Site Planning 
Prior to installation, develop a checklist that covers all aspects of the installation. A 
well-developed plan identifies potential problems early so that they can be solved timely. 
Choosing a Mounting Location 
Choosing a good mounting location for the bridge is important because it affects the reliability 
of the wireless link and maximum data rates the bridge system can achieve. The most 
important considerations are distance between bridges and clearance from obstacles. 
 Signal path distance and clearance 
In an environment without obstacles in the signal path, the maximum distance between 
bridges depends primarily on the type of antennas and the free space loss between them. 
Make sure your proposed mounting site is within range of the remote antenna. 
Another consideration when planning a wireless link is the Fresnel Zone, which occupies a 
series of concentric ellipsoid-shaped areas around the LoS path as below: 

Chapter 2 Preparation before Installation  Page 13
The Fresnel Zone is important to the wireless link as it defines an area around the LoS that can 
introduce RF signal interference if blocked. Objects in the Fresnel Zone such as trees and 
buildings can diffract or reflect the main signal away from the receiver, changing the RF LoS. 
Antenna Polarization 
The integrated antenna radiates and receives polarized radio signals. For the link to operate 
correctly, two antennas at each end of the link must always be set for the same polarization, 
either vertical or horizontal.

Align Antenna 
After powering up the wireless bridge, align the integrated antenna to point in the approximate 
direction of the remote bridge antenna. 
If the antenna is at a significant angle, use binoculars, satellite global positioning system (GPS) 
or reference objects to detect the remote bridge or antenna, and then manually adjust the 
horizontal and vertical positions accordingly. To verify whether the two antennas are correctly 
pointed to each other, ping the remote wireless bridge. 
Positioning antenna is to align the local antenna to reach maximum signal strength. Using 
“Align Antenna” to measure signal strength is convenient and appropriate for most 
installations, but note that this method is only available in “Peer-to-Peer (CSMA)” mode. 
To use “Align Antenna”, follow the steps bellow: 
1.  Login the Web-based management interface of wireless bridge; 
2. Open “Peer-to-Peer Setup”, by clicking “Align Antenna”, “Antenna Alignment Tool” 
window will popup. Set the target RSSI and click “Start” to begin alignment. If the RSSI is 
below -70 dBm, align the antenna by panning the antenna from side to side and tilting up 
and down while observing the RSSI value. By doing so, you will be able to know where is 
the best position for the antenna to reach its maximum signal strength. During adjustment, 
the device will send out the beep sound, assisting you with the alignment. 

Chapter 3 Hardware Installation  Page 22
3.  After the two integrated antennas are well positioned, secure the bridge mounting 
fasteners. The bridges now are ready to be configured and incorporated into your network.

Chapter 4 Configuration  Page 23
Chapter 4 Configuration 
The units to be installed should be configured before physical installation. During this process, 
the installer can set the unit’s IP address to the one within desired address range and set each 
unit up with the MAC address of its peer unit ready to establish a wireless link. It is 
recommended that this procedure be carried out on the bench before physical installation.  
This chapter describes how to configure your bridge for the first time. You can use the bridge’s 
web-based interface to complete the initial configuration. 
Connect the Bridge to a Local Computer 
If you are configuring the bridge locally (without connecting its power injector to a wired LAN), 
connect a PC to the power injector’s Ethernet port using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. 
1.  Assign a static IP address to your PC which is in the same network segment with the 
wireless bridge. As the default IP address of this unit is 192.168.1.1, you may choose 
from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. 
2.  Test the link status between your PC and the wireless bridge. Start a command prompt 
and execute a continuous ping command “ping 192.168.1.1 –t”. If ping to the wireless 
bridge is successful (as shown below), open Internet browser and enter the bridge’s IP 
address in the address filed and press Enter. 

Chapter 4 Configuration  Page 24
3.  Enter the user name (admin) and password (password) to login and make configurations. 
4.  After configuring the bridge, remove the Ethernet cable from PC and connect the power 
injector back to your wired LAN port. 
Basic Settings 
After login to the Web-based management interface, you will see the “About” page as below. 
Click “Basic” in the left menu bar to make basic system configurations. 

Chapter 4 Configuration  Page 25
IP Address 
Enter the settings obtained from your system administrator. The most important setting is IP 
Address. You may manually assign an IP address or check “DHCP” to automatically obtain 
one from DHCP server on your network. 
  Do not change the IP address of the bridge while you are configuring with 
Web-based management interface, otherwise you will disassociate from it! If 
this occurs, login again with that new IP address; if DHCP is enabled then, 
login again by entering bridge’s wireless device name in the IP address field. 
Operating Mode 
Four operating modes are available in this bridge: Base Station, CPE, Peer to Peer (CSMA) 
and Peer to Peer (TDMA). Open “Radio” in “Wireless” and select the mode suitable for your 
application.

“Peer-to-Peer Links” (as below) page to enter the MAC address of the remote peer unit. 
 Peer to Peer (TDMA) 
Under peer-to-peer (TDMA) mode, set one group ID for all the peer units.   

Chapter 4 Configuration  Page 28
Base Station ID 
The SSID is a unique identifier that bridges use to associate to each other. It is case-sensitive 
and consists of no more than 32 alphanumeric characters. By default, it is set to “Wireless”. 
Output Power 
If the bridges are installed less than 328ft (100m) apart, the output power should be adjusted 
lower to avoid overloading the bridge’s receivers. 
To configure the output power, open “Radio” and select the appropriate output power value: 
Full, Half, and Quarter. 
Channel/Frequency 
Channel varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper 
operating channel in the drop-down list according to your situation. 
Advanced Settings 
After basic settings, you might need to configure some parameters to optimize performance or 
enhance your network security. 
Super Mode 
The super mode is designed to enhance throughput by decreasing data waiting time slot. 
Open “Radio” and check “Fast Frame”, “Burst’ or “Compression” box accordingly. 
Security Settings

  Shared Key: Encryption strength and key are required. 
  WPA-PSK: No need for specific authentication server. In this so-called WPA Pre-Shared 
Key, all you have to do is just pre-enter a key in each WLAN node and this is the common 
way to be adopted in large and middle enterprise as well as residential network. 
  WPA2-PSK: Only all the clients support WPA2, can it be available. If it is selected, the 
data encryption type must be AES and the passphrase is required. 
  WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK: It provides options of WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES) encryption for 
the client. If it is selected, the data encryption must be TKIP + AES and the WPA 
passphrase is required. 
 Data Encryption 
Select your desired authentication and enter the encryption keys. STA and bridge must use the 
same keys. By default, it is set to “None”. 
  64 bit: 10 Hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F) 
  128 bit: 26 Hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F) 
  152 bit: 32 Hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F) 
  TKIP: It will be automatically enabled if WPA-PSK authentication is selected. 
  AES: It will be automatically enabled if WPA2-PSK authentication is selected.   
  AES & TKIP: It allows for backwards compatibility with devices using TKIP. 
 Security Encryption Keys 
  Passphrase: Enter a passphrase and click “Generate Keys” button. You can also enter 
keys manually. These keys must match the ones of other wireless stations or bridges. 
Only 8 to 63 characters can be entered. 
  Key1~Key4: Select the key to be used as the default one and data transmissions are 
always encrypted using this default key. The other keys are only used to decrypt received 
data. 

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting  Page 31
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 
This chapter provides troubleshooting procedures for basic problems with the bridge.   
Q 1. What if my bridge fails to connect to the remote one? 
• Ethernet Link: Check the availability of power to the bridge by observing the LED 
status on the power injector. 
-  Green: The wireless bridge is connecting to the backhaul network. 
-  Off: The wireless bridge disconnects from the wired network, check whether the 
power cord and Ethernet cables to the network and bridge are correctly connected. 
• Basic Configurations: Mismatched basic settings among bridges are the most 
common cause of connectivity fail. If the bridge does not associate with a remote 
bridge, check whether options in each device are identical. 
• Security Settings: Remote bridges attempting to authenticate to your bridge must 
support the same security options configured in your bridge, such as WEP and WPA 
(2)-PSK. If your bridge fails to associate with others, check whether the security 
settings are the same as your bridge settings. 
• Antenna Alignment: If the methods above are all checked to be correct, you can 
observe and verify antenna alignment with RSSI value. 
Q 2. What if I forget my password? 
You may restore the bridge to its factory default settings in “Backup/Restore Settings” from 
“Management”. 
Q 3. What if my bridge encounters a firmware failure? 
Retrieve the settings you have backed up previously in “Backup/Restore Settings” from 
“Management”.
