CPE bridged or connected to 
other devices.
Solid on: CPE working in AP or 
Router mode.
Blinking: CPE working in Client, 
Universal Repeater or WISP mode.
The more indicators are on, the 
better the connection quality is.
No device is connected to the CPE 
wirelessly, or the signal strength is 
weak. Adjust your CPE's direction or 
location.
You can change the signal strength 
values for each indicator in the web 
UI of the CPE.
The quantity of LED indicators and 
available working modes vary with 
CPE models.

Used to fix the CPE to a wall. Recommended 
specifications for expansion bolts and screws:
Expansion bolt: height: 6.6 mm, inner 
diameter: 2.4 mm, length: 26.4 mm

If passive PoE is used for power supply, connect 
this port to the PoE port of the PoE injector.
If you power on the CPE using a power adapter, 
this port can be connected to a computer, 
switch or IP camera.

Tips
If the CPE works in the Router mode (if supported), this 
port functions as a WAN port to connect an upstream 
network device.

Connect the CPE
You can see the working mode of the CPE on its label. In the 
following figures, the CPE is powered on by the PoE injector.
Application scenarios
Install the CPE labelled with NVR Side at the NVR side and the 
CPE labelled with Camera Side at the camera side.
The following demonstrates how pole mounting enables 
monitoring in different scenarios. When using this method, route 
the plastic straps through slots at the back of the CPEs, and 
properly position the CPEs on the poles before tightening the 
straps.
After successful installation, the bridging quality reaches the best 
when the CPEs' received signal strength indicators (such as 
LED1, LED2 and LED3) are all solid on or blinking.
Log into the CPE
The following procedure describes how to log into the web UI of 
the CPE on a computer.
Connect the computer to the LAN port of the CPE or the LAN 
port of the switch connected to the CPE.
Set the computer's IP address to the same network segment 
as the CPE's IP address. For example, if the CPE's IP address 
is 192.168.2.1, then the computer's IP address can be set to 
192.168.2.  (  ranges from 2 to 254 and is unused), and the 
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Start a web browser on the computer connected to the CPE 
and enter the default CPE's IP address (192.168.2.1 in AP 
mode or 192.168.2.2 in Station mode) in the address bar. Enter 
the username and password and click Login.

Connect the CPE labelled with NVR Side to the switch that 
connects to the NVR.

Tips
If the CPE has a DC power jack, use the included power 
adapter to power on the CPE.
Option 2: Use the power adapter
Use the included power adapter to avoid damage to the CPE.
Tips
The two CPEs are pre-configured and ready for installation.
Tips
Connect the CPE labelled with Camera Side to the switch 
that connects to the IP camera.
Connect the Camera side-CPE to the IP 
camera (Figure 8)

You can also log into the web UI of the CPE using its WiFi. By default, the CPE WiFi 
name is Tenda_ or Tenda__MG ( indicates the last six 
characters of the CPE MAC address). If you cannot find the WiFi network, try 
restarting the CPE.
To ensure network security, change your username and password after first login.
