Workplace. Main characteristics
• The device should not be placed amongst papers, magazines or other elements that could hinder natural air circu-
lation.
• Knocks and/or strong vibrations should be avoided during transport, operation and storage.
Warning
The electric current in power cables, telephone lines and communication cables is dangerous. To pre-
vent electric shocks, before installing, handling or opening the equipment covers, connect and discon-
nect the cables following the steps set forth in To Connect on page 11 andTo Disconnect on page 11.
3.3.1 Connecting the Power Supply
To connect the power supply to the router, please follow the steps set forth in To Connect on page 11.
Warning
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects, also affecting commu-
nications, the following is recommended:
All interconnected communication devices should be plugged to THE SAME GROUNDED POWER
OUTLET, which should at the same time be of good quality (lower than 10 ohms).
Whether the workplace is provided with an uninterrupted power supply system (UPS), regulated supply
or it is independent from the rest (such as lighting, etc.); it is highly recommended that all data devices
should be connected to the same power source. This will avoid operating and premature aging prob-
lems of drivers and other components.

Use minimum wire size of 16 AWG (1.29 mm/0.051 in Ø) copper conductors.
3.4 RST Button
The OA5725R routers have, on their front panel, a button that can be accessed from the outside and is labeled
“RST”. This button has two functions:
• To initiate a restart.
• To restart the device with the default configuration. The default configuration has IP 192.168.1.1 assigned to all the
switch ports.
The external button is physically protected, so it cannot be accidentally pushed. You need a sharp-edged object to
activate it.
3.4.1 Restarting the device
Follow these steps to restart the device:
(1) Press the RST button. Device restart is indicated by the 3 LEDs on the front panel lighting up in amber.
(2) Stop pressing the RST button as soon as the 3 LEDs on the front panel are lit up.

(3) The device will begin the restart with LEDs S and C off and LED L in green.
3.4.2 Default Configuration
Follow these steps to install the default configuration:
(1) Press the RST button. Device restart is indicated by the 3 LEDs on the front panel lighting up in amber.
(2) Keep pressing the RST button. The S LED will flash green while you are still pressing the RST button. This
state implies that the device configuration has changed to the default configuration.
(3) Stop pressing the RST button to allow the device to restart.
(4) The device will begin the restart with LEDs S and C off and LED L in green.
(5) As the device now has the default configuration, you can access it through the IP bearing in mind that the de-
fault address for the equipment is 192.168.1.1, and that it is accessible from any switch port.
3.5 Data Connections
The OA5725R router family has the following data connectors:
3.5.1 Ethernet Switch
The OA5725R family incorporates a 6 port Switch, 10/100 BaseT with automatic MDI/MDIX to connect to the LAN.
This has a 100 LED to indicate connection at 100 Mbps and a LNK LED indicating the physical connection.
Fig. 10: LAN switch ports (6)
3.5.2 Connecting the WWAN Antenna (RF connectors)
The OA5725R routers have two connectors for RF antennas. To assemble and disassemble the antennas, simply
screw them into the connectors labeled as RF1/RF2 (located on the front panel of the device).
The RF1 connector is connected to the module’s MAIN connector and the RF2 connector to the AUX connector in
the same module. This configuration means you can use diverse techniques to improve the quality of the radio con-
nection (valid for HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+ and LTE technologies).
Installing an antenna in the OA5725R routers is necessary to improve the quality of the signal received and transmit-
ted by the WWAN module (GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, etc.).
Fig. 11: WWAN antenna connectors
3 Components and Power Supply Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise
12 OA5725R Router

Caution
To get high-quality performance, the router must always have the WWAN antennas installed.
There are a series of accessories (dipole antennas, indoor antennas, roof mount antennas, extension cables, etc.)
that allow you to install the OA5725R routers in different locations.
3.5.2.1 Positioning the Antenna
The antenna orientation and its location with respect to other wireless devices and radiation devices, (such as com-
munication devices, personal computers, etc.), can influence significantly the device performance.
The antennas transmit and receive radio signals. Performance is also affected by environmental factors (such as the
distance between the device and the base station), physical obstacles and other interferences due to radio frequen-
cies (RF).
To achieve the best coverage, follow these steps:
• Whenever possible, place the antenna where there are no physical obstacles. Obstacles between the antenna and
the base station degrade the wireless signal. Place the antenna above ground level and steer it towards the
nearest base station.
• Density of materials also affects the antennas. Place them away from any type of wall, metal screens, mirrors, etc.
• Do not place the antenna near columns that can produce shadow areas and reduce the coverage zone.
• Keep the antenna away from metal pipes such as canals air-conditioning, etc.
• Please bear in mind that other wireless devices such as telephones, microwaves, etc., can temporarily interfere
with the quality of the wireless signal.
• We do not recommend that you install the antennas near or between racks containing communication devices,
computers, etc. Use an extension cable and place the antenna outside.
The following recommendations are applicable to all wireless devices:
• Do not touch or move the antenna while the device is transmitting or receiving.
• When the antenna is transmitting, do not touch any equipment that contains devices that radiate very close to, or
touching, any exposed part of the body (particularly face and eyes).
• Do not install the device in areas where the atmosphere is potentially explosive.
• Wireless devices can cause interference in other devices. Do not use the device in areas where medical equip-
ment is installed.
Note
Whenever the antenna connections are to be connected to any external/outdoor antennas: The shield
of the coaxial cable must be connected to earth (grounded) at the entrance to the building in accord-
ance with applicable national electrical installation codes. In the US, this is required by Article 820 of
the NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code).
3.5.3 Connecting ADSL/ADSL2+/VDSL (DSL connector)
The OA5725R router has a DSL connector that allows connection to an ADSL/ADSL2+/VDSL network. It is a 4-wire
female RJ11, and only the two middle ones are used for data transmission and reception.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise 3 Components and Power Supply
OA5725R Router 13

Fig. 12: DSL connector (ADSL & ADSL2+)
Note
The cable approvals may depend on the recommendations established in the country of installation of
equipment. The cable always must be 18 A WG or greater.
The Full Rate ADSL (ITU G.dmt or G.922.1) operating mode uses a higher transmission capacity that does not allow
the use of telephones directly connected to the same line. It is necessary to use a mechanism known as “splitter”,
which separates the band frequencies for voice telephony from those used by the ADSL connection to transmit data.
This way, interferences between the telephone service and ADSL service are avoided. The next figure shows a typic-
al installation with a splitter.
Fig. 13: ADSL installation with a splitter
The G. Lite (ITU G.922.2) operating mode uses reduced transmission power. It allows the telephones directly con-
nected to the same line to be used through the installation of a “micro-filter”. This device ensures that the ADSL sig-
nal does not reach the telephone, and that undesired signals generated by the telephone do not interfere with the
ADSL signal.
A typical installation with micro-filters is shown in Fig. 14 on page 15:
