OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Outdoor SOMAport™ subscriber terminal provides high-speed Internet access
and telephone service. The SOMAport works like a cell phone, in that it
communicates with your service provider’s network over the air and does not require
a special wire connection.
The SOMAport consists of two parts: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. After
installing the SOMAport, simply plug-in the indoor unit and connect it to your
computer using the provided Ethernet cable. The SOMAport will automatically
connect to your service provider and you can setup your account using a Web
browser.
If you are using your SOMAport to provide telephone service, you can connect
ordinary telephones to it.
Internet service
The SOMAport provides a high-speed, "always on" internet connection, which
means you can be connected to the Internet and still use your telephone. The
SOMAport is designed to be left on – it should not be turned off when not in use.
Telephone service
The telephone service provided by the SOMAport is independent and separate from
your phone service. Wireless services may differ from your traditional wired services.
Consult with your wireless service provider for details.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Introduction
Outdoor Unit: The outdoor unit is a ruggedized box, typically pipe-mounted, that
contains a radio modem and an internal antenna. It uses a single cable (CAT5) that
transmits data, telephone, and power to and from the indoor unit.
Indoor Unit: The indoor unit is placed inside subscriber’s residence and connects to
the subscriber’s computer and telephones. The indoor unit also functions as an AC
adapter for the outdoor unit.

Introduction
The outdoor unit communicates with a cellular tower operated by your wireless
service provider. The outdoor unit contains an antenna that automatically steers
itself toward the best signal when you plug in the SOMAport. It also periodically
checks to see if the current antenna direction is optimal and adjusts automatically if
required.
74
WARNING: While this device is in operation, a separation
distance of at least 20 centimeters (8 inches) must be
maintained between the radiating antenna and any person
exposed to the transmitter in order to meet the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. No change to the antenna or device is
permitted. Doing so may result in the installed system
exceeding RF exposure requirements. This device must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or radio transmitter. Installers and end users must
follow the installation instructions provided in this guide.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In addition to the safety instructions on page 11, follow these guidelines when
installing the Outdoor SOMAport:
Introduction
„
Carefully survey the job site before beginning the installation to locate secure
handholds, dangerous conditions (such as power lines and weak roofs), and
the safest and most convenient placements for ladders.
„
Do not climb on a wet or icy roof.
„
Do not attempt high installations on windy days.
„
Use only the sturdiest commercial-grade ladders – those with wide, slip
preventive rungs and bases.
„
Do not position ladders at an angle steeper than 70°. Steeper angles can cause
a ladder to slip sideways.
„
Dig the base of the ladder into the ground if possible.
„
Do not place ladders on slate that is wet or hot.
„
Wear rubber-soled, low-heeled shoes or boots.
„
Wear a pair of durable but flexible protective gloves whenever they won’t
interfere with the installation process.
„
Take care not to bump or bang the outdoor unit against anything.
„
Perform as many installation steps as possible on the ground.
WARNING: The outdoor unit must not be used indoors. It
must be mounted on a permanent outdoor structure.

(acquires a radio channel).
WARNING: Use only the power supply and power cord
that came with the indoor unit. Using another power supply
may damage your equipment and poses the risk of shock
or electrocution.
Installing
the indoor unit
 To install the power supply and power on the indoor unit
Insert the DC plug into the power jack of the indoor unit.
Insert the socket end of the power cord into the power supply’s
receptacle.
Insert the plug end of the power cord into a three-prong grounded
power outlet. The indoor unit powers on when you plug it in. There
is no power button. The light on the power supply turns on if it is
receiving power.
The SOMAport takes up to five minutes to start, acquire a radio
signal, and connect to the network.
NOTE: If you ever need to disconnect the power supply,
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet first. Then
unplug the connector from the back of the indoor unit.
