Chapter 1. Setting Up Your Equipment Introduction The Firetide Model 2100 and 2200 HotClient Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) provide connectivity to the Internet without the need for cable, DSL, or other wired connection. The HotClient uses a radio connection to provide Ethernet-equivalent connectivity in your home or business. You connect to the HotClient via a wired Ethernet connection. You can connect a single computer or multiple devices on a LAN. You can also connect an 802.
Setup - Outdoor If your ISP has chosen to use an outdoor HotClient, it will have been installed by a professional installer. The installer will have provided a hard-wired Ethernet connection into your home or place of business. The Firetide HotClient does require power. Power is fed to it via the Ethernet cable. Connect the power-feed unit to AC power. The ON light should turn green. Plug the cable from the HotClient into the port marked OUT. The CONNECT light should turn green.
Chapter 2. Outdoor Installation Introduction Installation of the Firetide HotClient outdoor device should only be done by qualified and experienced personnel. Outdoor installation involves many safety hazards, including electrocution, lightning strikes, and falls. Please be careful. Unpacking and Setup - Outdoor The Firetide HotClient device is packed as shown in Figure 4. Note that an Ethernet cable is NOT included.
Using the Mounting Bracket The bracket is designed to allow easy tilting and aiming of the HotClient device. The bracket allows the HotClient to be mounted with its internal antenna oriented for either vertical or horizontal polarization. It is also designed to allow mounting on either a horizontal or vertical pole. Note that the internal antenna polarization is vertical when the connectors are pointed down. Note that the antenna is built in to the HotClient.
The bracket is attached to the pole using the U-bolt and one or two of the supplied jaw-clamps (top left in Figure 5). One jaw-clamp is used between the bracket and the pole; the second clamp may be used on smaller-diameter poles by placing it over the U-bolt before putting the U-bolt around the pole. After placing the U-bolt around the pole, place the bracket over the legs of the U-bolt such that one leg passes through the round hole and the other leg passes through the curved slot.
