Introduction
Welcome to the LTE6101! This is a LTE subscriber station system
comprised of an outdoor unit (ODU) and an indoor unit (IDU).
The ODU has such features as a high gain antenna and advanced IP
networking while the IDU provides power to it.
How It Works
(1) The outdoor unit (ODU) connects to the LTE network and the indoor
unit (IDU).
(2) Connect the IDU to your computer/local area network.
Firmware Caution: When your ISP upgrades your device’s
firmware, all of the LEDs will flash simultaneously. Do not
turn off or unplug the device until they stop blinking.

Requirements
Make sure you have the following things before you start:
• INTERNET ACCESS: You need a SIM card from an LTE ISP
(Internet Service Provider). You may also need a PIN code to use
the SIM card.
• WEB BROWSER: Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, with
JavaScript enabled, or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions, or
Safari 2.0 and later versions. The browser will be used to access
the Internet and/or access the LTE Modem’s Web Configurator.
Installing the Outdoor Unit
Before you begin, ensure that you are familiar with all safety
and accident prevention procedures necessary for working at
heights and with electricity.
Do NOT install the ODU during a lightning storm.
Choose a Location
The ODU can be mounted on a pole or antenna mast or on a wall using
the supplied bracket mount.
• Choose a mounting point that is sturdy enough to hold the ODU,
even during high winds.
• When choosing a location to install the ODU, remember that the
ODU’s front panel should point towards your service provider’s

6
nearest base station. If you are not sure where this is, consult your
service provider.
• You do not need to be able to see the base station from the ODU’s
position; there may be objects such as trees and buildings in the
way without signal loss. However, if you experience difficulties with
signal reception, a Line of Sight (LoS) connection may produce
better results.
• It is suggested that you transport the ODU to its intended
installation location in its original protective packaging.
Insert a SIM Card to the SIM Card Slot
1. Twist the SIM card slot’s cover in counterclockwise direction to
remove it from the ODU.
2. Insert your SIM card.

3. Align and twist the cover in clockwise direction to tighten it into the
ODU.
Make sure the ODU is turned off before you insert your SIM
card. It is recommended to NOT connect the PoE cable before
you do this step. Otherwise, the SIM card may be damaged.
Connecting the ODU to the IDU
Lay a CAT5 Ethernet cable (not included) from your intended IDU
location to your intended ODU location.
• The maximum distance of CAT5 cable is limited to 100m (328 feet).
If you use cable extenders to cover a greater distance, signal
attenuation may result.
• If you intend to use cable ties or other methods to secure the cable,
do not tighten them yet. Leave the cable loose until you have
finished installing the IDU and ODU.

To connect the CAT5 Ethernet cable:
1. Separate the Body, Claw and Nut pieces into their individual
components.
2. Feed one end of the CAT5 Ethernet cable through the nut.
3. Open the claw then buckle it tightly to the cable.

4. Slip the body over the cable then connect the end of the cable to the
ODU.
5. Gently twist the body into the ODU behind the attached cable
connector.

6. Tightly secure the CAT5 Ethernet cable connector and the body and
claw with the nut.
Mount the ODU
See the installation instructions that came with your bracket mount for
information on mounting the ODU correctly.
To avoid the danger of rainwater entering the device, install the ODU
vertically (with a 90 degree angle to the ground).
You can install the LTE Modem vertically with a +15, 0, or -15 degree
angle relative to the pole. The connectors should be pointed down. The
following steps show you how to install it with a 0 degree angle.
