Attaching EasyST 3 The EasyWiFi interfaces with the EasyST by means of a 30-pin connector, located on the EasyWiFi's top panel. For securing the connection of the EasyST to the EasyWiFi, the EasyWiFi provides two latches that locks and unlocks the EasyST from the EasyWiFi. The latches are located on the EasyWiFi's bottom and side panels. Figure 3-1: EasyST attached to EasyWiFi 18120511-01 Airspan Networks Inc.
EasyWiFi At t a c h i n g E a s y S T To attach the EasyST to the EasyWiFi: 1. Align the EasyST with the EasyWiFi by aligning the following: EasyST 30-pin female connector with EasyWiFi's 30-pin male connector EasyST RJ-45 port with EasyWiFi RJ-45 port labeled lan2 2. Press the EasyST firmly onto the EasyWiFi so that the 30-pin connectors contact and plug into one another. Figure 3-2: Aligning EasyST with EasyWiFi 18120511-01 Airspan Networks Inc.
EasyWiFi At t a c h i n g E a s y S T 3. Lock the EasyST to the EasyWiFi using the two latches: a. On the bottom panel, use your thumb to push the latch towards the locking direction (indicated by the "lock" label). b. On the bottom-side panel, use a tool with a pointed edge to move the latch into the EasyST's mounting bracket by inserting the pointed egde into the latch's hole, and then dragging the latch into the EasyST's mounting bracket until it is firmly in place.

5 Mounting Warning: The EasyWiFi is an indoor unit and therefore, must be mounted indoors. Warning: To prevent a fire hazard caused by overheating, do not place the EasyWiFi on a carpeted surface where airflow is restricted. EasyWiFi is a self-installable indoor unit, requiring no professional installation by a technician. EasyWiFi must be mounted indoors in a location that provides the following: High quality RF reception with the Internet service provider (i.e.
EasyWiFi Mounting 5.1. Desktop Mounting The EasyWiFi offers quick-and-easy mounting by allowing you to simply place it horizontally on a desktop (as shown in the figure below). The EasyWiFi contains integrated rubber feet (pads) on its bottom panel, providing cushioning as well as insulation from static electricity. Figure 5-1: Desktop mounting EasyWiFi 18120511-01 Airspan Networks Inc.
EasyWiFi Mounting 5.2. Wall Mounting When EasyST implements the window-mount, external antenna (i.e. no clip-on antenna), the EasyWiFi can be mounted either on a desk (i.e. desktop mounting) or a wall. The figure below shows a wall-mounted EasyWiFi. The EasyST is connected to an RF cable that connects to the external antenna (i.e. clip-on antenna is removed).
EasyWiFi Mounting To wall mount the EasyWiFi: 1. On the wall, mark the position with a pencil where you want to drill the two holes for the screws onto which the two EasyWiFi mounting hooks will later by guided. The distance between the two wall-mounting hooks (from their centers) is approxiamtely 83 mm (3.27 inches). Ensure that the holes are aligned and level using a spirit level. 2. Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above using a no. 6 twist-drill bit. 3.
EasyWiFi Mounting 4. Drive the two 0.75-inch screws (supplied) into the wall anchors. Ensure that at least 0.08-inch gap is exposed between the screw head and the wall anchor to allow insertion into the EasyWiFi mounting hooks. 5. Align the screws with the entrance to the two EasyWiFi mounting hooks, and then pull down the EasyWiFi to lock the screws into the mounting hooks. Figure 5-3: Inserting screws into wall mounting hooks 18120511-01 Airspan Networks Inc.

Connecting Power 6 EasyWiFi is powered by an AC/DC power supply adapter, supplying 6 VDC and 4 Amperes. The AC/DC adapter is plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC; 50/60 Hz). The power adapter also provides interchangeable prongs (e.g. American vs. European) that can be replaced to suit country electrical standards in which the EasyWiFi is being installed. To view the AC/DC power adapter specifications, see Appendix C, "Power Adapter Specifications".
EasyWiFi Connecting Pow er 6.1. Changing the AC/DC Power Adapter's Prongs The AC/DC power adapter provides interchangeable prongs to suit electrical wall outlet sockets in the country in which the EasyWiFi is being installed. To change the plug prongs: 1. Remove the prongs by first moving (with the help of a pen) the LOCK/OPEN switch to OPEN position, and then gently sliding the prongs upwards, away from the power cord. 2.
EasyWiFi Connecting Pow er 6.2. Connecting AC/DC Power Adapter Once you have attached the plug prongs suitable to your country's electrical wall socket, you are ready to connect the EasyWiFi to the electrical wall outlet. To connect the EasyWiFi to the power supply: 1. Before plugging the power cord into the electrical wall outlet, plug the AC/DC power adapter's power cable (i.e. DC power jack) into the EasyWiFi's DC power socket (labeled power). 2.
