Important notice
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which cannot guarantee the transmission
and reception of data in all conditions. While the delay or loss of signal is rare, you should not rely solely on
any wireless device for emergency communications or otherwise use the device in situations where the
interruption of data connectivity could lead to death, personal injury, property damage, data loss, or other
loss. Casa Systems accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from errors or delays in
transmission or reception, or the failure of the Casa Systems CFW-2132 to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and hazards
Warning
– Do not connect or disconnect cables or devices to or from the USB port, SIM card tray, or Ethernet port in hazardous
locations such as those in which flammable gases or vapours may be present, but normally are confined within closed
systems; are prevented from accumulating by adequate ventilation; or the location is adjacent to a location from which
ignitable concentrations might occasionally be communicated.

Overview
Introduction
This document provides allthe information required toconfigure and deploy the Casa Systems CFW-2132
antenna.
This User Guide relates to the CFW-2132’s physical components and its web user interface.
Normally only the installing technician would require access tothe CFW-2132’s web user interface, ifatall.
End users would not normally ever need toaccess this web user interface and would probably be unaware
of it.
Ordinarily a customer/end user’s connection tothe internet would be exclusively governed bythe settings
of their Wi-Fi Gateway,see Figure 3. Those settings would depend onthe model or brand of gateway, type
of connection, requirements of the service provider, etc. and are beyond the scope of this document.
Target audience
This document isintended for experienced hardware installers who understand telecommunications
terminology andconcepts.
Prerequisites
Before continuing with the installation ofthe CFW-2132 antenna please confirm that you have:
A WiFi-enabled device (laptop, tablet or smartphone) with the Google Chrome™ browser or the
Safari® browser.
read the entire Safety and product care section of this document and RF Exposure information.
You may also require other screws and fasteners depending on your circumstances.
Notation
The following symbols may be used in this document:

Power the CFW
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of connecting network devices through Ethernet cable where power
and data are passed along a single cable. It is therefore a convenient method of powering the CFW.
Note – The CFW Power supply is packaged and supplied separately.
R45 cable weather seal assembly
The CFW-2132 Antenna Power supply weather seal must be properly attached to prevent dust and water from
entering the CFW-2132 Antenna’s housing.
To connect Ethernet cable via the Power supply weather seal:
1Unscrew the weather cap and remove the rubber gasket.
2Separate the rubber seal and the ferrule.
Figure 13 - Rubber seal and ferrule
3Twist the neck for the seal counter-clockwise to remove it from the CFW-2132. You should now have 5
pieces of the weather seal.
Figure 14 - Weather seal in five parts
4Place the Ethernet cable through the nut first, as shown below.

6Place the rubber seal over the Ethernet cable with the wide end toward the RJ45 plug. See the image
below for the correct orientation.

11 Put the neck into the opening and turn the neck clockwise until it locks in place.
12 Push the rubber seal and ferrule into the neck then screw the nut on to the neck.
Figure 22 - Rubber seal and ferrule inserted into neck
13 Turn the nut clockwise to tighten it the washer seal against the housing. Continue turning the nut until
completely assembled. This will allow the washer seal to grip the cable while also applying enough
pressure to the washer seal to prevent dust and moisture entering the unit.

PoE-03 power supply
Use the PoE-03 power supply to power your CFW-2132:
1Connect the Antenna Power Supply (POE-03) to a dedicated AC power outlet away from running
water, steam and excessive heat.
aSwitch the outlet ON if required.
2Plug the end of the R45 Ethernet cable that does not have the weather-sealed plug into the R45 socket
named WALL on the PoE-03.
3Fasten the end of the R45 Ethernet cable that has the weather-sealed plug into the antenna power
supply port on the back of the antenna as per instructions in steps 11, 12 and 13 in the previous
section.
4The lights on the POE-03 injector housing will indicate whether the power supply is connected using
its LED indicator lights. When the POWER LED is red and ANTENNA LED is green, the CFW is correctly
powered and connected.
PoE-03 LED indicators
The table below describes the status of the POWER and ANTENNA LEDs on the PoE injector.
LED Status Description
POWER Solid red Antenna power supply is connected to AC power.
ANTENNA Solid green Antenna power supply is connected to AC power and the PoE port is
connected to the CFW.
