Overview

1.1 Product Introduction

HUAWEI eA660 is a piece of customer premises equipment (CPE) that functions as the long

term evolution (LTE) wireless gateway. It implements the conversion between LTE wireless

data and wired Ethernet data and supports data backhaul. The eA660 series can be used

independently and deployed outdoors.

The eA660 supports the LTE R8 standards and provides the following services:



Data services

The eA660 series uses LTE broadband technologies to support high-speed broadband

network access, data backhaul, and video surveillance.



Small-scale local area network (LAN)

The eA660 series can connect to external concentrators and Ethernet switches or routers

to set up a LAN with multiple computers. When terminal devices on the LAN connect to

the eA660 using network cables, the terminal devices can provide data services.



Security services

The eA660 series supports the firewall and PIN password, which protects your

computers when you access the Internet.



Firewall services

The eA660 series supports the following firewall services:

−

Firewall enabling or disabling: enables or disables firewalls.

−

Media access control (MAC) address filtering: prevents certain MAC addresses from

accessing the computers on a LAN.

−

IP address filtering: blocks certain IP addresses from accessing the local computers.

−

URL filtering: prevents computers from accessing certain URLs.



Local and remote management and maintenance

The eA660 series can be locally configured in the local city to implement device

management and network configuration, thereby ensuring stable operation of the device.

 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.

 FCC Caution To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's

authority to operate this equipment.

 FCC Radiation Exposure Statement To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in

section 1.1307, a minimum separation distance of 20cm is required between the antenna

and all public persons.

1.2 Application Scenarios

The eA660 provides wireless broadband and wired Ethernet data services.

The eA660 is deployed outdoors and provides wireless gateway services. The eA660 can be

deployed independently or used in conjunction with the eA100, which is deployed indoors

and connected to the eA660 using a network cable, enabling the eA660 to provide Wi-Fi and

other Internet services.

For details about the eA100, see the eLTE2.1 eA100 Series CPE Product Description.

Figure 1-1 shows an application scenario in which the eA660 is used with the eA100.

for maintenance.

2 When the eA660 is mounted on a metal utility pole, the fixture must

be firmly installed, and the CPE must be attached.

3 When the eA660 is mounted on the wall, the installation hole on the

fixture must be aligned with the one on the expansion bolt. In addition,

the fixture must be tightly and firmly attached to the wall and must not

wobble when you shake it.

When checking the cable connections of the eA660, check the items listed in Table 3-7 in

order.

Table 3-7 Cable connection check of the eA660

No. Check Item

1 No cable is short-circuited or inversely connected.

2 The bare wires and lugs of the connecting terminal must be tightly

wrapped with insulation tapes. Cooper wires must not be exposed.

3 Power cables or PGND cables with connectors are not used.

4 The connector of the PoE network cable must be appropriately

connected.

Step 2 Perform the power-on check, as shown in Figure 3-43.

Figure 3-43 Power-on check of the eA660

The items listed in Table 3-8 must be checked during eA660 indicator check.

Table 3-8 Indicator check

No. Check Item

1 When the eA660 powers on, the POWER indicator is on.

2 When the eA660 powers on, the RSSI indicator is steady on

or blinks.

If the RSSI indicator is off when the eA660 powers on, the signal strength is too weak. Check the power

supply and the angle of the angle adjusting component. For details about the indicator status, see Table

2-2.
