  • Page 6 Hardware Connection Site Consideration Mounting Height Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for optimum performance. An elevated location is recommended as obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will weaken the wireless signal. See 'Q2' in 'FAQ' for details about how to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices.
  • Page 7 Orientation Install the CPE devices so that they point towards the devices that will receive the signal. You can orient the devices with the help of Google Maps, GPS and some landmarks. The horizontal bandwidth of CPE610 is 6.8°. shenzhen...

    Hardware Installation 1. Attach the Side Reflector Panels to the Center Reflector Panel as follows: a. Insert the two mounting studs on the Center Reflector Panel into the large opening of the slots on the Side Reflector Panel. b. Slide the Side Reflector Panel until the mounting studs are positioned over the narrow opening of the slots, and the top edges of the panels should be aligned when done.
  • Page 9 c. Repeat step a and step b to attach the other Side Reflector Panel. d. (Optional) Attach the Side Reflector Panels to the Center Reflector Panel more securely using four M2.5x8 bolts and nuts (not provided). This is recommended if the CPE device is exposed to extreme weather, such as strong winds.

  • Page 23 How to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices? In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices, you need to minimize the effect of the out-of-phase signals, which is caused by obstacles in the path between the transmitter and the receiver. Fresnel Zone is a usual method to calculate this path, as shown in the formula and the figure below.
