Installation Considerations
Mounting Height: For optimum performance, make sure a clear line of sight between the
transmitter and receiver. An elevated location is recommended. Obstacles like trees,
buildings and large steel structures will weaken the wireless signal.
Orientation: Make sure the transmitter and receiver is installed face-to-face to achieve
maximum performance.
FAQs
Q: Do I need a power supply for the transmitter/receiver?
A: No, you don’t. The transmitter/receiver is powered by 48V POE. Use a CAT5e/CAT6
cable, connect the WAN port to a 48V POE network switch or a 48V POE injector
supplied. Connect the LAN port to the network device.
Q: How to reset the device?
A: Press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds when power is on.
Q: I configured the AP as network bridge. How can I test the connection?
A: You can ping both the transmitter and receiver.
For example, if the transmitter address is 192.168.10.1 and those of receiver is
192.168.10.2:
i. Change the IP address of the PC to 192.168.10.xx where xx=3 to 255. Change the
subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
ii. Ping the receiver side first (because the receiver is connected to the PC):
In Command mode, type: ping 192.168.10.2 <ENTER>
If the connection is successful, it will reply as follow:
Pinging 192.168.10.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.10.2: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.10.2: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.10.2: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.10.2: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Ping statistics for 192.168.10.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms
Note: Make sure 0% loss as the receiver is connected to the PC direct, it should get
100% hit rate (0% loss).
The connection between the PC and the receiver is established.
Now test the connection between the transmitter and receiver:

iii. In Command mode, type: ping 192.168.10.1 <ENTER>
If the connection is successful, it will reply as follow:
Pinging 192.168.10.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.10.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Reply from 192.168.10.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Ping statistics for 192.168.10.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms
Note: The ideal case is to have 100% hit rate (0% loss). If not, adjust the CPE’s
orientation, height and distance to achieve the best performance.
You can also test the connection continuously by typing: ping 192.168.10.1 -t <ENTER>
Press Ctrl-C to stop testing.
Type exit to return to Windows platform.
