LTE CPE MF256 Series Quick Start Guide About this document What do you need This manual will serve as a Quick Start Guide to the LTE Device Model MF256 series. It includes two parts, an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. In this paper, the indoor unit will be replaced by Router, and the outdoor unit will be replaced by ODU. Make sure you have everything you need to properly congure the device. Panel of device WAN/PoE ODU Router POWER SUPPLY Ethernet CABLE How does it work 1. The ODU connects to the LTE network. 2. The ODU is connected to the Router, operated with Router to provide Internet sevices. 3. The ODU is power supplied by the Router with PoE. 4. The Router functions as a LAN & Wi-Fi gateway. This quick installation guide shows you how to congure your ODU and Router in order to access the Internet. Congure hardware CAUTION Before you begin, make sure that you are familiar with all accident prevention and safety procedures necessary for working at height and with electricity. DO NOT install the ODU during a lightning storm. I/O Panel of Router LTE Outdoor Unit Internet Choose Location Insert a SIM Card to the Slot CAUTION Make sure the ODU is turned o before you insert your SIM card. It is recommended to NOT connect the PoE cable you do this step. Otherwise, the SIM card may be damaged. Step 1 Remove the cover . Step 2 Insert your SIM card. LED Panel of Router I/O panel of ODU 1 PoE LTE eNB Firewall Core Network Router LAN and WAN The ODU can be mounted on an antenna pole or mast or on a wall using the supplied mounting bracket. Choose a mounting point that is sturdy enough to hold the ODU, even during high winds. When choosing a location to install the ODU, remember that the ODUs front panel should point towards your service providers nearest base station. You do not need to be able to see the base station from the ODUs position. However, if you experience diculties with signal reception, a Line of Sight (LoS) connection may produce better results. It is suggested that you transport the ODU to its intended installation location in its original protective packaging. Step 3 Insert the cable Step 4 Align and put the cover to protect it in the ODU. 2 3 4 5 6 Connect the Router to ODU Place a CAT5e Ethernet cable from the location of your intended Router to the desired ODU location. The maximum distance of the CAT5e cable is limited to 100 meters. If you use cable extenders to cover a greater distance, signal attenuation may occur. If you intend to use cable clamps or other methods to secure the cable, do not tighten them yet. Leave the cable loose until after you nish installing the Router and ODU. To connect the CAT5e Ethernet cable:
Step 1 Open the ODU cover by taking the screws from the housing. Step 2 Connect the end of the CAT5e Ethernet cable to the PoE port of the ODU. Step 3 Place the cover on the ODU housing and turn the screw. NOTE: Make sure you have inserted the SIM card into the ODU. Connect the Router Place a CAT5e Ethernet cable (not included) from the location of your intended Router to the desired ODU location. The maximum distance of the CAT5e cable is limited to 100 meters. If you use cable extenders to cover a greater distance, signal attenuation may occur. If you intend to use cable clamps or other methods to secure the cable, do not tighten them yet. Leave the cable loose until after you nish installing the Router and ODU. ODU Router Adapter Computer Hardware connections of Router Mount the ODU See the installation instructions to mount the ODU correctly. Pole mounting Pole diameter type The mounting pole diameter is from 25mm to 45mm; If the pole diameter is less than 30mm, you need to add a C-type ring to make sure the device can be mounted on the pole. The specic mounting steps are as follows:
1. Using a screwdriver to loosen the metal hose clampsthrough the terminal equipment mounting hole, the metal hose clamps and the pole is xed Step 1 Connect the CAT5e Ethernet cable to the Router WAN/PoE port. Metal hose clamps CAUTION Do not connect a computer or switch directly to the PoE port of the Router due to high PoE power. Step 2 Connect the power adapter to the Router. The POWER LED turns on a solid green-yellow once connected. Step 3 Connect the Ethernet cable from the computer to one of the Router's LAN ports. pole type mounting A 7 2. Using a screwdriver to lock the metal hose clamps, xed terminal equipment. Adjust the terminal equipment to align the direction of the base station for the best eect. LED Behavior When set up the Outdoor Unit, the LEDs of Router will have the following behavior.
