Powerweb Technologies Inc. WPR-418-3A User Manual

 
This document covers the basic installation instructions of a Powerweb Technologies wireless router and is intended as a 
quick refresher for those already trained in installation; it is not intended for more complicated installs or to replace proper 
training. This device requires professional installation by properly trained personnel. 
 
Steps: 
 

•

 

Pick a location free of excess moisture and high heat. Also attempt to pick a location offering access to power and 
that is “RF Friendly”. By “RF Friendly” Powerweb means an environment that is not a room shielded with a lot of metal 
or wires. 

•

 

Attach the BNC-connector antenna to the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) onto the back BNC connector. Note: 
For best operation and to insure professional installation, please use the BNC-connector-antenna approved 
and supplied by Powerweb.  

•

 

Attach any other connectors such as to the modem antenna using the TNC-connector antenna. This will establish the 
WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) 

•

 

Please insure the antenna mounting follows the guidelines in the attached drawing. 

•

 

Plug in the wall-mount power supply and note the operation. A correctly functioning unit will flash the RED led briefly 
(will stay lit). 

•

 

Wait approximately 3 minutes for WWAN signal acquisition. Proper signal will be indicated by CHAN, LINK and REG 
LED’s being lit in addition to the RED light. If you obtain CHAN and LINK but no REG there might be a problem in 
registration on the network; contact your dealer and insure the unit was registered on the network. If you receive no 
LINK, then try to re-orient the WWAN antenna and try again. 

•

 

Note the IP number for future reference. Go to your internet access and set-up the zones. Attempt a simple zone 
change and watch carefully for the red led to light indicating WLAN transmission. 

•

 

Set up a controller with the same dip-switch setting as the zone address. Again attempt a simple command. See if the 
controller changes state just after the RED led flashes. If not, verify dip-switch settings and zone address setting. See 
attached dip-switch chart.
