4 Hardware installation
MAXBridge CPE unit is designed for outdoor application (IP66 compliant) and must be mounted outdoors on a pole or an antenna wall mast. Supplied mounting kit is used to secure the outdoor unit.
The unit has the internal temperature indicator, that show the internal hardware temperature. A maximum allowed temperature, that is indicated on the system board is + 65 C. Under a normal environmental operating conditions hardware temperature does not exceed allowable maximum limits. Attention! If the unit is powered off for some period of time in ambient temperature conditions below 20 C unit start is not guaranteed and it may cause hardware damage.

4.1 Mounting device and external antenna In case of outdoor unit installation on a pole or a wall mast enclosure should be oriented so, that the cable connectors are at the bottom. If they are on a top, water may penetrate into the unit causing damage. Ethernet cable that connects PoE and outdoor enclosure should be appropriate for outdoors environment and should not be longer than 100 meters. It is recommended to use CAT-5e 24AWG shielded/outdoor class cable. A cable gland on the outdoor enclosure side provides hermetic sealing. PoE unit operates indoors and requires a power source with 100-240 VAC / 50-60 Hz. PoE unit has two RJ45 connectors: OUT: it supplies power and data to the outdoor unit; IN: it is the data input to the MAXBridge CPE. It can be connected to users LAN switch, router, PC, etc. MAXBridge CPE 33 SME EXT must be used with an external antenna. The antenna can be mounted on a pole, wall mast must be connected to N-type connector of outdoor enclosure (Figure 3.2) by LMR400, Belden 9913 or similar low loss coaxial cable. Coaxial cable length should not be longer than 2 m. The external antenna or the integrated antenna must be aligned for maximum receiver radio signal (RSSI) level. Ensure that antenna polarization (Figure 3.1) is the same as Base Station antenna polarization and there are no direct obstructions in front of the antenna. NOTE: Be sure to apply weatherproof silicone tape to all remote antennas and outdoor enclosure connections. The MAXBridge CPE and antenna should be installed by experienced installation professionals. UNIDATA and it's resellers are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with

the installation of outdoor units or antennas.

4.2 Lightning protection and grounding The MAXBridge CPE should be properly grounded and be protected against lightning. The MAXBridge CPE 33 SME IA/EXT features internal RJ-45 lightning protection circuits for data pairs (pins 1,2 & 3,6) and DC power (pins 4,5 & 7,8 ). The metal alloy enclosures of the MAXBridge CPE 33 SME IA/EXT is connected to the internal ground of the unit and the ground point of internal lightning protection circuits. Enclosure grounding connector (Figure 3.1, 3.2) should be connected to the ground point (external protective ground conductor or to a grounded pole, mast ) by a 10 AWG short copper wire. For protection of users LAN equipment against lightning induced currents, it is strongly recommended, that another The Surge Suppressor should be mounted at the building entry point and must be grounded. This device must be mounted outside the building, located as near as possible to the entrance of the CAT-5e outdoor unit cable. The grounding wire must be connected to a grounding rod or the building grounding system. In case if a Surge Suppressor at the building entry point is not used, the outdoor unit cable shield should be grounded. However, this shielding does not provide a good lightning discharge path, since it can not tolerate the high lightning current surges. NOTE. Poorly grounded pole can conduct high lightning strike energy into CPE equipment. Poorly grounded CPE enclosure can cause CPE equipment failures from lightning induced currents. Poorly grounded ethernet Surge Suppressor (at the building entry point), or the outdoor unit ethernet cable shield can cause user's network equipment failures from lightning induced currents.

9 Configuration profiles
Configuration profiles are used for quick adjustment all of device configuration parameters. Device configuration can be saved in two types of different profiles: startup, user-defined: <startup/current > - configuration profile with current working device parameters. When the unit is powered on, this configuration startup profile will be automatically loaded; <backup> - backup copy of current profile ; <predefined> - profile with factory defined parameters; <user-defined> <1-8> - user defined profiles. The user may save up to 8 different configurations. The Control options / Profile manager menu opens the configurations profiles page (see Figure 9.1). Button Save settings to startup profile allows to save the current working configuration into startup profile. When the unit is powered on, this startup profile will be used as the bootup configuration. Button Save settings into selected user slot allows to save current configuration into selected destination user profile slot. Destination user profile slot is located next to this button on the right side of configuration profile page. Button Load selected profile into startup profile allows to load profile that can be selected from the list of user's profiles, backup profile or predefined factory profile. Selection slot is located next to this button on the right side of the configuration profile page. Loaded profile then becomes a current and startup configuration and be effective upon restart of reboot.

12 Firmware upgrade
Current device software release number is displayed in Firmware revision field on Statistics/ System web page. It is recommended to periodically update the unit by up-to-date software release since new functionalities are added to the system. The updating process consists of uploading a firmware files to the unit and letting it be installed. Uploaded software consist of two files: *****.fut - firmware file; *****.fut.md5 firmware file control sum; where ***** software revision. File catalog with software also may contain Readme and Install files. Before software upgrade it is strongly recommended to read instructions in these files. Software upgrade can be performed from FTP or TFTP server. Before upload it is necessary to configure server, which will be used for s/w upgrade, and it's IP address must be reachable from the device. The firmware file is initially uploaded to the devices standby software bank, which is inactive. To install uploaded file, it needs to be transferred to the device's active software bank. To upload firmware file into standby software bank select Control options/Firmware upgrade menu item and software upgraded web page is displayed ( Figure 12.1, 12.2).

Figure 12.1 Software upgrade from TFTP server 1. In Server IP field IP enter FTP/TFTP servers IP address. 2. Choose server type TFTP or FTP.
