For users who use the CDS-5IP - Wireless External Video Unit for the first time, it is
recommended that you begin configuration from “Basic Settings” in “System” shown below:

Page 15
TCP/IP Settings
Open “TCP/IP Settings” in “System” as below to configure the parameters for LAN which
connects to the LAN port of the CDS-5IP. In this page, users may change the settings for
IPAddress, Subnet Mask, and DHCP Server.
Figure 6 TCP/IP Settings (Bridge)
Obtain IP Address Automatically: If a DHCP server exists in your network, you can
check this option, thus the CDS-5IP - Wireless External Video Unit is able to obtain IP
settings automatically from that DHCP server.
Since the CDS-5IP covers “Video Bridge mode”, “Master mode” as well as “Slave mode”, the
following steps are categorized for convenience reading to describe how to set each mode
after successful log-in.

Page 16
Video Bridge Mode
1. Open “Basic Settings” in “Wireless”. From Wireless Mode, select “Video Bridge” and
click “Apply” to save settings.
2. Go to “WDS Settings ” in “Wireless”, input the MAC address of the remote bridge to
“Remote AP MAC Address 1” field and click “Apply”;

Page 17
Bridge uses the WDS protocol that is not defined as the standard thus compatibility
issues between equipment from different vendors may arise. Moreover, Tree or
Star shape network topology should be used in all WDS use-cases (i.e. if MASTER
2 and MASTER3 are specified as the WDS peers of MASTER1, MASTER2 should
not be specified as the WDS peer of MASTER3 and MASTER3 should not be
specified as the WDS peer of MASTER2 in any case). Mesh and Ring network
topologies are not supported by WDS and should be avoided in all the use cases.
3. Repeat the above procedures to configure the remote CDS-5IP.
4. Use ping to check whether the link between the two bridges is OK.
5. To get a better wireless connectivity, antenna alignment is strongly recommended after
both bridges are installed long distance apart.
6. Open “Antenna Alignment” in Tools. Choose the remote peer and click on the “Start”
button.
Note:

Page 18
7. Wait about 5 seconds, the antenna alignment starts and performs alignment every one
second.
8. Fix the local antenna and adjust the remote antenna elevation and horizontal direction.
During the adjustment, observe “Current RSSI” and “Signal Strength” in local bridge.
The value will refresh every 1 second. Fix the remote antenna when it reaches your
expectation. Usually, RSSI between -50 to -70dBm indicates rather good signal strength.
9. Adjust the local antenna after fixing the remote one. During the adjustment, observe
“Current RSSI” and “Signal Strength” in the remote bridge. Fix the local antenna when it
reaches your expectation. Under MASTER/SLAVE mode where Antenna Alignment Tool
is not available, another option is provided to check the signal strength towards the
connecting MASTER/SLAVE. Open “Connections” in “Status” as below, and click
“Refresh” to view the current signal strength of wireless connectivity. If the signal is not
so good, align the antenna manually.

Master Mode
1. Choose Wireless > Basic Settings. Then you will see the “Basic Settings” page. Here,
you can set the parameters to optimize your application. Click “Apply”to save the
parameters. In addition, for better coverage of the Master, you may also use external
MIMO antennas; if so, remember to set the antenna setting from “Internal (16 dBi)” to
“SMA Connector” after your external antennas are physically installed.
Warning: Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB
management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the CDS-5IP;
otherwise, damage might be caused to the device itself.

Page 20
2. If security is required, open Wireless > Profile Setting and enter “VAP Profile 1
Settings” as below. You may set the parameters like “Network Authentication” and “Data
Encryption” for more secure network communication in your application. Click Apply to
save the parameters.
Slave Mode
1. Choose Wireless > Basic Settings. Then you will see the “Basic Settings” page.
Choose “SLAVE” from Wireless Mode, and click “Apply” to save it. Feel free to change
the other parameters to optimize your application before clicking “Apply”.
Note: For longer transmission of the CDS-5IP, you may also use an external antenna; if
so, remember to set the antenna setting from “Internal (16 dBi)” to “SMAConnector” after
your external antenna is successfully installed.
Warning: Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB
management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the CDS-5IP;
otherwise, damage might be caused to the device itself.
