Note:

  If the power cord supplied with the unit is open ended, connect to it a power 

plug appropriate to the country in which the unit is being installed. The color 
codes of the cable are: 

brown phase 

blue neutral 

yellow/green grounding 

 

 

The operating AC mains voltage of the Indoor unit is 
marked on the rear panel of the unit                     

5. Connect 

the 

Indoor

 

unit 

Ethernet

 port to the Ethernet hub using a 

straight

 Ethernet 

cable or directly to the PC’s NIC using 

crossed

 cable.  

6. 

Align the antenna and verify connectivity with the other unit(s). 

 
To perform antenna alignment: 

1.  Power on both units. 
2.  Synchronize the units by aligning the antennas at the main and remote sites until 

maximum signal quality is obtained. Check the signal strength RSSI bar on the bottom 
panel of the DWL-1800R (RB) bottom panel. If the received signal quality is lower than 
expected for this antenna/range combination, change antenna height and verify RF cables 
connections.
