Outdoor Gateway Quick Installation Guide

Introduction
This Quick Installation Guide covers the basic installation of the Outdoor Gateway.
Overview The Outdoor Gateway is a WiiMAX subscriber station designed to provide Internet access for a home or
small office. The Outdoor Gateway includes an outdoor unit (ODU) connected to a supply unit (IDU). The ODU
provides the WiMAX Internet link, and the IDU serves as the gateway for a local Ethernet wired.
The indoor unit includes:
• One standard RJ-45 Ethernet port for LAN connections.
• One 8 PIN RJ-45 Ethernet port for connection to the ODU. This cable provides a dedicated Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
power supply to the ODU, as well as a data link between the ODU and the IDU. The IDU should be connected to an AC
power connection.
Installing the ODU
Before installing the ODU, verify that you have all the items listed in the package checklist. If any of the items are missing
or damaged, contact your WiMAX service provider.
Selecting a Location
The ODU should be pole-mounted outdoors and aligned so its antenna faces the nearest WiMAX base station.
When selecting a suitable location for the unit, consider these guidelines:
• Place the ODU as high as possible to achieve the best possible link quality.
• Place the ODU away from power and telephone lines.
• Avoid placing the ODU too close to any metallic reflective surfaces.
• Be sure to ground the ODU with an appropriate grounding wire (not included) by attaching it to the grounding screw on
the unit and to a good ground connection.
