Connecting the DWR-500 to Ethernet
At least one DWR-500 should be connected to the wired network to function as the gateway for traffic
between the wired network and the wireless mesh network. Locate the nine pin Ethernet cable and uncap
the connector protector on the DWR-500. Connect the nine pin Ethernet cable and turn it clockwise to
secure it to the DWR-500 Ethernet port, then use PVC insulating tape to weather proof and secure the
Ethernet cable to the port, as shown in the Figure 16.

Connecting the Power Cable to DWR-500
Installation of power source must be done by trained electrician.
DWR-500 must be grounded before power up.
The antennas should be setup before connecting the power source to DWR-500. Please refer to the
respective antenna installation guide for further instructions. The power terminal is located on the left side of
the DWR-500. Connect the three pin power cable and turn it clockwise to fasten it to the power terminal, as
shown in Figure 17. Use PVC insulating tape to weather proof and secure the power cable to the power
terminal. Finally, secure the power cable, grounding cable, and the Ethernet cable to the mast using cable
tie.
