Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning acvity.
NETKROM shall not be liable for incidental or consequenal damages resulng from the furnishing, performance, or use of
this manual.
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into
contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they
may cause serious injury or death.
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
To meet regulatory restricons, the radio and the external antenna must be professionally installed. The network
administrator or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit must be a suitable professional
installer. Following installaon, access to the unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain
regulatory compliance.
The AIRNET Outdoor Bridge Point to Point kit and PoE injector can be damaged by incorrect power applicaon. Read and
carefully follow the installaon instrucons before connecng the system to its power source.

Important!
Configure and verify the PTP kit operaons first before you mount the unit in a
remote locaon.
You may need to install a lightning arrestor to protect your PTP kit from lightning.
For choosing the best locaon for your PTP choose an elevated locaon where
trees, buildings and large steel structures will not obstruct the antenna signals
and which offers maximum line-of-sight propagaon with the users.

Guide
Connect one end of your UTP or FTP Outdoor cat.5 Ethernet
cable with waterproof connector to the RJ-45 connector located
in the PTP unit. Then connect the other end of the cable to the
PoE injector.
For the Netkrom PoE, the recommended length of the Category 5
cable is up to 260 feet or 80 meters.
1. Remove the thin enclosure nut from the feedthru assembly.
This can be discarded. Loosen the compression nut completely

2. Insert the RJ45 connector through the feedthru assembly
3. Tighten the compression nut loosely to the feedthru assembly

4. Screw the enre feedthru assembly into the RJ45-ECS housing
which is already mounted in the PTP unit. There should be a
rubber gasket between the two assemblies. Tighten the
feedthru assembly to create a seal.
5. The final step is to ghten the compression nut unl the gaskets
are ght around the Cat5 cable. Always push the cable toward
the connector while ghtening to ensure good strain relief of
cable to connector.
Step 2:
From the PoE injector connect one cat.5 Ethernet cable to the radio
and another cat.5 cable to a switch or PC.
Step 3:
Connect the power cable supplied in the Netkrom PoE kit to the main
electrical supply and the power plug into the socket of the injector.
Now, turn on your power supply. Noce that the POWER LED has
lighted up. This indicates that the PTP unit is receiving power through
the Netkrom PoE Injector and that connecon between your AIRNET
PTP unit and your network has been established.
Note: Please use the PoE injector provided in the package. Using a
PoE with a different voltage rang will damage this product.

Mounng the AIRNET Outdoor
Bridge PTP in a Pole or Tower
The bracket in the illustraon side shows the normal orientaon which
allows the wireless unit to be pointed up towards the base staon
antenna. However, if you live somewhere that would require you poinng
the device down towards the base staon antenna (for example, you are
on the side of a mountain in view of the base staon antenna below),
reverse the bracket so the Netkrom wireless radio Unit can be “lted”
downward when you aim the AIRNET PTP in a later step.
Netkrom AIRNET PTP device can be mounted on the pole or tower as shown
in following:
1. Aach the mounng bracket to the back of the radio using the four hex
screws provided. (Do not over ghten the screws.)
Note Do not ghten the screws all the way because you will need to adjust the
AIRNET PTP direcon in a later step.
2. You can use the pipe bracket assembly for either thin or thick poles by just
inverng the posion of one of the elements as it shown on the right.
3. Mount the AIRNET PTP to the top of the pipe or other support and point
the AIRNET PTP in the approximate direcon of the base staon antenna,
then hand-ghten the nuts on the mounng system.

Using uConfig
When you execute the uConfig file you should see a window as it is
shown on the right side. Click yes to connue
The screen is divided into three secons. The top secon shows the
Ethernet adapter that is accessing the network device and the middle
poron shows the roung table associated with the Ethernet adapter.
In the lower window, a list of all uConfig compable devices on the
network is shown.
Highlight the device you desire to configure. Then click on the “Open
web” buon.
uConfig is a feature that provides the ability to directly access the AIRNET
PTP without the need to know absolutely its IP address. It may be run
directly from the product CD or installed on the user’s PC for later access.

If you don’t use the uConfig Ulity you need to establish Ethernet
connecon between your PC and the AIRNET PTP, by default the
AIRNET PTP has the IP address 192.168.168.1. Therefore, your PC must
be in the same network segment as the AIRNET PTP in order to get
Ethernet connecvity. The steps shown below are for Windows XP.
Step 1:
Go to Start buon, then go to My Network Places and finally
click on Network Connecons.
Right Click over your network adapter and select Properes.
Step 2:
Select the Internet Protocol Opon and then click in Properes.
Step 3:
Now configure the IP Address of your network adapter with
an IP in the same Network segment as your AIRNET PTP is as
it is shown in the picture, you don’t need to assign any
gateway address.
Press OK and then press the Close buon.
