3 Installation order
This section describes the safety measures, installation procedure and process of turning WB-15-W on.
3.1 Safety rules
Do not open the device case. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Do not install the device during a thunderstorm. There is a risk of lightning stroke.
You must follow requirements for voltage, current and frequency specified in the user manual.
Measuring devices and computer must be grounded before connecting to the device. The electric potential
differnce between devices' cases should not exceed 1 V.
Make sure that all the cables are intact and they are reliably attached to connectors.
You should satisfy established standards and requirements for working at height during the device
installation on the high-rise constructions.
The device exploitation should be performed by speciallyprepared engineering and technical personnel.
Connect only to operational service equipment.
3.2 Installation recommendations
The recommended installation: communications mast/pole/wall.
Before you install and enable device, check the device for visible mechanical defects. If defects are
observed, you should stop the device installation, draw up corresponding act and contact the supplier.
Install the device on communications mast/pole/wall in the way that the Ethernet port is pointed down.
During the device installation to provide Wi-Fi coverage area with the best characteristics take into account
the following rules:
Install the device in the center of the intended wireless coverage area;
Do not install the device near (about 2 m) electrical and radio devices.
Use of radio phones and other devices, which work at 2.4 GHz, within the range of your Wi-Fi wireless
network is not recommended;
Obstacles in the form of glass/metal constructions, brick/concrete walls, water cans and mirrors can
significantly reduce Wi-Fi action radius.
When mounting the device, you should pay attention to the location of the towers of the cellular base
stations of providers whose SIM cards will be used in the device, and place the device as close to them as
possible (or, if you use a sector antenna, direct the antenna to the base station).
3.3 WB-15-W mounting
3.3.1 Pre-tuning
Before installing, proceed pre-tuning of the device:
Insert 1 or 2 SIM cards into the slot (as shown in the figure below). SIM1 is active by default.

Connect the power supply (points 3, 4 in the Installation procedure section).
Ensure the 3G/4G network is available: RSSI indicators should be on (network connection will occur 1-2
minutes after the device boots up).
Configure the device: follow the algorithm from the Configuration example section.
Mounting algorithm
Attach the bracket to the device with the screws provided, as shown in the figure below.
Install the device on communications mast/pole pointing Ethernet port down as it is shown on the figure
below. Attach the device using clamps supplied in the device package. Comply the safety rules and
recommendations given in Safety rulesandInstallation recommendations.
Please note that for the device to automatically connect to the mobile network, a SIM card must be
inserted into the device before power is supplied to it.

Close the bottom cover.
Connect the OMNI antennas to the device. If using a sector antenna, connect it using cable assemblies.
Adjust the position of the antenna so that it faces toward the base station.
Connect Ethernet cable of your WB-15-W to LAN port of PoE injector (Passive PoE 24V) If the device is
connected to a DC power supply, if you need to connect to the switch, make sure that PoE is disabled on it.
If you using PoE injector connect it to 220 V power supply network using the cable.
To avoid damage to the device, it is recommended to use lightning protection!

R- indicates that the route was most likely created by a dynamic routing protocol running on the local
system using the reinstate parameter;
D- indicates that the route was added as a result of receiving an ICMP Redirect Message. When the
system learns the route from the ICMP Redirect message, the route will be added into the routing
table in order to exclude redirection of the following packets intended for the same destination.
M– means that the route was modified – likely by a dynamic routing protocol running on a local
system with the 'mod' parameter applied;
A- points to a buffered route to which an entry in the ARP table corresponds.
C – means that the route source is the core routing buffer;
L - indicates that the destination of the route is one of the addresses of this computer. Such «local
routes» exist in the routing buffer only.
B – means that the route destination is a broadcasting address. Such 'broadcast routes' exist in the
routing buffer only.
I- indicates that the route is connected to a ring (loopback) interface for a purpose other than to
access the ring network. Such 'internal routes' exist in the routing buffer only.
! – means that datagrams sent to this address will be rejected by the system.

In the «Mobile network» submenu you can view the current status and parameters of the connection to the mobile
network.
