To power on the device, the Indoor CPE uses a 12V DC power supply from the adapter. All power
adapters can operate in 90-250V AC range and therefore can be used in different countries. Once the
device is powered, the operator should wait for about 2 minutes before the device becomes operational.
The CPE PWR LED indicator will changes from Blinking to Solid orange light to indicate the device has
completed the startup procedure.
To connect PC, LAN switch or other type of IP device to the CPE product, the operator should use
standard CAT5 Ethernet cable and connect to the appropriate LAN port. Once connected, the
corresponding CPE LAN LED indicator should light up.

port in the back. If the line is not registered or configured, a fast busy tone will be provided and the
corresponding LINE LED light will be off.
