AIRNET Outdoor Bridge
Point to Point
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 AIRNET Outdoor
Bridge unit. 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 AIRNET Outdoor Bridge
unit . 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 AIRNET Outdoor
Bridge unit is receiving power through the
NetkromPoE Injector and that connection
between your AIRNET Outdoor Bridge unit
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 AIRNET
Outdoor Bridge in a
Pole or Tower
Netkrom AIRNET Outdoor Bridge device
can be mounted on the pole or tower as
shown in following:
1.- Attach the mounting bracket to the back
of the radio using the four hex screws
provided. (Do not over tighten the screws.)
Note:The bracket in the illustration side
shows the normal orientation which allows
the wireless unit to be pointed up towards
the base station antenna. However, if you
live somewhere that would require you
pointing the device 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 wireless radio Unit can be “tilted”
downward when you aim the AIRNET
Outdoor Bridge in a later step.
2.- You can use the pipe bracket assembly
for either thin or thick poles by just inverting
the position of one of the elements as it
shown on the right.
Note: Do not tighten the screws all the way
because you will need to adjust the AIRNET
Outdoor Bridge direction in a later step.
4.- Mount the AIRNET Outdoor Bridge to
the top of the pipe or other support and point
the AIRNET Outdoor Bridge in the
approximate direction of the base station
antenna, then hand-tighten the nuts on the
mounting system.

your PC must be in the same network segment as the AIRNET Outdoor Bridge is to get Ethernet connectivity.
Step 1
Go to Start button, then go to My Network
Places and finally click on Network
Connections.
Right-Click over your network adapter and
select Properties.
Step 2
