Warnings
•Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
•NETKROM shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the furnishing,
performance, or use of this manual.
•Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come
into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death.
•Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
•To meet regulatory restrictions, the radio and the external antenna must be professionally installed. The
network administrator or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit must
be a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be password

Kit Point to Point
Take a moment to ensure you
have all of the following parts
in your Outdoor Waterproof
Unit installation kit before you
begin installing the product. If
any parts are missing, please
contact your local vendor or

Setup Requirements
Before starting, please verify that the
following is available:
•CAT5/5e or FTP Outdoor Ethernet
cable (from the CPE to PoE Injector)
•At least one computer is installed with
a Web browser and a wired or wireless
network interface adapter
•TCP/IP protocol is installed and IP
address parameters are properly
configured on all your network’s nodes
Important!
•Configure and verify the CPE
operations first before you mount the
unit in a remote location.
•You may need to install a lightning
arrestor to protect your CPE from
lightning.
•For choosing the best location for your
CPE choose an elevated location
where trees, buildings and large steel
structures will not obstruct the antenna
signals and which offers maximum
line-of-sight propagation with the
users.

AIRNET CPE
Installation
Step 1:
Connect one end of your UTP or FTP
Outdoor cat.5 Ethernet cable with
waterproof connector to the RJ-45
connector located in the CPE. Then connect
the other end of the cable to the PoE
injector.
For the Netkrom PoE, the recommended
length of the Category 5 cable is up to 260
feet or 80 meters.
1.- Remove the thin enclosure nut
from the feedthru assembly. This
can be discarded. Loosen the
compression nut completely
2.- Insert the RJ45 connector thru
the feedthru assembly
3.- Tighten the compression nut
loosely to the feedthru assembly
enclosure nut

compression nut

4.- Screw the entire feedthru assembly into
the RJ45-ECS housing which is already
mounted in the CPE. There should be a
rubber gasket between the two assemblies.
Tighten the feedthru assembly to create a
seal.
5.- The final step is to tighten the
compression nut until the gaskets are tight
around the Cat5 cable. Always push the
cable toward the connector while tightening
to ensure good strain relief of cable to
connector.
Step 2
From the PoE injector connect one cat.5
Ethernet cable to the radio and another cat.5
cable to a switch or PC.
Step 3
Connect the power cable supplied in the
Netkrom PoE kit to the mainelectrical supply
and the power plug into the socket of the
injector. Now, turn on your power supply.
Notice that the POWER LED has lighted up.
This indicates that the CPE is receiving
power through the NetkromPoE Injector and
that connection between your CPE and your
network has been established.
Note: Please use the PoE injector provided in
the package. Using a PoE with a different
voltage rating will damage this product.

Mounting the Outdoor
CPE in a Pole or Tower
Netkrom CPE device can be mounted on the
pole or tower as shown in following:
1.-Attach the mounting bracket to the back
of the CPE using the three hex screws
provided. (Do not over tighten the screws.)
Note:The bracket in the illustration side
shows the normal orientation which allows
the CPE to be pointed up towards the base
station antenna. However, if you live
somewhere that would require you pointing
the CPE down towards the base station
antenna (for example, you are on the side of
a mountain in view of the base station
antenna below), reverse the bracket so the
Netkrom CPE Unit can be “tilted”
downward when you aim the CPE in a later
step.

uConfig is a feature that provides the ability to directly access the CPE without the need to know absolutely its
IP address. It may be run directly from the product CD or installed on the user’s PC for later access.
Using uConfig
When you execute the uConfig file you
should see a window as it is shown on the
right side. Click yes to continue
The screen is divided into three sections. The
top section shows the Ethernet adapter that is
accessing the network device and the middle
portion shows the routing table associated
with the Ethernet adapter. In the lower
window, a list of all uConfig compatible
devices on the network is shown.
Highlight the device you desire to configure.
