  • Page 11: Using The External Antenna

    Using the external antenna If you prefer to use the external antenna with N-type connector for your application instead of the built-in directional antenna, please follow the steps below. Grab the black rubber on the top of the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE, and slightly pull it up as the figure shown below.
  • Page 12 Warning: Users MUST power off the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE first before connecting the external antenna to it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE;...
  • Page 13: Chapter 4 Configuration

    Chapter 4 Configuration Connect the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE with your PC by an Ethernet cable plugging in LAN port of PoE injector in one side and in LAN port of PC in the other side. Power on the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE by PoE from PoE injector. Assign a static IP address to your PC which should be in the same network segment with the IEEE 802.11N WIRELESS OUTDOOR CPE.
