The CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem is a ruggedized subscriber device. It is waterproof and made
to handle wide temperature ranges. While primarily designed for use in fixed locations, it may also be
used in vehicular applications. It enables any Internet-ready device to connect to the xMax network,
when paired with a WiFi access point either wirelessly or through a wired Ethernet connection.
This manual provides basic instructions for installation and configuration of the CN3200 Modem. It
also describes how to connect to the xMax Network and then connect Internet-enabled wireless
devices to the xMax Network.
IMPORTANT
The CN3200 Modem is shipped with the parts needed for basic installation and operation. These
items are shown below. Be sure each of these items is included in your product package. If any item is
missing, please contact the place of purchase.
Depending upon the requirements of your installation, you will also need to purchase additional
components such as cables and surge protectors. A checklist of typically required parts is shown in
the Assemble Your Parts and Tools section on page 16.

The CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem provides any device connected to its Ethernet port access to
the xMAX network and xMax modem. When paired with a WiFi hotspot it provides access to the
xMAX network to WiFi enabled devices. Alternately, any Ethernet capable device can access the
network via the Ethernet port. The CN3200 Modem is totally protected against dust and moisture.
The CN3200 Modem is a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) device.
The IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard enables transmission of both data and the power to operate a
device over a single Cat5/5e/6 cable connection.
The CN3200 Modem REQUIRES a PoE++ adaptor, as supplied.
The device will NOT operate with a low-power PoE switch or adaptor.

Both top Tx RF ports MUST be properly terminated
before power is applied to the unit.
Applying power without proper RF port
termination might damage the unit
and void the product warranty.

The CN3200 Modem is a 2x4 MIMO device with four antenna connectors
—two Tx/Rx and two Rx-only.
All connectors are always used.
The CN3200 Modem is mounted directly to the back of the xMax 900 MHz panel antenna using
the supplied bracket.
If the recommended configuration is not used, CN3200 Modem should be placed as close as
possible to the antennas for optimum performance.
The antenna cable lengths should be as short as possible.
The installed 2.4 GHz antenna is separated from the main xMax antenna. It is mounted within
3 feet of the main unit and oriented in the same direction as the main 900 MHz antenna.
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
Low-loss cables (LMR® 195/240 or equivalent) are highly recommended.
For additional information, please refer to the antenna configuration illustrations in the
Antenna Configuration section on page 9.

These notices apply to the CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem.
Be sure to read, understand and follow these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Only use accessories and attachments specified by xG Technology.
Keep a copy of these instructions for future reference.
The CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem MUST only be installed by a professional installer. It is the
responsibility of the installer to adjust the transmit power level to ensure that the output power plus
antenna gain does not cause the device to exceed FCC Part 15 output power regulations.
Hazardous situation, which if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
All antennas MUST either be located on the exterior of a vehicle or mounted on a pole.
Every antenna MUST be separated from users by more than 25 cm (0.82 ft) at all times.
Shielded and grounded Ethernet cable MUST be used to avoid damage to the CN3200 Modem
unit and ensure proper operation.
Lightning Protection MUST be used on all antenna connections and Ethernet tower runs.
