FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. UNIT INSTALLATION
The instructions and guidelines provided in this section cover hardware installation topics such as wall
mounting and supplying power to the unit.
Installing the Antennas
The NetVanta 150 unit ships with two dual-band RP-SMA detachable antennas. These must be installed
before wall mounting the unit.
Mounting Options
The NetVanta 150 unit can be installed in a wallmount or tabletop configuration. The following section
provides step-by-step instructions for wall mounting.
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
Maximum recommended ambient operating temperature is 50°C.
Instructions for Attaching the Antennas
Step Action
1 Place either of the two antennas directly onto the antenna port on the rear panel labeled
Antenna 1. See Figure 2 on page 21 to locate the ports on the rear panel.
2 Twist the antenna onto the threads until it is secure.
3 Repeat step 2 with the second antenna, attaching it to the Antenna 2 port.
4 Once both antennas are secured, the antennas may be flexed at the joint to increase reception.

Wall Mounting
Figure 3. Wall Mounting the NetVanta 150 Unit
Instructions for Wall Mounting
Step Action
1 Decide on a location for the NetVanta 150 unit. Keep in mind that the unit needs to be mounted
at or below eye-level so that the LEDs are viewable.
2 Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/ 4-inch to 1-inch thick)
to a wall stud.
Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not
provide sufficient long-term stability.
3 Install two #8 PAN headscrews (1 1/ 2-inch or greater in length) wood screws into the mounted
board, following these guidelines and referring to Figure 3:
Screws should be spaced horizontally, approximately 5 inches apart. Find exact positioning
by using the location of the two keyed insets on the bottom of the NetVanta 300 Series unit
as a guide.
Screws should be horizontally level with each other.
Leave approximately 1/4 inch of the screws protruding from the board to allow the heads of
the screws to slide into place in the unit’s keyed insets.
4 Slide the keyed insets on the bottom of the unit’s chassis securely onto the screws.
5 Proceed to the steps given in Getting Started on page 24.

Getting Started
Supplying Power to the NetVanta 150 Unit
The NetVanta 150 unit can be powered either by the LAN Ethernet connection or through the 12 VDC
external supply. The Wall Supply is not included in shipment of this unit but can be requested from Adtran
or your reseller. See Product Support Information on page 9 for more information on contacting Adtran.
Connect to the NetVanta 150 Unit
1. Connect the NetVanta 150 unit to the PC using the ETH port on the back of the unit and the
appropriate Ethernet cable.
2. Supply power to the PC and the NetVanta 150 unit and begin the operating system boot up process.
During boot up, the PC will obtain an IP address from the NetVanta 150 unit DHCP server. By
default, both the DHCP and HTTP servers are enabled. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1.
3. Enter the unit’s IP address in your browser address line. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1.
4. You will then be prompted for the username and password (the default settings are admin and
password).
5. The initial GUI screen appears.
6. Click on Getting Started in the System menu on the left side of your screen and follow the
on-line instructions.
Factory Default Switch
If the factory default switch is pressed during bootup, the unit will stay in bootstrap mode. Since the unit
has no serial port, Telnet has been built into the boot code. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1.
If the factory default switch is pressed and held for 5 seconds after boot, the ETH interface on the
NetVanta 150 will default to 10.10.10.1 and all access policies will be removed from that interface.
If the factory default switch is pressed for 30 seconds, a default configuration will overwrite your
existing configuration and reboot the unit.
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces
which connect to the Outside Plant or its wiring. This interface is designed for use as an
intrabuilding interface only. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection
to connect this interface metallically to OSP wiring.
For security purposes, you should set up an admin password immediately. Use the
Passwords page of the Web GUI to change this password.
The default switch must be pressed WHILE the power light is flashing green. Do not press
the default switch BEFORE the power light is flashing green, as this will cause boot to be
missed.

"This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 
802.11a 3dBi and 802.11b/g 2dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than the 
designed Antennas is strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 
ohms." 
Antenna Gain: IEEE 802.11a: 3dBi
IEEE 802.11b/g: 2dBi
Antenna Designation: Omni-directional Antenna
"To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen 
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful 
communication." 
. that the device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful 
interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems; 
. the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the 5250-5350 MHz band) to comply with the 
e.i.r.p. limit; and 
. the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the 5725-5825 MHz band) to comply with the 
e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in 
section A9.2(3). 
In addition, users should also be cautioned to take note that high power radars are allocated as primary 
users (meaning they have priority) of 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause 
interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices. 
