Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Wireless CPE
Inside the Wireless CPE
Before you can either test or install the Telex Wireless CPE, you must attach a length of outdoor-
rated (external) CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the unit. Remove the access panel from the rear panel
of the CPE using a 5/16” nut driver or wrench. Loosen the plastic nut on the outside of the
waterproof cable entry grommet, then insert the unterminated end of a length of exterior CAT-5
8-conductor Ethernet cable through this grommet.
Attach a standard RJ45 connector to the end of this cable using standard wiring for a straight
(non-crossover) connection. Plug this connector into the RJ45 socket on the PCB (printed circuit
board) that is attached to the access panel. Tighten down the cable strain relief clamp on the
cable. Do NOT unplug the small antenna cable from the radio card unless absolutely necessary.
WARNING
: Before touching the PCB, make sure that you are grounded and have dissipated
any static charge to ground.
