Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This 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

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
To avoid the possibility of exceeding radio frequency exposure limits, you shall beep a distance of at
least 100cm between you and the antenna of the installed equipment. This transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country
dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The
firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes safety precautions and product information you have to know and check before
installing the WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge.
Preparation before Installation
Professional Installation Required
Please seek assistance from a professional installer who is well trained in the RF installation and
knowledgeable in the local regulations.
Safety Precautions
1. To keep you safe and install the hardware properly, please read and follow these safety
precautions.
2. If you are installing the WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge for
the first time, for your safety as well as others’, please seek assistance from a professional
installer who has received safety training on the hazards involved.
3. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site, especially
where there are electric power and phone lines.
4. When installing the CPE, please note the following things:
Do not use a metal ladder;
Do not work on a wet or windy day;
Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.
5. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of it. Strong RF fields are present
when the transmitter is on.

Installation Precautions
To keep the WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge well while you are
installing it, please read and follow these installation precautions.
1. Users MUST use a proper and well-installed grounding and surge arrestor with the CPE;
otherwise, a random lightening could easily cause fatal damage to the unit. EMD (Lightning)
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRNTY.
2. Users MUST use the “Power cord & POE Injector”shipped in the box with the CPE. Use of
other options will likely cause damage to the unit.
3. Users MUST power off the WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge
first before connecting the external antenna to it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the
external antenna from WEB management without physically attaching the external antenna onto
the CPE; otherwise, damage might be caused to the device itself.

Note:

Clamp
Power Cord & POE Injector
Users MUST use the “Power cord & POE Injector”shipped in the box with the
WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge. Use of other
options will likely cause damage to the unit.
Warning:

Hardware Installation
Connect up
1. The bottom of WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge is a movable
cover. Loosen the screw with a Philips screwdriver. Grab the cover and pull it back harder to
take it out as the figure shown below.
Figure 3 Move the Cover
2. Plug a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port labeled “LAN 1”. Do not plug the cable into
the RJ45 port labeled “LAN 2”.
Figure 4 Cable Connection

The secondary Ethernet port (labeled LAN 2) is for WAB-6120 integration. To use it you need to
enable the secondary port in advance before connecting with the WAB-6120 from the CPE’s
Web Management as shown below.
3. Take out the power cord and POE injector from the gift box, and plug the power cord into the DC
port of the POE injector as the below picture shows.
Figure 5 Connect to POE Injector
4. Put what in the Step.2 and Step.3 together by plugging the other side of the Ethernet cable in
the Step.2 into the POE port of the POE injector in the Step.3. When you finish the Step.4, the
set will be like the following picture:

Figure 6 Plug the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 jack of the injector
5. Press the black PWR button beside the LAN 1 Ethernet port.
6. Attach and fasten the removable cover to the bottom of the unit with the screw.
7. Power on the WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge by plugging
the power adapter to the power socket.

Using the External Antenna
The WAB-5120 300Mbps 5G Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point/Bridge provides two reverse SMA
antenna connectors if you prefer to use the external antenna for your application instead of the built-in
directional antenna, please follow the steps below.
1. Remove the two plugs as circled below:
2. Connect your external antenna to the SMA-type connectors at the bottom of the CPE.
Users MUST power off the CPE first before connecting the external antenna to it. Do
not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB management
without physically attaching the external antenna onto the CPE; otherwise, damage
might be caused to the unit itself.
Follow the steps described in Connect Up to finish the installation.
