4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Safety Precautions

• Ensure proper grounding for outdoor installations.
• Do not open the device casing; refer servicing to qualified personnel.
• Use only the provided POE adapters.
• Mount the devices securely to prevent falling.

4.2 Mounting the Devices

The CPE369 units can be installed on a pole or wall-mounted using the provided metal cable ties. Ensure the mounting location provides a clear line of sight between the master and slave bridges for optimal performance.

4.3 Powering the Devices (POE)

Connect the provided POE adapters to power the CPE369 units. The POE adapter simplifies installation by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable.

4.4 Dialing Pairing (Point-to-Multipoint Configuration)

The CPE369 kit supports easy one-key dialing pairing for Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) connections. One unit acts as the Master Bridge (Transmitter A Mode), and the other two units act as Slave Bridges (Receiver B Mode).

1. Set Master Bridge: On one CPE369 unit, push the 'A-B' button to the 'A' position. The digital tube will display 'A'.
2. Set Slave Bridges: On the other two CPE369 units, push the 'A-B' button to the 'B' position. The digital tube on these units will display 'B'.
3. Set Same Channel: Press the 'Reset' button on all three bridges simultaneously. This will set them to the same channel for pairing.
4. Pairing Successful: The devices will automatically pair. The WLAN signal lights will indicate successful connection and signal strength.

Important Considerations for PTMP Setup:

• The slave bridges must be in front of the master bridge.
• The master bridge and slave bridges must be face-to-face.
• The maximum angle between the master bridge and slave bridges should not exceed 60 degrees.
