3.2. Before You Start
1) Make sure your computer is equipped with an Ethernet Network Interface (NIC)
2) Make sure your computer is set up to automatically obtain an IP address (See 0).
3) Select the appropriate location for the RSU:
•
Make sure you are operating the RSU in a room near an outside window.
•
Locate the RSU in such a way that the antenna side will be directed towards your
service provider (AU direction).
•
Obtain a clear line of site to the AU as much as possible - avoid any physical
obstacles, which may block the signal.
•
Your RSU comes with a 1.5m category-5 Ethernet cable. If you choose to place the
RSU. If you purchase a longer cable, make sure the cable is a category-5 Ethernet
cable with RJ-45 connector on each side.
3.3. Installation
The installation process should follow the following steps:
1) Connect the CAT5 Ethernet cable from the RSU data port to your PC NIC. Note that your
RSU consists two Ethernet ports, so you can connect your PC to either of them, or to
connect two PCs each PC to different Ethernet connector.
2) Connect the power supply to the AC wall socket and to the RSU DC power port.
WARNING!
Use only with the supplied Power Supply
adapter
3) Align the RSU until you get the maximum receive signal from your service provider. Best
received indication when maximum “Received Power Indication
leds” are light. Check both
vertical and horizontal polarization and select the polarization that gives you the best
receiving power. The RSU antenna polarization must be the same as in the AU antenna.
In most applications, the preferred orientation is vertical polarization. (Above ground
propagation of the signal is better when it is polarized vertically).
4) The RSU will automatically acquire the radio channel of the AU.
•
Verify that the Air link led flashes (green led on the Ethernet connector), which
indicated reception from the AU.
•
Verify that the Ethernet link led light (yellow led on the Ethernet connector) when the
PC is connected. This led will flash in case of Ethernet data transaction between the
RSU and the PC.
Now you are ready to surf into the Internet.
WARNING
! Do not put any obstacle in front antenna. A minimum separation distance of 20 cm
(8 inches) must be maintained between the device in operation and all persons.
