Product Overview 4 Product Overview Congratulations on your purchase of this LTE outdoor CPE. With this LTE (Long Term Evolution) CPE (which is also known as 4G CPE), you can share high speed mobile broadband connectivity in a wide range of computing environment. Before you begin using the LTE outdoor CPE, read this chapter to familiarize yourself with the device. Features  Embedded high gain directional antenna  IP66 protection against dust and water  Easy configuration based on Web Interface  Provide 10 – 30dB more coverage gain compared to indoor CPE  Support Passive Power over Ethernet.  Easy installation and use Package Contents The following items come with your package. If any of them is damaged or missing, please contact your retailer. LTE Outdoor CPE Mounting bracket Optional: Plug head water resistant kits (RJ-45) Passive PoE adapter (12V, E580A series) Passive PoE adapter (48V, E580P series) Note: The pictures are for reference only, actual items may slightly differ.
Product Overview 5 Hardware Overview 1 Power Power LED will remain lit while power is applied. 2 Signal strength Indicate receive signal strength. The Signal Strength LEDs are only used at the power on to assist the installation. The CPE will turn off all the Signal Strength LEDs after a timer expires from power on. Such design is to prevent the outdoor CPE becoming a potential target particularly at night. The default time is 60 minutes however, is user settable in the web GUI. 3 Mount base Attach the mount bracket. 4 Earth ground terminal Use a spring washer and an M4x8L screw to ground and protect CPE from lightning. See “Ground the CPE” on page 16 for more details. 5 Ethernet port Connect to a computer/ Passive PoE using an Ethernet cable. 6 Reset button  Short press to restart the device.  Long press for 5 seconds to reset the settings to the factory default settings. 7 SIM card slot Insert the SIM card. 8 USB port For use by technicians use only.
Installation 6 Installation Notice before installation Choose a solid and safe place (Wall or Pole) for CPE installation 1. Choose the best location of the house and the orientation of the CPE to get the strongest signal reception from base station. 2. The ambient temperature for E580A and E580P series must be within: E580A series: -10°C to 55°C E580P series: -40°C to 55°C NOTE For lightning protection ground the CPE via Earth Ground Terminal and optimum reception, there are a few things you should consider before installation. Please see “Important Installation Considerations” on page 7 for more details. Prepare two Ethernet cables Be sure that one of the cables used is an outdoor grade CAT 5e (or above) Ethernet cable type and the length of the cables are adequate to reach the location of the CPE and indoor PPoE are. Prepare wrenches Prepare two adjustable wrenches or four combination wrenches. (size: 13mm x 2, 8mm x 1, and 19mm x 1) Warning: Do NOT start any traffic test (ex: throughput test and internet browsing) before the installer returns to the ground.
Installation 7 Important Installation Considerations Before installing the outdoor CPE, consider the appropriate location, clearance, and device orientation. Location and Cable wiring 1. Consult your Service Provider to find the best location and angle for getting the strongest signal from the base station. 2. Do a walking test around the house to find the best spot with the strongest signal if you don’t obtain related information from Service Provider. 3. Mount the CPE at the highest possible location with a clear view of the base station signal source. Buildings or other obstructions will affect the quality of the signal you receive. 4. Keep the best distance as possible from other devices that may cause interference. 5. Check if you can route the cable through the available ventilation holes to avoid unnecessary drilling and waterproofing the wall. 6. Disconnect the power cord first before mounting the CPE. Otherwise this may result in personal injury due to electric shock.
Installation 8 Mounting 1. Choose a solid wall/ground to mount the CPE. 2. Mount on a wall/pole that can sustain the CPE dimensions and weight. 3. Mount upright on a vertical surface. Position Adjustment 1. The CPE must be directed towards the nearest base station. By pointing the CPE in the proper direction ensures that you receive the strongest signal. 2. Fine tune the signal by adjusting the orientation horizontally or vertically to increase the CPE signal strength. 3. To verify the signal strength level:  Check the LEDs on the front panel - more lighted LEDs indicates stronger signal.  Access the web management and go to Basic Mode > Status > Mobile Internet > Signal Quality to view the Rx signal strength. Warning:  To receive stronger signal and to avoid possible RF radiation, please do NOT place your head or body in front of the CPE while you are positioning the CPE or checking the signal strength LEDs on the front panel. Install the SIM card This CPE is specially designed for the 4G LTE network.
Installation 9 NOTE Check the availability of service and plan rates of data connections with your network service provider. 1. Unscrew the SIM card slot. 2. Insert a valid SIM card into the SIM card slot. Push it fully until it clicks into place. 3. Screw the cap back on tightly. Remove the SIM card Push to eject the SIM card from the slot. NOTE  Once the SIM is reinserted, you must restart the CPE to read the SIM card properly.
Installation 10 Mounting and Installation This CPE is weatherproof and designed for outdoor use. You can mount it to a wall or to a pole. Mount Assembly package NOTE  The illustrations are for reference only, actual items may slightly differ.

Installation 16 Ground the CPE For safety use, use the earth ground terminal to ground the CPE housing before making any connections. You need the following:  Spring washer  M 4x8 L screw NOTE  The spring washer and M4x8L screw are not included in your package. To ground the CPE: 1. Insert the washer to the M4x8L screw. 2. Attach the screw halfway into the earth ground terminal. 3. Insert the grounding cable under the washer. 4. Tighten the screw. Connect to Computers To use the Internet connection and configure the CPE settings, you must connect your CPE to a computer. Prepare two Ethernet cables for connection. 1. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to “P+D OUT” port of the PoE adapter. 2. Connect another Ethernet cable to a Network Hub/Router or directly to PC/Laptop via PoE adapter (“Data/IN” port). 3. Plug the PoE adapter to an electrical outlet.
Installation 17 Adjust the CPE position To get a better reception, fine tune the CPE orientation (horizontally or vertically) to have the best signal strength shown from LED or other test equipment. Note:  LEDs (on the front panel) indicate signal strength.
Installation 18 Horizontal angle adjustment 1. Loose the top knob using the wrench as shown. 2. Swivel the device to the left or right to face the direction of the base station. 3.

Appendix A: FAQ 62 Appendix A: FAQ This chapter contains a list of frequently asked questions when you set up your CPE configuration. Q: What and how to find my computer IP address? A: IP address is the identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 192.168.168.254 could be an IP address. To find your computer IP address,  In Windows, click Start > Run to launch the Command program.  Type “ipconfig”, then press the Enter button.  Your computer IP address is listed on the IP Address. Q: What is Long Term Evolution (LTE)? A: LTE is a 4th generation (4G) mobile broadband standard and is the successor to the 3G technologies CDMA/GSM/UMTS. The service is typically much faster on both uplink/download speeds. Q: What is a firewall? A: A firewall is a set of related programs that protects the resources of a private network from users from other networks. Q: What is Network Address Translation (NAT)? A: Network Address Translation (NAT) is the process where a network device, usually a firewall, assigns a public address to a computer (or group of computers) inside a private network. Q: What is Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)?
Appendix A: FAQ 63 A: UPnP is an open networking architecture that consists of services, devices, and control points. The ultimate goal is to allow data communication among all UPnP devices regardless of media, operating system, programming language, and wired/wireless connection.
