No device is connected to the Base Station in a wireless manner, or the received
signal strength does not reach the minimum value (-90dBm by default) for any LED
indicator to light up.
4. Connect the other side of the RF coaxial cables to the
connectors of the antenna.
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the metal strap by turning the screw
counter-clockwise.
2. Straighten out the end of the metal strap, and thread it through the
back of the Base Station. Then wrap the metal strap around the
pole, and tighten the strap by turning the screw clockwise using
the screwdriver.
3. Remove the plastic screw caps on the RP-SMA connectors of the
Base Station.
4. Connect one side of two RF coaxial cables (enclosed with the
antennas) to the RP-SMA connectors of the Base Station.
5. Connect the other side of the RF coaxial cables to the connectors
of the antenna.
Connect the GND terminal of the Base Station to a grounding
terminal conencted the earth or building to protect the Base Station
from overvoltage and overcurrent caused by lightning and ESD.
1. Connect one side of a grounding cord to the included grounding
screw.
2. Conenct the grounding screw to the GND terminal of the Base
Station, and tighten it.
3. Connect the other side of the grounding cord to the grounding
terminal connected to the earth or building.
2. Remove the plastic screw caps on the RP-SMA connectors of
the Base Station.
3. Connect one side of two RF coaxial cables (enclosed with the
antennas) to the RP-SMA connectors of the Base Station.
1. Press the handle on the mounting bracket, align the four hooks on
the rear panel of the Base Station with the four slots on the
bracket, and slide the Base Station to fix it onto the bracket.
The Base Station in AP mode can provide WiFi network, allowing
home users or small office users to connect to the WiFi network with
outdoor long range CPEs. The Base Station can work with some
IP-COM CPEs. MS-5AC is used for illustration here.
Q1: I cannot log in to the web UI of the Base Station by entering
192.168.2.1. What should I do?
A1: Try the following methods:
• Ensure that the Base Station has been connected to the power source
and the computer properly.
• Ensure that the IP address of the computer is set to 192.168.2.X (X
ranges from 2 to 254 and is unused).
• Restore the Base Station to factory settings.
Stronger signal strength (-60 dBm is better than -70 dBm), less background
noise (-100 dBm is better than -90 dBm), and fast transmit/receive speed
lead to better bridging signal.

Q2: How to reset the Base Station?
A2: Note: Resetting the Base Station clears all settings, and you need to
configure it again.
Method 1: When the Power LED indicator lights solid on, hold down the
Reset button for about 8 seconds, then release it when all the
LED indicators light up. The Base Station is reset successfully.
Method 2: Log in to the web UI of the Base Station, choose Tools >
Maintenance, and click the Reset button.
Q3: How to check that the Base Station is under the best connection
status ?
A3: Method 1: Observe the signal strength LED indicators of the Base
Station. The connection quality reaches the best when the
LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of the Base Station light solid
on or blink.
Method 2: Log in to the web UI of the Base Station (the default IP address
is 192.168.2.1), check the bridging status in Status >
Wireless Status.
Q4. The automatic bridging fails. What should I do?
A4: Try the following solutions:
• Peer-to-peer bridging: If the peer-to-peer bridging fails, reset the Base
Station and CPE to factory settings, and try again.
• Peer-to-multiple peers bridging: After peer-to-peer bridging succeeds,
ensure that the rest CPEs are powered on within 30 minutes. If the
problem persists, reset the Base Station and all CPEs, and try again.
Q5. When the bridging succeeds, the LED1, LED2, and LED3 indicators
do not light up or only some of them do. What should I do?
A5: Try the following solutions:
• Place the Base Station and the CPE in an elevated location with few
obstacles nearby.
• Make slight direction adjustment of the Base Station by moving it
vertically and horizontally. Change the direction with an interval of 20 -
30 s each time in order to observe the change of LED1, LED2 and LED3
indicators until the best signal is received.
Step 1: Prepare a Base Station and 20 CPEs (MS-5AC), and put all
MS-5AC near the Base Station.
Step 2: Choose one MS-5AC to perform peer to peer bridging with
the Base Station.
1. Place the Base Station and the MS-5AC next to each other.
2. Remove the covers of the Base Station and MS-5AC, and use
Ethernet cables to connect their PoE/LAN ports to the PoE
ports of the PoE injectors.
3. Use the included power cords to connect the PoE injectors to
power sources. The PoE/LAN LED indicators of the Base
Station and MS-5AC light up.
About 1 minute later, when the LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of
the Base Station light solid on and those of the CPE keep blinking,
the automatic bridging succeeds. The DHCP servers of the Base
Station and MS-5AC are disabled. MS-5AC works in Client mode
and its IP address is changed to 192.168.2.2.
After the bridging succeeds, the DHCP servers of the CPEs are
disabled, and the IP addresses of CPEs working in Client mode
are all changed into 192.168.2.2.
Option 2: Manual bridging
Refer to the configuration procedures in Scenario 1: PtP
backhaul connection with dish antennas to set the Base
Station to the AP mode, and set all MS-5AC to Client mode.
Step 3: Within 30 minutes after the peer-to-peer bridging succeeds,
power other MS-5AC on.
Step 4: About 1 minute later, if the LED1, LED2, and LED3 of these
CPEs keep blinking, the bridging succeeds.
Tips
The Base Station can work with the dish, sector or other antenna (purchased separately). If you purchase the IP-COM antenna, or this
Base Station fits to the bracket of the antenna you purchased, you can choose bracket mounting to install the Base Station; otherwise,
you can choose pole mounting.
Tips
• Automatic bridging is only applicable when the Base Station
and CPE are in factory settings.
• Ensure that only the Base Station and one CPE are powered
on when performing peer-to-peer bridging. Otherwise, the
peer-to-peer bridging may fail.
• For peer-to-multiple peers bridging, perform peer-to-peer
bridging first, and then power on the rest CPEs within 30
minutes. Otherwise, the bridging may fail.
• It is recommended to bridge one Base Station to 20 CPEs at
most.
