2 Preparing for Installation
To prevent device damage and physical injury, please read the safety recommendations carefully as described in this
chapter.
Suggestions do not cover all possible hazardous situations.
2.1 Lightning Protection
When the connection cable between the main grounding conductor and local equipotential earthing terminal board
(LEB) on each floor is shorter than 2 meters, use a stranded copper wire with a sectional area not less than 1.318
mm2(16 AWG) for the connection cable.
Use a shielded network cable if possible, ensure that devices connected to both ends of the shielded network cable
are reliably grounded, and make sure that the sheath of the shielded network cable is also grounded if possible. If no
shielded network cable is available, wire the network cable through a steel pipe and bury the steel pipe for lead-in,
and properly ground both ends of the steel pipe.
No additional lightning protector is required as a high-profile lightning protector is built in the RG-EST350 and the
antenna port and power port support 4kV lightning protection. If a lightning protector of a higher profile is available,
configure the lightning protector optionally. Before the configuration, connect the lightning protector to the ground
cable.
2.2 Installation Site
Do not expose the device to high temperature, dust, or harmful gases.
Do not install the device in an area prone to fire or explosions.
Keep the device away from EMI sources such as large radar stations, radio stations, and substations.
Do not subject the device to unstable voltage, vibration, and noises.
Keep the device at least 500 meters away from the ocean and do not face it towards the sea breeze.
The installation site should be protected from water and flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation.
The installation site should be selected according to network planning, communications equipment features and
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.
2.2.1 Temperature and Humidity
To ensure the normal operation and equipment service life, maintain appropriate temperature and humidity levels in the
equipment room. See Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Temperature and Humidity Requirement

-30°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F)

2.2.2 Outdoor Installation
RG-EST350 supports wall mounting and pole mounting.
2.2.3 EMI
Various interference sources, from either outside or inside the device or application system, affect the system in the
conductive ways such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, and electromagnetic radiation. There are two types of
electromagnetic interferences: radiated interference and conducted interference, depending on the type of the
propagation path. When the energy, often RF energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive component via the space,
the energy is known as radiated interference. The interference source can be either a part of the interfered system or a
completely electrically isolated unit. Conducted interference results from the electromagnetic wire or signal cable
connection between the source and the sensor. Interference along the cable the interference is transmitted from one unit
to another. Conducted interference often affects the power supply of the device, but can be controlled by a filter.
Radiated interference may affect any signal path in the device, and is difficult to shield.
Effective measures should be taken for the power system to prevent electric grid interference.
The working ground of the routers should be properly separated and kept as far as possible from the grounding
device of the power device or the anti-lightning grounding device.
Keep the device away from high-power radio transmitter, radar transmitting station, and high-frequency large-
current device.
Take electrostatic shielding measures.
2.3 Installation Tool

Tools
Marker, Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver, slotted screwdriver, drill, paper knife,
crimping pliers, diagonal pliers, wire stripper, network cable tester, related power and
fiber cables, wrench, hammer, hose clamp, ESD tools, multimeter
The tool kit is not shipped with RG-EST350. You need to prepare a tool kit.
2.4 Unpacking and Checking
Please check your goods carefully against the parts list. If you have any questions or there are any errors, please contact
your distributor.

3 Installing the Device
Before installing the device, make sure you have carefully read the requirements described in Chapter 2.
3.1 Installation Flowchart
3.2 Before You Begin
Before you install the device, verify that all the parts in the parts list are there and make sure that:
The installation site meets temperature and humidity requirements.
The installation site is equipped with a proper power supply.
Network cables are in place.
3.3 Precautions
The device can be mounted on a wall and a pole (diameter: 35 mm to 89 mm). If the diameter of the pole is out of the
range, the hose clamp is customer-supplied. In this case, we strongly recommend you to use a hose clamp with thickness
of 2.5mm at least. Otherwise, the device could fall down and cause injuries. When multiple bridges are installed at close
range, in order to avoid interference between bridges, the horizontal distance between two bridges should be 2m and the

vertical distance be 0.5m, or the horizontal angle of the two bridges should be greater than 120 degrees. The installation
site can vary due to on-the-spot surveys conducted by technical personnel.
Please make full preparations as described in Chapter 2 and observe the following precautions before installing the device.
Before connecting the power supply, please use the PoE adapter shipped with the device or use a PoE adapter with
the same specification.
Before connecting the power cord, make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
Make sure the power supply is properly connected.
3.4 Installing Device
Wall Mounting (connect the cable in advance)
1. Secure the mounting bracket on the wall.
2. Install the device to the mounting bracket.
Figure 3-1 Wall Mounting
Pole Mounting
1. Secure the mounting bracket to the pole by threading a clamp through the mounting bracket.
2. Install the device to the mounting bracket.
Figure 3-2 Pole Mounting
Assemble the mounting kit.
Adjust the orientation.
Drill holes into the marked
positions and insert wall anchors.
The head of the wall anchor should
be at least 10 mm above the wall
surface.

1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
The 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T is a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation port that supports auto MDI/MDIX.
Compliant with IEEE 802.3ab, 1000BASE-T requires Category 5e 100-ohm UTP or STP (STP is recommended) with a
maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
1000BASE-T requires all four pairs of wires be connected for data transmission, as shown in Figure A-1.
Figure A-1 1000BASE-T Connection
10BASE-T uses Category 3,4,5 100-ohm UTP/STP and 1000BASE-Tuses Category 5100-ohm UTP/STP for connections.
Both support a maximum length of 100 meters. Table A-1 shows 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T pin assignments.
