Outdoor Wireless Bridge

Device Installation

Take the 5.8g wireless bridge as an example

Completed connection, puse up to restore the COE bank cover
Please prepare a long enough network cable to push up to restore connect the POE adapter and CPE. Recommend the CPE back cover to use a Category 5 (or above) shielded network cable with a ground wire.
Working Environment:
Only applicable to areas below 2000 meters above sea level
Only applicable to non-tropical weather conditions

 Wireless Connection Topology

Point to multiple points
IP Camera — Wireless Bridge
In the wireless monitoring transmission, it is recommended to use the above graphic method for point-to-point or point-to-multi-point transmission. The wireless bridge/outdoor CPE transmission angle is oriented at 60 degrees. Please adjust the equipment’s angle when building point-to-mufti-point transmission.

*(Two bridge ways: One Key Bridge & LED Display Bridge, choose the way based on request.)
Quickly Installation Guide
1. One Key Bridge**
1. Config Master/ Slave CPE Put the switch to H, CPE will work as Master. Put the switch to C, CPE will work as Slave.

• Note: The pictures of the above products may change slightly according to the production cycle, and the final appearance is based on the physical object.
  2. Point to Point Connection Press reset button on both master and slave CPE, will start bridging. Point to mult Point Connection Press reset button on master and mult slave CPEs, will start bridging. Note: Master CPE and slave CPE bridging actions (press reset button) need to be finished in 1 minute.

LED Display Bridge

1. Config Master CPE When bridging two CPEs, make one work as master: press “F” to make H/ C blink, and press “S” to change to “H”, it will save automatically in 5 seconds. 2. Config Slave CPE Set another CPE to work as a slave: press “F” to make H/ C blink, and press “S” to change to “C”, it will save automatically in 5 seconds.

Note: 1. CPE default working mode is AP mode after reset, IP is 192.168.188.253 2.F is a select button, can be used to choose master/ slave working mode, wifi channel, IP, and checking signal strength 3.S is config button, can be used to set master/ slave working mode, wifi channel, IP
3. Point to Point Connection Press reset button on both master and slave CPE, will start bridging. Point to Multi-Point Connection Press reset button on master and mult slave CPEs, will start bridging.
Note: Master CPE and slave CPE bridging actions (press reset button) need to be finished in 1 minute.

Change Wifi channel

To avoid signal interference, need to change the master CPE wife channel only, slave CPE will reboot and bridge to master CPE automatically. Press F twice, change the channel by pressing S, CPE will save and reboot automatically in 5 seconds.

Change

IP To avoid CPE IP conflicts, need to change the CPE IP address. Press F three times until the IP is blinking, press S to change IP, CPE will save and reboot automatically in 5 seconds.

3. Reset method
Press the reset button in 10 Seconds will resetting device

(Web Configuration)
1.PC configuration if PC connect CPE by wireless Set PC wireless network IP to 192.168.188.x (x: 2-250), same network segment as CPE, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0:

Check wireless connection
After IP address configuration, connect to CPE’s wireless SSID: Wireless 5.8G, and Input password (Default Password: 66666666)

2. Login Web Configuration
Use IE browser to access http://192.168.188.253, pop up the login page shown below, input the login password: adman, enter Into the home page.

► Repeat mode Bridge the exist wireless signal then transmit Wi-Fi for more range
► AP mode In this mode, NAT, DHCP, firewall, and all WAN-related functions are turned off. All wireless and wired interfaces are bridged together, regardless of LAN and WAN

3. Bridge Status

Login CPE (work as repeater), will see signal strength, green is normal, between -70dBm to -40dBm.

Login WEB by Mobile Phone

Outdoor CPE supports mobile phone Login and set, the configure page showed as follow:

Steps: 1. The mobile phone connects with outdoor CPE, SSID: Wireless5G, password:66666666, or please refer to product sticker for SSID, password. 2. Configure static IP
Static IP address configuration on Android Mobile Phone
Open settings in the phone, turn on WLAN and find the SSID of the CPE, touch it for a long time until there is a menu, then choose”static IP” in the menu, set the mobile phone IP address as 192.168.188.X (X can not be 253 or 252), same network segment as CPE, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, then gateway, subnet mask, and domain.
Static IP address configuration on IOS Mobile Phone
Open settings and choose to connect with CPE, click exclamation mark®, manual to set IP address 192.168.188.X (X can not be 253 or 252) and subnet for mobile phone, note: mobile phone’s IP address should be same network segment as CPE. 3. Input 192.168.188.253 on the Internet explorer bar, Input admin to log in to the mobile configuration page.

Channel Table

Wireless Bridge Regional Channel Code Instructions

Trouble Shoting

2. Distance is too long,or there are some bar between them
3. CPE’s angle in the wrong direction, weak signal| 1. Use Wi-Fl analysis to choose the best channel or change to 5G CPE
2. CPE should be in the normal distance, and avoid bar 3. Adjust the angle of CPE according to signal strength
Wrong password| 1. Forget the password
2. Input wrong password 3.Too much cookie| 1Press reset button in 10 seconds to reset the device, the default password is admin
2. Re-input the password
3. Clear cookie, run arp -0 to clear MAC table.
Can not login WEB| 1. Local IP Is not in the same network segment of CPE
2.IP is taken by other devices
3. LAN Connection or Ethernet cable has a problem
4. Too much cookie, MAC address haven’t update| 1. Ping 192.168.188.253 to see connection status 2. Stop other devices or change to another IP 3. Check LAN Connection and Ethernet cable 4. Clear cookie, run arp -d to clear MAC address
System LED light off| 1. PoE power supply Is not working
2. Some problem in CPE’s PoE port
3. Ethernet cable Is loose, RJ45 port is wrong Power current-voltage lower or wrong| 1. Check If POE Adapter or POE switch work
2. Check If the POE port of CPE is OK
3. Check if Ethernet cable is loostif Ethernet cable plugged into POE port
4. Check if the voltage is normal if the socket has a problem if input voltage of POE adapter is normal
Low transmission Rate| 1Packet Latency
2. Ethernet cable circuit 3. Network virus attack 4.Too much access users| adjust the distance, angle, and channel to decrease latency
2. Check If there is a circuit in the network
3. Check if port isolated to avoid network virus and broadcast storm
4. Decrease the access users.
Device always dead| 1. Static electricity
2. Running time too long 3. Lightning stroke| 1. Make CPE or POE adapter need ground connection 2. Running time over 7 days, reboot it
3. After lightning, device POE port is broken or unstable, better to deploy lightning conductor.
