Physical Details
Rear Panel
Reset Button “Reset” mean “Initiation”. While pressing the button, the Ethernet
Bridge will reboot and reset current configurations to factory default
settings. The left indicator “DIAG” on Ethernet Bridge will be off
and then begin blinking. Then this initiation action will be
completed when the indicator “DIAG” is always green instead of
blinking.
LAN Cable
Selection “Auto MDIX”, no mater that plug-in the RJ-45 port Tx and Rx lines
are reversed or normal, it will auto select the proper mode to
connect to PC or Hub/Switch.
Power Input Use Only the power Ethernet Bridge supplied with the Ethernet Bridge
LAN Connection Use standard Ethernet cable (RJ-45 connector) to connect your
PC, hub/switch or broadband router/modem to this LAN port.

Hardware Installation
Following illustration is an example showing how to install Ethernet Bridge with your PC.
Be sure to use the supplied power Ethernet Bridge.
Note!
You may also connect the Ethernet Bridge to other Ethernet-ready device, such as
printer server.

Connecting the Ethernet Bridge to Your Network
There are two network scenarios as below:
Ad-hoc
Networking
Also known as a peer-to-peer network, an ad-hoc network is
one that allows all workstations and computers in the network
to act as servers to all other users on the network.
Users on the network can share files, print to a shared printer,
and access the Internet with a shared modem. However, with
ad-hoc networking, users can only communicate with other
wireless LAN computers that are in the same wireless LAN
workgroup, and are within range.
<PC to Network Printer>
<PC to PC >
Infrastructure
Networking
Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in
that it includes an access point. Unlike the ad-hoc structure
where users on the LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on
an infrastructure network, the access point can manage the
bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization.
Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless
LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless
users to take advantage of the wired networks resources,
such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing.
Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over
ad-hoc networking:
Extended range: each wireless LAN computer within the
range of the access point can communicate with other
wireless LAN computers within range of the access point.
Roaming: the access point enables a wireless LAN computer
to move through a building and still be connected to the LAN.

3. Wireless Navigator Installation
Install the Wireless Navigator
The Wireless Navigator Utility is provided to allow user easily to configure the Ethernet
Bridge through any Windows-based PC. This section describes procedures for installing the
Wireless Navigator Utility to PC.
Note!
Please make sure that your PC already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If not, please
contact your administrator for details if you have problems of setting up this TCP/IP
protocol in your PC.
Note!
Even your Ethernet Bridge is not connected with PC, but other Ethernet device, such
as printer server. You still can install the Wireless Navigator in any PC located in the
same IP subnet with the Ethernet Bridge. This utility can search the Ethernet Bridge
via both wired and wireless Ethernet so that you still manage the Ethernet Bridge
remotely.
Step 1: Insert the installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. Run SETUP.EXE program
on the CD-ROM. The following window will be shown automatically.
