Fast Broadband Outdoor Radio & Power Unit 

Fast Broadband uses WiMAX wireless technology. A small radio receiver is installed outside your property (usually on the chimney or roof apex). A single shielded Ethernet cable runs into your home and connects to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) unit and your indoor router.

Our engineers install and configure all equipment for you. These checks are useful if:

• You have moved into a property with an existing WiMAX installation
  
• You are reconnecting equipment
  
• You are troubleshooting a connection issue

How to Check Your Setup

1. Locate the external cable entry

• Find where the outdoor radio cable enters the property
  
• You can usually trace it from the outside antenna through the wall

2. Find the PoE power unit

• Inside the property, locate the PoE injector
  
• It must be plugged into a power socket
  
• A light on the unit should be on when powered

If there are no lights:

• Check the wall socket is switched on
  
• Try a different power socket

3. Check the PoE connection

• The cable from the outdoor radio must be connected to the port marked PoE

4. Connect the LAN cable

• Plug an Ethernet cable into the port marked LAN

5. Connect the router

• Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the router’s WAN / Internet port

6. Power the router

• Connect the router power cable
  
• Switch it on
  
• Router lights should come on within one minute
