Note: The 8-wire cable should be shielded.
4. Insert and crimp an RJ45 connector.
5. Connect the cable to the outdoor unit RJ45 connector.
6. Replace the waterproof seal assembly to the Outdoor unit and then replace the top nut.
Make sure that the external jack of the cable is well inside the service box to guarantee a
good sealing.
7. Route the cable to the location selected for the Indoor unit.
8. Assemble an RJ-45 connector with a protective cover on the indoor side of the Indoor-to-
Outdoor cable and connect it to the Indoor unit’s Radio port.

2. Verify that all units in the network have
the same ESSID (ESSID must be identical
in all units in the WLAN; the ESSID is case
sensitive). Check that the units are on the
same channel.
3. Verify wireless link
•
Set DWL-1800B and DWL-
1800R units side by side.
