3 ENGLISH Overview This is a WiMAX subscriber station system comprised of an outdoor unit (ODU) and an indoor unit (IDU). This guide covers the following models: MAX-306 ODU + MAX-306HW2 IDU (2.5 GHz) MAX-316 ODU + MAX-306HW2 IDU (3.5 GHz) The ODU connects to the WiMAX network while the IDU is the management point between the WiMAX network (via the ODU) and your computer/local area network. The IDU can also function as a WiFi access point or as an analog-to-voip telephone adapter. WiFi This Quick Start Guide shows you how to set up your outdoor and indoor units in order to access the Internet.

4 Installing the Outdoor Unit Before you begin, ensure that you are familiar with all safety and accident prevention procedures necessary for working at heights and with electricity. Do NOT install the ODU during a lightning storm. Choose a Location The ODU can be mounted on a pole or antenna mast or on a wall using the supplied bracket mount. Choose a mounting point that is sturdy enough to hold the ODU, even during high winds. When choosing a location to install the ODU, remember that the ODU s front panel should point towards your service provider s nearest base station. If you are not sure where this is, consult your service provider. You do not need to be able to see the base station from the ODU s position; there may be objects such as trees and buildings in the way without signal loss. However, if you experience difficulties with signal reception, a Line of Sight (LoS) connection may produce better results. It is suggested that you transport the ODU to its intended installation location in its original protective packaging. 2

5 ENGLISH Lay the PoE Cable Remove the included Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable from its packaging and lay it from your intended IDU location to your intended ODU location. The RJ-45 Ethernet connector should be at the indoor end, and the eight-pin DIN connector should be at the outdoor end. The supplied cable is designed to minimize signal loss. If you use cable extenders to cover a greater distance, signal attenuation may result. Depending on purchase location and model, you may have one of the following cables: 30m, 60m, or 100m. If you intend to use cable ties or other methods to secure the cable, do not tighten them yet. Leave the cable loose until you have finished installing the IDU and ODU. Mount the ODU See the installation instructions that came with your bracket mount for information on mounting the ODU correctly. To avoid the danger of rainwater entering the device, install the ODU with the base facing downwards. Note that the mounting process has three parts, as follows. 1. Connect the base bracket to the ODU. 2. Connect the wall/pole bracket to the mount location (using the clamping bracket if mounting on a pole or mast). 3. Connect the base bracket to the wall/pole bracket. Wall-mounting hardware (masonry bolts, plugs, etc.) may not be included with the bracket mount. 3

6 Make Cable Connections 1. Connect the IDU to the ODU using the included PoE cable. Ensure that the ODU is installed outdoors in order to minimize interference from walls, windows, and furniture. Also ensure that the IDU is not installed in close proximity to the ODU or their respective signals could interfere with one another. Align the ODU Identify the location of your service provider s nearest base station, and point the ODU s front panel in that direction. Later, when you have set up your WiMAX connection, you can fine-tune the alignment using the LEDs on the IDU s base. Once you have aligned the ODU, ensure that all bracket mount bolts are securely fastened to prevent slipping. The ODU hardware is now installed. Congratulations! 4

7 ENGLISH Installing the Indoor Unit The IDU is a WLAN router with PoE and analog telephone ports. Take the following steps to connect the hardware

8 1. If you have an analog phone you want to use for VoIP, connect it to one of the LINE ports. 2. Connect the Ethernet cable from your computer or switch to one of the IDU s Ethernet ports. 3. Connect the Ethernet cable from the ODU to the IDU s POE port. 4. Connect the supplied power adapter to the POWER port. Turn the power supply on. Look at the IDU s LEDs (lights). The PWR LED blinks green while the IDU is self-testing and during start-up. It stays green and shines steadily once the IDU is ready. It blinks orange only if the ODU is receiving power but is unable to properly initialize itself. The LAN 1 ~ 4 LEDs turn on if the corresponding ETHERNET port is properly connected, and blink when there is traffic. The VoIP 1 ~ 2 LEDs turn green when a voice account is active, and turns orange when you have voice messages waiting. The PoE LED shines green if the ODU is properly connected, and blinks when there is traffic. The WLAN LED turns on if your device is broadcasting an IEEE signal. It blinks when sending and receiving data. The SIGNAL 1 ~ 3 LEDs indicate the strength of the ODU s WiMAX signal, where 1 is the weakest and 3 is the strongest. Congratulations! The IDU hardware is successfully installed. 6

9 ENGLISH Setting Up Your Connections This section shows you how to connect your ZyXEL Device to your service provider s WiMAX network as well as how to configure its built-in Wi-Fi network features.
