• WLAN Signal Light: Indicates wireless signal strength.
• Digital Tube: Displays status or configuration information.
• Reset Button: Used to restore factory default settings.

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Pre-configured Setup (Plug and Play)

The ULNA CPE802T units are pre-configured for ease of use. Follow these simple steps for initial setup:

1. Step 1: Plug them in. Connect the PoE adapter to the CPE unit and a power source.
2. Step 2: Align them to face each other. Ensure a clear line of sight between the Master and Slave units.
3. Step 3: Pair successfully and start running. The LED indicators will confirm successful pairing and operation.

3.2 Physical Installation Guidelines

For optimal performance and durability, consider the following during physical installation:

• Line of Sight: Install units face-to-face within a Horizontal 60° / Vertical 30° angle with a clear, unobstructed line of sight. Obstacles like trees or buildings can significantly degrade performance.
• Mounting: Use the provided accessories to securely mount the units.
• Outdoor Environment: The CPE802T is designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.

• Extend Network to Outbuildings: Connect a Master CPE to your main network (modem/router) and deploy Slave CPEs at remote locations (e.g., barn, shop, garage) to provide internet access.
• Extend Surveillance Camera Range: Use a Master CPE connected to your DVR/NVR and Slave CPEs near IP cameras to transmit video feeds wirelessly.

4. Operation

4.1 Network Modes

The CPE802T supports Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) connections, allowing one Master unit to communicate with multiple Slave units.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ULNA CPE802T Wireless Bridge, consider the following maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the physical condition of the units and mounting hardware, especially after severe weather.
• Clear Line of Sight: Ensure that the line of sight between units remains unobstructed by new foliage growth or other obstacles.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or contact support for any available firmware updates to improve performance and security.
• Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior of the units with a soft, damp cloth if dust or dirt accumulates. Do not use harsh chemicals.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ULNA CPE802T Wireless Bridge, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power:
  • Ensure the PoE adapter is correctly connected to the unit and a working power outlet.
  • Check the power indicator LED on the unit.
• No Network Connection:
  • Verify that the Ethernet cables are securely connected to the LAN ports on both the CPE unit and your network device (router, PC).
  • Check the LAN indicator LEDs on the CPE unit.
• Poor Signal/Low Speed:
  • Confirm that there is a clear, unobstructed line of sight between the Master and Slave units.
  • Adjust the alignment of the units to ensure they are directly facing each other.
  • Check the WLAN signal strength indicator LEDs. More illuminated LEDs indicate a stronger signal.
  • Reduce the distance between units if possible, or eliminate any new obstructions.
• Cannot Access Web Interface:
  • Ensure your computer is connected to the same network segment as the CPE unit.
  • Verify the IP address of the CPE unit and your computer's network settings.
  • Try resetting the unit to factory defaults using the reset button (note: this will erase all custom configurations).
