68IntroductionOVERVIEWThe Outdoor SOMAport™ subscriber terminal provides high-speed Internet access and telephone service. The SOMAport works like a cell phone, in that it communicates with your service provider’s network over the air and does not require a special wire connection.The SOMAport consists of two parts: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. After installing the SOMAport, simply plug-in the indoor unit and connect it to your computer using the provided Ethernet cable. The SOMAport will automatically connect to your service provider and you can setup your account using a Web browser.If you are using your SOMAport to provide telephone service, you can connect ordinary telephones to it.Internet serviceThe SOMAport provides a high-speed, "always on" internet connection, which means you can be connected to the Internet and still use your telephone. The SOMAport is designed to be left on – it should not be turned off when not in use.Telephone serviceThe telephone service provided by the SOMAport is independent and separate from your phone service. Wireless services may differ from your traditional wired services. Consult with your wireless service provider for details.
69IntroductionSYSTEM COMPONENTSOutdoor Unit: The outdoor unit is a ruggedized box, typically pipe-mounted, that contains a radio modem and an internal antenna. It uses a single cable (CAT5) that transmits data, telephone, and power to and from the indoor unit.Indoor Unit: The indoor unit is placed inside subscriber’s residence and connects to the subscriber’s computer and telephones. The indoor unit also functions as an AC adapter for the outdoor unit.
