device.
What do you need

1. The ODU connects to the LTE network.
2. The ODU is connected to the Router, operated with Router to
provide Internet sevices.
3. The ODU is power supplied by the Router with PoE.
4. The Router functions as a LAN & Wi-Fi gateway.
This quick installation guide shows you how to configure your ODU
and Router in order to access the Internet.
Before you begin, make sure that you are familiar with all accident
prevention and safety procedures necessary for working at height and
with electricity.
DO NOT install the ODU during a lightning storm.
The ODU can be mounted on an antenna pole or mast or on a wall
using the supplied mounting bracket.
Place a CAT5e Ethernet cable from the location of your intended Router
to the desired ODU location.
The maximum distance of the CAT5e cable is limited to 100 meters.
If you use cable extenders to cover a greater distance, signal
attenuation may occur.
If you intend to use cable clamps or other methods to secure the cable,
do not tighten them yet. Leave the cable loose until after you finish
installing the Router and ODU.
To connect the CAT5e Ethernet cable:
Step 1 Open the ODU cover by taking the screws from the housing.
Step 2 Connect the end of the CAT5e Ethernet cable to the PoE port of
the ODU.
Step 3 Place the cover on the ODU housing and turn the screw.
· Choose a mounting point that is sturdy enough to hold the ODU, even
during high winds.
· When choosing a location to install the ODU, remember that the ODU’s
front panel should point towards your service provider’s nearest base
station. You do not need to be able to see the base station from the
ODU’s position. However, if you experience difficulties with signal
reception, a Line of Sight (LoS) connection may produce better results.
· It is suggested that you transport the ODU to its intended installation
location in its original protective packaging.

See the installation instructions to mount the ODU correctly.
Pole diameter type： The mounting pole diameter is from Φ25mm to
Φ45mm; If the pole diameter is less than Φ30mm, you need to add a
C-type ring to make sure the device can be mounted on the pole.
The specific mounting steps are as follows:
1. Using a screwdriver to loosen the metal hose clamps，through the
terminal equipment mounting hole, the metal hose clamps and the pole
is fixed；
