5. Configuració i instal·lació
5.1 Instal·lació física
The CF-E314NV2 can be wall-mounted, pole-mounted, or rack-mounted. Use the provided stainless ties for fixed installation. No special tools are required for this step.
Image: Diagram illustrating the easy installation process using stainless ties.
5.2 Power Supply Connection (POE)
The device is powered via Power over Ethernet (POE). Connect the POE power supply to the CPE's WAN port. This method reduces network costs by eliminating the need for an external power supply and using only one network cable for both power and data transmission.
- Connect the POE power supply to the CPE's WAN port.
- Connect the CPE's LAN port to your laptop or monitoring device.
Image: Diagram showing the POE power supply connection to the CPE, highlighting no external power supply needed and single network cable use.
5.3 Signal Calibration
The CPE features four signal strength indicators for easy adjustment during installation. If the signal indicator is weak, the device may be misaligned or too far away from the other unit. Adjust the positioning according to the signal indicator for optimal performance.
Image: Diagram illustrating the signal strength indicators (Very strong, Strong, General, Weak) and their use for alignment.
5.4 Diagrames de connexió
The CF-E314NV2 supports various connection scenarios for wireless monitoring and network extension.
5.4.1 Point-to-Point Connection Diagram
For long-distance wireless transmission, at least two CPE units are required, configured in a point-to-point wireless bridge mode. Ensure there are no obstacles between the two units for optimal performance.
Multiple cameras connecting way 1: Connect the camera to a switch, then connect the switch to the COMFAST CPE. The data will be transmitted through two CPEs (one in Terminal Mode, one in AP Mode) to a DVR or monitoring computer.
Image: Diagram showing cameras connected to a switch, then to a CPE in Terminal Mode, wirelessly linked to another CPE in AP Mode, which connects to a DVR and monitoring computer.
Multiple cameras connecting way 2: If cameras are far apart, each camera can be configured with a double CPE setup. The control center connects a CPE in AP mode through a switch, then connects with the DVR.
Image: Diagram illustrating multiple cameras each connected to a CPE in Terminal Mode, wirelessly linked to multiple CPEs in AP Mode, which then connect to a switch, DVR, and monitoring computer.
5.4.2 Point-to-Multipoint Connection Diagram
If the angle between the camera and the control center is within 60 degrees, a point-to-multipoint connection can be considered. This can reduce the number of CPEs required, saving project costs. Ensure the transmission angle for the device is 60 degrees.
Image: Diagram showing multiple cameras connected to a single CPE, which then transmits to a DVR and monitoring computer, emphasizing the 60-degree transmission angle.
5.4.3 Elevator Monitoring Application
The CF-E314NV2 is suitable for elevator monitoring, providing stable wireless transmission within the elevator shaft.

8. Solució De Problemes
- Q: The CPE is not powered, and the power light is off.
- A: Please check whether the connection between the POE injector and the device is correct. Ensure the network cable is securely connected to the CPE's WAN port. If the connection is correct but there's still no power, try changing the POE injector and/or the RJ45 LAN cable.
- Q: Why is the transmission distance less than the advertised 3-5KM?
- A: The advertised 3-5KM range is for directional point-to-point transmission in open environments with no obstacles. Actual transmission distance can be affected by various factors such as weather conditions, local network interference, physical obstructions (buildings, trees), and the specific configuration. Ensure both CPEs are properly aligned and there are no significant obstructions.
- Q: Does the device support APP management?
- A: No, the CF-E314NV2 is managed through a web-based interface (HTTP WEB page). The default access IP address is 192.168.10.1.
9. Consells d'usuari
- For achieving the maximum advertised range (3-5KM), it is crucial to use two CPE units configured in a point-to-point wireless bridge mode. A single CPE unit cannot achieve this distance.
- When setting up a point-to-point link, ensure there is a clear line of sight between the two CPE devices. Obstacles like buildings or dense foliage will significantly reduce performance and range.
- Utilize the signal strength indicators on the device during installation to ensure proper alignment and optimal signal reception. Adjust the device's position until the indicators show a strong signal.
- If experiencing network issues, remember to check the physical connections first, especially the POE power supply and network cables.
- For monitoring applications, consider the point-to-multipoint connection diagram if multiple cameras are within a 60-degree angle from the central CPE to optimize setup and reduce equipment.
