Overview TP-LINK's Pharos series outdoor CPEs are dedicated to outdoor wireless network solutions. This guide is applicable to products including CPE210, CPE220, CPE510 and CPE520.
• Panel Layout Pharos CPE: Grouding Terminal Shielded Ethernet Port LAN0 (Passive PoE in) Shielded Ethernet Port LAN1 RESET Passive PoE Adapter: Power LED The Power LED indicates the electricity current situation: green (0~0.8A), red (0.8A~1A).
Hardware Connection 1. Site Consideration • Mounting Height Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for an optimum performance. An elevated location is recommended as obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will weaken the wireless signal. See Q2 in FAQ for details about how to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices.
• Orientation Install the CPE devices with their fronts facing the signal receivers. You can orient the devices with the assistance of Google Map, GPS and some landmarks according to the horizontal beamwidth listed below.
2. Ethernet Cable Preparation 1. Select the adequate type of Ethernet cable. The shielded CAT5e cable with ground wire (refer to the figure below) is prior to the general shielded CAT5e cable during the whole cabling. The former can more effectively protect your devices against ESD attacks under brutal outdoor environment.

Connection and Installation 5734 MADE IN CHINA 5GHz 300Mbps 13dBi Outdoor CPE Power: 24V 1A Model: CPE510 Default Settings: IP: 192.168.0.254 Username: admin Password: admin This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
4. Lightning & ESD Protection Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. Pharos CPEs provide two methods to protect the devices from damage of lightning and ESD attacks as shown in the figure below.
Software Configuration This chapter introduces the login to the Pharos Web Interface and the software configurations to implement Point-to-Point application. 1. Login to PharOS 1. Before accessing the PharOS Web Interface, you need to assign a static IP address 192.168.0.x (2≤x≤253) to your computer. We use 192.168.0.10 as an example in the figure below.
