REPEATIT User Manual Repeatit SU Page 2 17 Safety Precautions This equipment must be installed in compliance with local and national building codes and regulatory restrictions WARNING To avoid possible injury or damage to equipment you must use power supply equipment that is safety certified according to UL CSA IEC or other applicable national or international safety requirements for the country of use All references to power supply in this document refer to equipment meeting these requirements WARNING If the equipment is installed with an external antenna a surge protection device must be installed on the antenna connector of the equipment The surge protection must fulfil EN 60950 1 section 7 and insulation requirements between SELV and TNV circuits in EN 60950 1 How to Read the manual All pictures in the manual are for illustration only details can be changed wothout any prior notice 1 Installation The Repeatit Subscriber Unit SU should always be mounted on the highest possible place with clear line of sight to the base station or Access Point Usually this means that you should mount the SU on the top of your roof or at the TV antenna pole Page 3 17 i Mounted on Wall _ Mounted on Pole Note Pictures are only for illustration details can be changed without notice General information When connecting disconnecting the SU to a computer it is important to follow the instructions in

SU can also work in bridging mode This means that 1 The SU does not give your computer an IP address You can reach the SU at the address described in section 0 but you have to set a fixed IP address in the same range on your computer 2 The SU will not receive an address from the wireless network Instead your computer should be set to work in DHCP mode This means the computer will receive an address directly from the network If your ISP has provided you with a fixed IP address there are two ways of using it 1 Set the SU in routing mode Under WAN TCP IP settings change Method from Use DHCP to Static Fill in all the information in the provided fields and press Apply 2 Set the SU in bridge mode and give your computer the IP settings that your ISP has provided Virtual Server tab Page 12 17 The virtual server tab configures port forwarding rules which makes services on the LAN accessible from the WAN Virtual Server configuration is only accessible when the SU is in Routing mode Forwarding rules Enabled Name Private IP Protocol Single Range Single Public port Private port Range Start port End port A rule can be either enabled or disabled if disabled it will be in the list but it will not be activated You can give the rule a name to easier remember what it does This is the IP address of the LAN unit to which the traffic is forwarded You can choose if you want to forward TCP U
