Step 1
This User Guide provide information on the
installation instructions of the EPoynt-4 CPE.
Install your router into the CPE
•Carefully unscrew the bracket cap screws
using the provided 5mm allen key.

9Revision 2.0
•To access the router mounting plate,
carefully unscrew the cap screws at the
bottom of the CPE using the provided 3mm
allen key.
•Remove the mounting plate from the CPE
base by carefully unscrewing it using a
Philips screwdriver.
•Locate your router mounting holes and
align the holes with those of the mounting
plate. Secure the router onto the mounting
plate using the provided self-tapping
screws and/or cable ties.
Note: Your router dimensions should not
exceed 140mm x 120mm x 50mm.

10 Revision 2.0
•Connect the CPE’s antenna cables to the
respective connectors on the router (LTE
and/or Wi-Fi) using a suitable fly lead (sold
separately). Unused antenna cables should
be neatly wound and attached to the
antenna plate appropriately.
•Route an Ethernet cable through the bracket
and into the CPE’s base.

11 Revision 2.0
Note: If you are using a power supply to
power your router, route your power cable
through the bracket and into the central
hole in the middle of the CPE base.
•Connect the Ethernet cable from the CPE’s
base to the router port labelled “PoE” or to
any other router Ethernet port in case you
will be using a power supply to power your
router.
•Carefully insert a SIM card into the router’s
SIM slot.
•Connect the earthing cable to one of the
mounting points where the router is
fastened to the mounting plate.
•Carefully screw the mounting plate with the
already installed router back to the CPE
base.
SIM Card

12 Revision 2.0
•Carefully place the CPE cover to close the
CPE and screw the cap screws at the
bottom of the base firmly. Do not over-
tighten the screws, as this could strip the
plastics.
•Carefully screw the bracket back to the CPE
using the provided 5mm allen screw.

13 Revision 2.0
Step 2
Power your CPE
•Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable
protruding from the CPE’s bracket to the
port labelled “PoE” on the PoE adapter.
•Connect another network cable to the port
labelled “LAN” on the PoE adapter and
connect the other end of the cable to a
computer or to a WAN/LAN port of an
access point or switch.
•Plug the PoE adapter into an electrical
socket and check to see if the power light
on the PoE adapter is ON.
•Extend your router's power supply cable
using 0.70/0.75mm cabtyre and route it
along with your Ethernet cable through the
bracket.

14 Revision 2.0
Note:
Ensure that all RF/electrical connections made
outdoors are adequately waterproofed. Waterproof
connector boots are recommended.
Wall mount with wall knock-in screws.
•Select a suitable place for mounting the
CPE.
•Use a 6mm masonry drill bit to drill four
holes into the wall.
•Insert the four knock-in screws through
the bracket and into the drilled holes and
screw the CPE firmly into place.

15 Revision 2.0
Pole mount with supplied U-bolts or pipe
clamps.
•Select a suitable place for mounting the
CPE.
•Lay the CPE out at the installation site
and assemble the CPE on the ground.
•Place the pipe clamps or U-bolts through
the bracket as shown below.
•Place the pipe clamps around the pole
and tighten the screws on the pipe
clamps until the bracket is secured to the
pole. If you are using U-bolts, place the
U-bolts around the pole and tighten the
nuts until the bracket is secured to the
pole.
•Mount the CPE so that there is at least 1
meter of clearance in all directions
around it and unobstructed line of sight
to a cell tower.
•Route the cable straight down the inside
of the pole to avoid using extra
equipment such as cable ties.

16 Revision 2.0
a) Surface mount with supplied surface mount
gasket.
•Select a suitable surface for mounting
the CPE.
•Remove the CPE bracket by unscrewing
the cap screws on the bracket using the
provided 5mm allen key.
•Use a 6mm masonry drill bit to drill four
holes into the surface. Drill another hole
into your surface to route your Ethernet
cable through. Use the below
dimensions.
•Carefully place the gasket at the back of
the CPE base and route the Ethernet
cable through the gasket hole. If you are
using a power supply to power your
router, route the power cable along with
the Ethernet cable through the gasket
hole.

17 Revision 2.0
•Route the Ethernet cable from the gasket
through the drilled central hole and then
carefully screw the CPE onto the surface
using appropriate M6 machine screws.
b) Surface mount using optional bracket (BRKT-
038) and MISC 103 Kit - NOT provided.
•Select a suitable position for mounting
the CPE.
•Remove the CPE bracket by unscrewing
the cap screws on the bracket using the
provided 5mm allen key.
•Carefully unscrew the cap screws at the
CPE base using the provided 3mm allen
key.
•Remove the router mounting plate from
the CPE base by carefully unscrewing it
using a Philips screwdriver.
•Thread the first locking nut onto the
bracket (BRKT-038) followed by the seal.

18 Revision 2.0
•Place the CPE base followed by the
second locking nut over BRKT-038 and
tighten the CPE base firmly into place.
Do not over-tighten the nuts, as this
could crack the CPE base.
•Route the Ethernet cable through the
CPE base.
•Screw the router mounting plate with the
already installed router back to the CPE
base.
•Carefully place the CPE cover to close the
CPE and screw the cap screws at the
bottom of the base firmly. Do not over-
tighten the screws, as this could strip the
plastics.

19 Revision 2.0
•Mount your CPE to a suitable horizontal rail.
Note: The installer should ensure that the
BRKT-38 cable entry hole is adequately
waterproofed to maintain the CPE’s IP
rating. Additionally, should the thread of the
marine mount bracket protrude too far into
the CPE, make use of the locking nuts to
raise the CPE base on it.
•Place the CPE at the highest point possible
and ensure that there aren't any surrounding
obstructions.
•In order to avoid communication interference,
ensure that the CPE is placed at least 0.5m
away from other antennas and metal objects.

20 Revision 2.0
•Avoid installing the antenna near a chimney,
as the smoke and soot emitted by the
chimney can obstruct the signal level
achieved by the CPE’s antenna.
•Install the CPE away from heat sources and
flammable gases.
•If the CPE is mounted on a pole, avoid
wrapping the Ethernet cable around the
pole. Route the cable straight down the
inside of the pole to avoid using extra
equipment such as cable ties.
•Never pull on the cable connectors; pull
only on the cable ensuring the cable is not
under tension.
•Cover connectors with insulation tape
before threading them through a hole.
Note: The water drip loop is for preventing water from running
down from the CPE along the cable into the house and possibly
the PC or router.
