Connecting the Outdoor Unit
Powering the Outdoor Unit
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of connecting network devices through Ethernet cable where power and data are passed
along a single cable. It is therefore a convenient method of powering the OWA.
Note that POE-02 is packaged and supplied separately.
To power the OWA:
1. Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable (not included in the package) to the Ethernet port of the OWA then connect the
other end of the cable to the Ethernet port labelled “WALL” on the POE-02..
2. Use another Ethernet cable (not included in the package) to connect the indoor router to the “Router” port of the POE-02.
3. Connect the power cable to the POE-02 and then plug it in to an available wall socket. Examine the Power and ANTENNA
LEDs of the POE and compare them with the LED table below. When both the POWER and ANTENNA LEDs are solid
green, the OWA unit is correctly powered and connected.
