Prerequisites
Ethernet and Backhaul (B/H) Requirements
For optimum performance regarding backhaul bandwidth requirements and specific
firewall settings, please refer to the User Guide.
GPS Signal
The eFemto requires a strong GPS signal from the provided indoor GPS antenna. For
installation other than with the provided GPS antenna, please refer to the online 4G
LTE Network Extender for Enterprise User Guide.
Placement
The eFemto can be installed: vertically or horizontally on a wall, floor, or ceiling. Place
the unit at least 10 feet away from products that generate electromagnetic radiation
(e.g., microwave oven).
1. Identify a location for the eFemto, central to users, but no more than 21 feet
from an exterior window or wall to allow for a strong GPS signal.
2. Identify a power source for the eFemto.
3. Follow device mounting, installation, and power up steps.
Mounting Procedure
The package contains screws and anchors for drywall mounting. Installation on
alternate surfaces will require the purchase of the appropriate anchors and
hardware.
1. Determine the mounting location and verify that no wires, pipes, etc., are
directly behind or in the wall at the point of mounting.
2. Use the wall mounting bracket to act as a template to mark anchor holes
on the wall.
3. Drill holes into drywall and push in the supplied plastic drywall anchors.
Installation on surfaces other than drywall may require different anchoring
hardware which can be purchased at your local hardware store.
4. Align the mounting bracket with the wall anchors and attach using the supplied
screws (4 x No.10 1” length with fastener).
5. Slide the eFemto with mounting bracket into the wall mountingbracket.
6. Fasten retaining screws (Self-tapped screw,1018 harden, PA4*25, Phillips 2#,
Color-Zn plating) on the side of the bracket.
7. When power is supplied through the PoE port, the PoE power source should
meet Class 4 and Class 5 requirements.
