Application Scenario
The CPE can:
–  Provide Internet access for Wi-Fi devices and computers.
– Connect to telephones for voice services.

Note:
When connected to a 2G network, the CPE supports circuit switched (CS) calls but not VoIP.
– Connect to fax machines for fax services.
– Be used to save and share files in USB storage devices.

– Expand LAN coverage together with hubs and switches.

Scenario 1: Accessing the Internet Using an LTE, 3G, or 2G Network
The CPE uses your operator’s LTE, 3G, or 2G network to access the Internet.

Note:
– When the CPE is in use, you can alter its position or orientation to improve signal reception.
– The external antenna is an optional accessory. If it is not included in the package, you may contact an authorized dealer to buy an external antenna compatible with the CPE.

Scenario 2: Accessing the Internet Using Ethernet (WAN)
Connect the CPE’s LAN4/WAN port to an Ethernet port using a network cable. You can then access the Internet through Ethernet, such as a home ADSL, hotel DHCP, or campus static IP broadband network. To access the Internet through Ethernet:

1. Use the network cable to connect the CPE to the Ethernet port.
2. Log in to the CPE’s web management page and configure the parameters of the Ethernet connection.

– Dynamic IP: Does not need to be configured.
– PPPoE: Enter the user name and password for a dial-up connection.
– Static IP: Select static IP in connection mode and enter the IP address, default gateway address, DNS server address, and so on.

Note:
For detailed information about the user name, password, IP address, default gateway address, DNS server address, and other settings, contact your operator.
3. When  is steady green, the Ethernet connection is successful.

Selecting the Installation Environment
Obstacles such as concrete and wooden walls will affect the transmission of the network
signal. It is recommended that when you install CPE you choose an open space.
Keep the CPE away from equipment that generates strong magnetic and electric fields, for
instance microwaves, refrigerators, and satellite receivers.
