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-2182 to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and hazards
Warni
ng – 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 all the information required to configure and deploy the Casa Systems CFW-2182
antenna.
This User Guide relates to the CFW-2182’s physical components and its web user interface.
Normally only the installing technician would require access to the CFW-2182’s web user interface, if at all.
End users would not normally ever need to access this web user interface and would probably be unaware
of it.
Ordinarily a customer/end user’s connection to the internet would be exclusively governed by the settings of
their Wi-Fi Gateway, see Figure 3. Those settings would depend on the 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 is intended for experienced hardware installers who understand telecommunications
terminology and concepts.
Prerequisites
Before continuing with the installation of the CFW-2182 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.
