Negotiation. Auto-Negotiation is a requirement of 802.3ab and may cause a speed and/or duplex mismatch if not fully enabled on the Network Extender switch/router port. Samsung recommends that Full auto-negotiation be enabled. If the Network Extender does not come into service as either 100/Full or 1000/Full, the recommendation is to configure statically as either 1000/Full (if capable) or 100/Full.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Network Extender Basics This section will guide you through the basic features and functions of your Network Extender. The RF Antenna of Network Extender is embedded in the Front cover and 6 different external antenna ports are located on the top of the Network Extender. The included GPS antenna is required for the automated setup process, and is necessary in the event the mobile phone is used to call for emergency services while in the coverage area of the Network Extender.
Page 15
Chapter 1 Getting Started Item Description The B/H (Backhaul) port allows you to connect an Ethernet cable to establish communication between the Network Extender and your broadband router. This connection port is then used to transmit voice and data through the Internet to the Verizon wireless network.

Chapter 2 Network Extender Setup Making a Call Once the Network Extender is in service, your phone must be within 50 feet of the Network Extender to connect to the Network Extender and make calls. To verify your Verizon phones are connected to the Network Extender: Make sure your Verizon Wireless 4G LTE mobile phone has the Advanced Calling feature turned on.
Chapter 2 Network Extender Setup Indoor GPS Antenna The Network Extender can get timing information from GPS. The Network Extender is required to be placed such that the GPS receiver has an unobstructed line of sight with at least 4 strong satellites, in order for it to get a position fix during the booting process.
Page 32
Chapter 2 Network Extender Setup A GPS signal is required for proper operation and E911 service. If a GPS signal is not acquired after 30 to 60 minutes, please see Chapter 4 Configuring Your Device. To see the status of the GPS acquisition, use the Admin website (Local) as shown in Chapter 3, The Network Extender Admin Website (Local).
Chapter 2 Network Extender Setup Outdoor GPS Antenna If your Network Extender cannot receive a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal by using the supplied Indoor GPS antenna, it may be necessary to improve the reception by installing and then positioning the outdoor GPS antenna. This section outlines the installation of outdoor GPS antenna.
Chapter 2 Network Extender Setup Figure 8. Connect the GPS Arrestor and Line Amplifier PoE Device The Network Extender provides the ability to be powered with an ultra-high Power over Ethernet (PoE++) source. The PoE source can be either an intermediate PoE injector (midspan) or a PoE-capable switch/router (endspan).
Chapter 2 Network Extender Setup The Network Extender supports both physical layer and LLDP (802.1AB) negotiation of power, which are supported by many endspan sources. These endspans may still have to be configured to allow auto-negotiation on the port, and the installer should also check the endspan’s surplus power capacity, to ensure all units connected to the endspan have sufficient power.

Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Chapter 6 Deployment Guide The coverage of the 4G LTE Network Extender will vary, based on a number of factors, including: • The type of building in which it is being deployed (e.g., building materials, number of walls, floorplans, height of ceilings and the installation height of the Network Extender) •...
Page 93
Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Building Type Building type refers to the type of building in which the 4G LTE Network Extenders are being installed. There are three classifications: • Open: An open, generally commercial building with limited amounts of clutter and no or very few internal walls.
Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Single 4G LTE Network Extender Placement In the process of determining the placement of 4G LTE Network Extenders, you also must determine how many 4G LTE Network Extenders you require. For health and safety reasons, the 4G LTE Network Extender should be placed in a location where people will not pass within 20cm (7.9 inches) of the antennas.
Page 95
Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Step 2: Determine the placement of 4G LTE Network Extenders along the center axis of the building If one 4G LTE Network Extender is sufficient for your entire building size, then it is a good idea to place it in a central location. Use the radius calculation as a guide to find the proper positioning from the building’s edges.
Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Dual 4G LTE Network Extender Placement If the building’s dimensions are larger than the radius of a single 4G LTE Network Extender; the following process will help determine how many Network Extenders you require. The process for placing 4G LTE Network Extenders is as follows: •...
Page 97
Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Step 2: Determine the placement of first 4G LTE Network Extender. Your first 4G LTE Network Extender should be placed in a location toward one end of the building. Both corners of the building should be near the maximum range of the 4G LTE Network Extender, but not beyond it.
Page 98
Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Step 3: Determine the placement of second 4G LTE Network Extender For the second 4G LTE Network Extender, place it at the recommended range or closer to the first 4G LTE Network Extender, taking into consideration where the range completes the coverage for the other side.
Page 99
Chapter 6 Deployment Guide Step 4: Determine the placement of third 4G LTE Network Extender If the first two 4G LTE Network Extenders do not entirely cover your building, place a third 4G LTE Network Extender in line and continue, while taking care not to exceed the recommended spacing requirement.

Appendix A Outdoor GPS Antenna Installation GPS Satellite Tracking and Position Hold The survey of an object’s position using GPS satellites is based on triangulation. Three satellites are enough to survey the position of an object by triangulation. However, to calculate the correct time deviation, a total of four satellites are required.
The GPS system is designed so that it has a strong immunity to noise and can endure interference. The Samsung GPS receiver provides a quality timing clock in most installations. However, to ensure that the GPS receiver performs locking successfully and guarantees uninterrupted timing performance, an interference-free environment is required for frequencies near the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 ±...
Page 113
The filter should be installed at the following locations: • The input connector of the Samsung GPS receiver • Behind the antenna or the front end of a line amplifier The filters above are used to reject jamming tones for outband signals. If interferences actually occur in the inband signals, they will result in serious consequences.
Appendix A Outdoor GPS Antenna Installation GPS Antenna Installation The GPS antenna can be fixed to a wall, floor, tower, pole, and so on. Ensure that you are safe when fixing an anchor bolt to a wall, and treat the anchor bolt fixing area with a silicon or waterproof finishing material.
