Scenario 1: CCTV surveillance or point-to-point data transmission

1. Set up the CPEs (AP mode + Client mode)
Option 1: Automatic bridging (recommended
Peer-to-peer bridging

Tips

• Automatic bridging only works for CPEs in factory settings.
• Peer-to-peer automatic bridging could fail if three or more powered CPEs in factory settings are placed nearby.

Place two CPEs in factory settings next to each other, open their covers and power them on.

• After the CPEs complete startup, they start automatic bridging and their LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators blink quickly. About 1 minute later, when the LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of one CPE light solid on and those of the other CPE blinks slowly, the automatic bridging succeeds.
• After the bridging succeeds, the DHCP server of the CPEs will be disabled automatically. The IP address of the CPE working in AP mode remains 192.168.2.1, and the IP address of the CPE working in Client mode is changed into 192.168.2.2.

Tips
If the automatic bridging fails, restore the two CPEs to factory settings by referring to Q2 in FAQ and try again.

Tips: At least two CPEs are required for bridging.

Peer-to-multiple peers bridging

Tips

• For peer-to-multiple peers bridging, perform peer-to-peer bridging first, and then power on the rest CPEs within 30 minutes. Otherwise, the bridging may fail.
• One CPE can bridge with 15 CPEs at most.

Step1: Choose any two CPEs, then perform Peer-to-peer bridging.
Step 2: Within 30 minutes after peer-to-peer bridging succeeds, put other CP Es in factory settings near the CPE working in AP mode (LED1, LED2 and LED3 are solid on), and power them on.

After the other CPEs complete startup, they start automatic bridging and their LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators blink quickly. About 1 minute later, when their LED1, LED2, and LED3 indicators blink slowly, the bridging succeeds.
After the bridging succeeds, the DHCP servers of the CPEs are disabled, and the IP addresses of CPEs working in Client mode are all changed to 192.168.2.2. You can visit www.tendacn.com to download the CPE management software and install it on your computer to change the CPEs’ IP addresses in batches.

Option 2: Manual bridging
Step1: Place two CPEs next to each other.
Step 2: Log in to the web Ul of CPE1.

1. Open the CPE1 cover and power it on (PoE injector used in this example).
2. Connect client to CPE1.

Method 1: Connect your wireless client (such as a smartphone) to the WiFi network of CPE1. By default, the WiFi name of CPE1 is Tenda_XXXXXX (XXXXXX indicates the last six characters of the MAC address). If a WiFi QR code is provided on the CPE1 nameplate, you can scan it to connect to the WiFi network directly.
Method 2: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port of the PoE injector to a computer. The PoE/LAN1 indicator of CPE1 lights up.

• Start a web browser on the client connected to CPE1 and visit 192.168.2.1. Enter the login username and password and click Login.

Tips
If the login page does not appear, please refer to Q1 in the FAQ.

Step3: Set CPE1 to AP mode.

1. Access the Quick Setup page, select AP, and click Next.
2. Customize your SSID (WiFi name) and Key (WiFi password).

Select a Channel, a Security Mode (WPA2-PSK recommended), and an Encryption Algorithm. Click Next.
Record the SSID and Key for later setup.

• Click Save, and wait until CPE1 reboots automatically to activate the settings.
• Step4: Set CPE2 to Client mode.
• Perform Step 2 to log in to the web Ul of CPE2.
• Access the Quick Setup page, select Client, and click Next.
• Select the SSID of CPE1, which is Tenda_123456 in this example, and click Next.

• Enter the Key of CPE1, and click Next.

• Set the IP address to an unused one belonging to the same network segment as that of CPE1. For example, if the IP address of CPE1 is 192.168.2.1, you can set CPE2’s IP address to 192.168.2. (X ranges from 2 to 254). Then click Next.

• Click Save, and wait until the CPE reboots to activate the settings.
• The LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of CP Es will blink quickly when they start bridging. When the LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of CPE1 light solid on, and the LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of CPE2 blink slowly, the bridging succeeds and the DHCP servers of the two CPEs are disabled automatically.
• To perform peer-to-multiple bridging, log in to other CPEs and repeat Step 4 to set them to the Client mode and bridge them with the CPE working in AP mode.
