnecessary drilling and waterproofing the wall.

6. Disconnect the power cord first before mounting the CPE. Otherwise this may result in personal injury due to electric shock.

Installation

Mounting

1. Choose a solid wall/ground to mount the CPE.

2. Mount on a wall/pole that can sustain the CPE dimensions and weight.

3. Mount upright on a vertical surface.

Position Adjustment

1. The CPE must be directed towards the nearest base station. By pointing the CPE in the proper direction ensures that you receive the strongest signal.

2. Fine tune the signal by adjusting the orientation horizontally or vertically to increase the CPE signal strength.

3. To verify the signal strength level:



Check the LEDs on the front panel - more lighted LEDs indicates stronger signal.

 Access the web management and go to Basic Mode > Status > Mobile

Internet > Signal Quality to view the Rx signal strength.

Warning:



To receive stronger signal and to avoid possible RF radiation, please do NOT place your head or body in front of the CPE while you are positioning the CPE or checking the signal strength LEDs on the front panel.

Install the SIM card

This CPE is specially designed for the 4G LTE network.

Installation

NOTE

Check the availability of service and plan rates of data connections with your network service provider.

1. Unscrew the SIM card slot.

2. Insert a valid SIM card into the SIM card slot.

Push it fully until it clicks into place.

3. Screw the cap back on tightly .

Remove the SIM card

Push to eject the SIM card from the slot.

NOTE



Once the SIM is reinserted, you must restart the CPE to read the SIM card properly.

Installation

DMZ Host

When a firewall is used, it is sometimes necessary to place some clients

(for example Internet games, video conferencing, or VPN connections) outside of the firewall while leaving the others protected. You can do this using a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). This DMZ Host feature allows you to specify the IP address of the computers that are placed outside the firewall of your network.

In the text box, enter the last 3 digits of the DMZ host address (the prefix is 192.168.1 for this router), and then click .

The host IP address will be added to the DMZ Host list, which can be further disabled or enabled by clicking the ‘Enable’ checkbox. To remove this DMZ Host, click

Appendix A: FAQ

Appendix A: FAQ

This chapter contains a list of frequently asked questions when you set up your CPE configuration.

Q: What and how to find my computer IP address?

A: IP address is the identifier for a computer or device on a

TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255.

For example, 192.168.168.254 could be an IP address.

To find your computer IP address,

 In Windows, click Start > Run to launch the Command program.

 Type “ipconfig”, then press the Enter button.

 Your computer IP address is listed on the IP Address .

Q: What is Long Term Evolution (LTE)?

A: LTE is a 4th generation (4G) mobile broadband standard and is the successor to the 3G technologies CDMA/GSM/UMTS. The service is typically much faster on both uplink/download speeds.

Q: What is a firewall?

A: A firewall is a set of related programs that protects the resources of a private network from users from other networks.

Q: What is Network Address Translation (NAT)?

A: Network Address Translation (NAT) is the process where a network device, usually a firewall, assigns a public address to a computer (or group of computers) inside a private network.

Q: What is Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)?

Appendix A: FAQ

A: UPnP is an open networking architecture that consists of services, devices, and control points. The ultimate goal is to allow data communication among all UPnP devices regardless of media, operating system, programming language, and wired/wireless connection.

15.105(b)

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to pro-vide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operate din a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Appendix C: Important Safety Information and Glossary

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

Note: The country code selection is for non-US model only and is not available to all

US model. Per FCC regulation, all WiFi product marketed in US must fixed to US operation channels only.

Professional installation instruction

1. Installation personal

This product is designed for specific application and needs to be installed by a qualified personal who has RF and related rule knowledge. The general user shall not attempt to install or change the setting.

2. Installation location

The product shall be installed at a location where the radiating antenna can be kept

20cm from nearby person in normal operation condition to meet regulatory RF exposure requirement.

3. External antenna

Use only the antennas which have been approved by the applicant. The non-approved antenna(s) may produce unwanted spurious or excessive RF transmitting power which may lead to the violation of FCC limit and is prohibited.

4. Installation procedure

Please refer to user’s manual for the detail.

5. Warning

Please carefully select the installation position and make sure that the final output power does not exceed the limit set force in relevant rules. The violation of the rule could lead to serious federal penalty.
