Tips:
1)
Please do not directly switch PSD100-WiFi into local area networks by network cables at
the time of DHCP opening. As the DHCP of this card will conflict with the DHCP service for
routers in the local area network at the time of opening and meanwhile, IP addresses will
be distributed simultaneously.
2)
,. L
When the PSD100-WiFi switches into routers, Huawei, TP-link, Tenda and net gear brands
are recommended for the guarantee of stability.
3)
When the bridge feature is used, the superior router under bridge connection shall have
TE
the WDS function, otherwise, bridge connection will fail. Mutual bridge connection can be
realized among PSD100-WiFi systems and for superior router, it is allowed to pre-confirm
whether the WDS of the superior router can be enabled. The mode is generally enabled.
VA
4)
The default factory settings of control card are that DHCP service is disable.
5)
The default factory settings of control card are that router mode, users could select the
bridge mode according network interface,long press the WiFi module reset button to
