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.

CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 1.0
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.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

operation. It will broadcast on the configured channel. The CN3200 Modem will provide any Internet-
ready device the ability to connect wirelessly to the xMax network, using a secure connection on a
connected WiFi router.
Devices may also be connected to the xMax network through a wired Ethernet connection to the
CN3200 Modem. For more information,
see Wired Internet Connectivity and Setting Up a WiFi Hotspot on page 22.
NOTES
This procedure should be completed before installing the CN3200 Modem in a service location.
The setup sequence assumes that the CN3200 Modem device is in factory-default
configuration and has not been previously configured.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU CONTINUE
Antennas or dummy loads MUST be connected to the two top Tx RF ports.
Both Tx RF ports MUST be properly terminated
before power (PoE) is applied to the unit.
Applying power without proper RF port
termination might damage the unit
and void the product warranty.
The CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem is powered through the Ethernet cable. PoE (Power-over-
Ethernet) is a standardized system which passes electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling.
After terminating the Tx RF ports, connect the provided PoE++ Power Supply as shown:
