Mounting
The device is to be mounted vertically so that the Ethernet cable points downwards.
Mounting and configuration of this device should be done by a qualified person.
If you wish to tighten the device to a pole, you can do it with the provided mounting
loops. The device comes bundled with two mounting loops – guide the loops around the
device through the provided edge markings, and around the pole where it will be
mounted. An electric tape can be used to increase friction between materials use it
between clamps and the mounting surface. It will help to hold the device in place.
The mounting hose clamp is provided with the package.
1. Guide hose clamp through the opening on the back of the device.
2. Attach to the pole or mast.
3. Align and secure by hose clamp screw using PH2 screwdriver.
* The device should be placed by antenna facing upwards.
You should avoid connecting a loose Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port, secure the
cable to a wall or the pole, so that the cable weight is not pulling the port. It is
recommended to secure the Ethernet cable less than 2m from the device. This is to
ensure that the cable doesn't damage the port by its weight or doesn't fall out.
When mounting, please ensure that cable feed is pointing downwards.
The IP rating scale of this device is IP54. We recommend using Cat6 shielded
cables.
Warning! This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20 cm between the device and your body. Operation of this
equipment in the residential environment could cause radio interference.
