1 Overview
1.1 Product Introduction
HUAWEI eA660 is a piece of customer premises equipment (CPE) that functions as the long
term evolution (LTE) wireless gateway. It implements the conversion between LTE wireless
data and wired Ethernet data and supports data backhaul. The eA660 series can be used
independently and deployed outdoors.
The eA660 supports the LTE R8 standards and provides the following services:
zData services
The eA660 series uses LTE broadband technologies to support high-speed broadband
network access, data backhaul, and video surveillance.
zSmall-scale local area network (LAN)
The eA660 series can connect to external concentrators and Ethernet switches or routers
to set up a LAN with multiple computers. When terminal devices on the LAN connect to
the eA660 using network cables, the terminal devices can provide data services.
zSecurity services
The eA660 series supports the firewall and PIN password, which protects your
computers when you access the Internet.
zFirewall services
The eA660 series supports the following firewall services:
−Firewall enabling or disabling: enables or disables firewalls.
−Media access control (MAC) address filtering: prevents certain MAC addresses from
accessing the computers on a LAN.
−IP address filtering: blocks certain IP addresses from accessing the local computers.
−URL filtering: prevents computers from accessing certain URLs.
zLocal and remote management and maintenance
The eA660 series can be locally configured in the local city to implement device
management and network configuration, thereby ensuring stable operation of the device.

zThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
zFCC Caution To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate this equipment.
zFCC Radiation Exposure Statement To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in
section 1.1307, a minimum separation distance of 20cm is required between the antenna
and all public persons.
1.2 Application Scenarios
The eA660 provides wireless broadband and wired Ethernet data services.
The eA660 is deployed outdoors and provides wireless gateway services. The eA660 can be
deployed independently or used in conjunction with the eA100, which is deployed indoors
and connected to the eA660 using a network cable, enabling the eA660 to provide Wi-Fi and
other Internet services.
For details about the eA100, see the eLTE2.1 eA100 Series CPE Product Description.
Figure 1-1 shows an application scenario in which the eA660 is used with the eA100.

1. Use a power adapter to supply power for the eA660 or video camera, as shown in Figure
1-3.
Figure 1-3 The eA660 connected to a video camera.
2. Use a network cable to connect the eA660 to an external device. If the eA660 connects
to a single device, connect the power adapter directly to the eA660. If the eA660
connects to multiple devices, connect the power adapter to a Hub or switch and then to
the eA660, as shown in Figure 1-4.
