Step 1.
Unpack the mounting hardware from the box. Determine if this will be a pole or wall mount application.
The included Mounting kit is designed to support poles up to 3"in diameter as well as surface or wall mounting.
Step 3.
Slide the weather proof assembly over the cable so it can be
screwed into the enclosure gland. Make sure the rubber sealing
ring is in place as shown in step 2B.
Tighten the weather proof assembly into the enclosure and also
tighten the cap that squeezes the rubber washer over the Ethernet
cable as shown.
Step 2.
A. Route the RJ45 connectorized Ethernet cable through the
weather tight gland connection as shown at left.
Note: The slit rubber washer allows a pre-terminated
Ethernet cable to be used.
Once the cable has been routed through the weather
connection as shown above, push the split rubber gasket
into place and loosely screw the cap that goes over the
rubber washer.
B. Snap the RJ-45 connector in place as shown
A B
Step 4.
A. Connect one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the OUT
port of the Power Injection Module (PIM) and the other end
to LAN of the access point.
Maximum length of the RJ-45 CAT5 cable is 100 meters.*
B. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable attached to the PIM to a
network device, such as to a switch or to the PC you will use
to configure the access point.
C. Connect the power adaptor to the main electrical supply
and the power plug into the socket of the PIM.
PoE power input: Passive PoE (range 12 to 24 VDC)
* Up to 200mW radio. For higher power radio upgrade to higher rating
power adapter.

Shielded CAT 5 or better should be used for all out of plant Ethernet connection and should be properly grounded through the
PoE AC ground. Industrial grade shielded Ethernet cable is recommended to help prevent ESD damage commonly experienced
with outdoor installations. Visit www.comnet.net/comnet-products/cables
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the port labelled as IN on the power Injection Module to either a laptop or a PC LAN port.
2. Connect the second Ethernet cable from the OUT port on the Power Injection Module to the Netwave LAN port.
3. Apply 24VDC to the Power Injection Module with the provided power supply. You should notice the green LED illuminate in
the Power Injection Module and the power LED on the Netwave unit.
4. Set the IP address of the laptop being used to configure Netwave to static and the subnet to 192.168.10.x/24 subnet.
5. Point the browser to 192.168.10.101. This is the default address.
6. A login prompt will pop up. Enter:
ID: admin
Password: admin
7. Select the NETWORK SETTINGS tab and set the desired network settings.
Hit Apply Settings
Hit Save
NOTE: This will be the network address for the NetWave web server. It is not necessary to set to the same subnet as the
operating network but it is recommended.
8 Select the WIRELESS SETTINGS tab and set:
• Wireless mode – Set to AP or Client (Only need to do this on the NW1 and NW2 models)
• Country code – Only required if setting up the NW2 and NWK2 (ETSI) models
NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the correct country is chosen. ComNet accepts no liability for incorrectly set
up equipment.
• Output RF power – if RSSI is greater than 70, it is recommended to reduce RF TX power.
• Set SSID – if changing from the default setting
• Channel Spectrum Width – May want to reduce to 20M from the default 20/40M if the 5GHz spectrum is crowded
• Wireless Security – if changing from default settings
• Hit Apply Settings
• Hit Save

TYPICAL POINT-TO-POINT CONFIGURATION
TYPICAL POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT CONFIGURATION
NOTE: NW1 and NW2 Multipoint nodes will need to have the Wireless Mode set to either AP or Client (default is Client). And
the IP addresses will need to be all set to different addresses (default address is 192.168.10.101). Once this is done, all
the clients will connect to the multipoint AP with all other setting kept at default.
NOTE: NWK1 and NWK2 point to point kits have been set up at the factory and locked to each other. No need to set Wireless
Mode and may not need to set the IP address. These are designed to connect to each other once powered and properly
aligned.
