2. Configuración e instalación

The UeeVii CPE820 is designed for straightforward setup, primarily through a digital display for point-to-point pairing without requiring initial GUI access. This section outlines the basic steps for installation and initial configuration.

2.1 Instalación física

The CPE820 units are designed for outdoor mounting. Choose locations that provide a clear line of sight between the two units for optimal performance. Avoid obstructions such as large trees, buildings, or hills.

• Montaje: Use the provided metal hoops to securely attach the CPE units to poles or suitable mounting brackets. Ensure the units are mounted vertically with the UeeVii logo facing upwards.
• Protección contra la intemperie: While the units are IP65 waterproof, consider additional protection for cable connections to prolong lifespan, especially in harsh weather conditions.
• Colocación óptima: For best signal strength, aim the front face of each CPE unit directly towards the other.

2.2 Powering and Initial Connection

The CPE820 units are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) using the included 24V PoE injectors.

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (e.g., the 3FT test cable) from the Puerto PoE on the PoE injector to the Ethernet port on the CPE820 unit.
2. Conecte otro cable Ethernet desde el Puerto LAN on the PoE injector to your network device (e.g., router, switch, or PC for configuration).
3. Plug the PoE injector into a standard electrical outlet. The CPE unit will power on.

2.3 Easy Pairing (Digital Display Method)

The CPE820 allows for quick point-to-point pairing using its digital display, bypassing complex GUI setup for basic operation.

1. Identify Master and Slave: Decide which CPE unit will be the "Master" (connected to your main network source, e.g., router) and which will be the "Slave" (connected to the remote network device, e.g., another router or IP camera).
2. Set Master Unit: On the Master CPE, use the dial or buttons (refer to the unit's physical interface) to set its digital display to 'A'.
3. Set Slave Unit: On the Slave CPE, set its digital display to 'B'.
4. Confirmar emparejamiento: Once both units are powered on and set to 'A' and 'B' respectively, they should automatically detect and pair with each other. The digital display or LED indicators on the units will confirm a successful connection.

For point-to-multipoint setups, additional units can be configured. For example, if you have multiple slave units, they can all be set to 'B' to connect to a single 'A' master unit, provided they are within the 60-degree angle range for multi-camera monitoring.

3. Operating the Wireless Bridge

Once the CPE820 units are physically installed and paired, they function as an invisible Ethernet cable, extending your network wirelessly. This section details common operational scenarios.

3.1 Network Extension to Outbuildings

The primary use case for the CPE820 is to extend your existing network to a remote location such as a barn, garage, or another building without running physical cables.

• The Master CPE connects to your main router/modem.
• The Slave CPE is placed at the remote building. You can connect a secondary router or a network switch to the Slave CPE to provide Wi-Fi and wired connections within that building.
• The system supports transmission speeds up to 1200Mbps between the two bridges, with a maximum achievable network speed of 433 Mbps for connected devices.

3.2 Starlink WiFi Extension

The CPE820 can be used to extend Starlink internet service to other buildings. The Master wireless bridge connects to your Starlink V2 or V3 router/adapter, boosting the Starlink signal to distant locations.

3.3 Surveillance System Extension

The CPE820 is optimized for wireless video surveillance transmission, ensuring smooth video feeds for IP cameras without the need for extensive wiring.

• Point-to-Point Surveillance: Connect IP cameras to a switch at the remote location, which then connects to a Slave CPE. The Master CPE connects to your DVR/NVR system.
• Vigilancia punto a multipunto: Multiple Slave CPE units can connect to a single Master CPE, allowing for decentralized camera monitoring. Ensure cameras are within a 60-degree angle range from the Master unit for optimal performance in multi-camera setups.
• Modo de relé: For scenarios with obstacles, two pairs of wireless bridges can be used in a relay mode to transmit signals around obstructions.

5. Solución de problemas

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your UeeVii CPE820 Wireless Bridge.

5.1 No Connection / Poor Signal

• Línea de visión: Ensure there is a clear, unobstructed line of sight between the Master and Slave units. Obstacles like buildings, dense foliage, or hills can significantly degrade signal quality.
• Alineación: Verify that both CPE units are precisely aimed at each other. Even slight misalignments can impact performance over long distances.
• Fuerza: Check that both CPE units are properly powered via their PoE injectors and that the injectors are plugged into working electrical outlets.
• Cables Ethernet: Ensure all Ethernet cables are securely connected and undamaged. Test with the provided 3FT test cables if you suspect a cable issue.
• Emparejamiento: Re-verify the digital display settings for Master ('A') and Slave ('B') units to ensure they are correctly paired.

5.2 Network Speed Issues

• Distancia: While rated for up to 3KM, actual performance can vary based on environmental factors. Ensure your distance is within reasonable limits for your specific environment.
• Interferencia: The 5.8 GHz band is generally less congested than 2.4 GHz, but interference from other wireless devices or strong electromagnetic sources can occur.
• Dispositivos conectados: If you are experiencing slow speeds at the remote end, test the connection by plugging a PC directly into the Slave CPE's LAN port (via its PoE injector) to rule out issues with the secondary router or devices connected to it. Old or low-performance routers at the remote end can bottleneck the connection.
• GUI Optimization: For advanced users, accessing the device's Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows for optimization of settings like channel selection, bandwidth, and power adjustment. Refer to the full user manual (PDF) for details on GUI access.

5.3 La unidad no responde

• Ciclo de energía: Disconnect power from the PoE injector for about 10 seconds, then reconnect it. This can resolve temporary software glitches.
• Restablecimiento de fábrica: If the unit is unresponsive or you need to reconfigure it from scratch, a factory reset may be necessary. Consult the full user manual (PDF) for instructions on performing a factory reset, as this typically involves a physical button press or a specific sequence.

For persistent issues or advanced troubleshooting, please refer to the comprehensive User Manual PDF available online or contact UeeVii customer support.
