Introduction
The budget IPmitters have a data transfer rate of 300Mbs, using the 2.4Ghzband,
this is aimed at cost conscious installations.
The IPmitter works in2 modes withLED pairing, Repeater mode and AP mode, the
Host acts as the Access point (AP) and the client sets up as the repeater to provide
a WiFi Bridge betweenthe two.
IPMIT204 Canbe powered using 48 PoE (Not supplied) or canbe powered using
12V DC (Not supplied).
User Information
The connections to the must be cleanand dry, and not exposed to moisture or
excessive dust.
Do not touch the any of its connections with wet hands.
Ensure the power is switched off to the IPmitter if not inuse for a long period of
time.
There are no user serviceable parts inthe IPmitter and opening or attempting to
repair the product will void the warranty.
Onlyuse a 12V DC Regulated PSU(atleast 500mA) or a 48V PoE Supply(also
knownas 802.3af).
Do notinstall or use the device ifthe power cable or network connectionis
damaged.

Powering & Controls
Powering
Option 1 - Power from 12V DC (via the 2.1mm DC Socket), the current consumption
is 300mA. The IPMIT304 is polaritysensitive so connections must be made correctly.
Option 2 - Power the camera using 48V PoE, inthe RJ45 WAN/POE Socket
Note: The IPMIT304 will take approximately 3 mintues to boot up.

Bridge Options
4.1 Standard WiFi Bridge Setup
Whenpairing, one unit needs to be set to "Client" and the other unit needs to be set
to "Host".
For example:

4.2 "One to Many" WiFi Link
Whenpairing, one unit needs to be set to "Host" and the manysender units need to
be set to "Client".
Note: When pairing multiple clients with one host,configure the clients to "C" and
the host to "H" and then pair the units. See Pairing for more information.
If a client has already been paired with the hostand another client is to be
added to the host, then down-power the existing client before attempting to
pair the next client.
For example:

4.3 Multiple Pairs
Whenpairing, the units needs to be set to "Client" and "Host" but withdifferent
channel numbers.
Note: When pairing multiple pairs each pair needs to be configured to a different
WiFi channel.
When pairing the second pair onwards, down-power the existing pair/s. See
Pairing for more information.
For example:

Pairing
Available Channels – Available channels 1-13
The IPmitters are sent out as default onH (Host).
One IPmitter needs to be set to H (Host) and the other to C (Client).
Ensure the IPmitters are paired up before installing inposition.
The units canbe down-powered and theninstalled inpositiononce paired.
IMPORTANT :
Keep bothIPmitters at least 2m apart during pairing, if the they are too
close theywill "de-sense" and not pair.
Iftheyare veryclose thenpoint them awayfrom eachother during pairing to
ensure theydo not "de-sense".
Do notattempt to pair bothIPmitters connected to the same PoE switch,
theywill detecta network loop and notpair.
Ifpairing is attempted withbothIPmitters connected to the same PoE
switch thendefault both units (press and hold rst button for at least 10
seconds).
Note: Super WDS mode is notused in the IPMIT204 models, as they nowuse
repeater and access point modes.
The Client is set to repeater mode and the Host is set to access point mode.
When pairing an older model IPMIT200 with a newmodel IPMIT204, then
the IPMIT200 is required to be set manually in the web interface to either
access point mode or repeater mode (depending on if being used as a client
or a host).

5.1 Example - Standard WiFi Bridge
Pairing on channel 007
1. Power bothIPmitters, and leave to boot up for at least 3 mins. During boot up they
will displaya rotating segment [_i]
2. Onone IPmitter (client), press the F (function) button and "H" will flash [H007].
Press the S (setting) buttonto change to [C007].
3. The whole displaywill flash to indicate the settings have beensaved,it will reboot
(cantake up to 3 mins) then the displaywill show[C007].
4. Now press the RST (reset) buttonfor 1 second on bothIPmitters [H007]
[C007].
The displaywill change to a P with a rotating segment whilst pairing [P __]. Pairing
cantake up to 5 minutes.
The displaywill showP and a value once paired [P0 10] [P0 12].
5.2 ERR Code or P-95
Note: The strength will range P-01 (Good) to P-75 (Poor).
If ERR shows thenthe IPmitters have not paired
Reset bothIPmitters, holding the R (reset) button downonbothIPmitters for 10
seconds. Once both units have booted back up, thentrythe pairing process again.
Note: Ensure the units are notplugged into the same switch/ network during pairing.
If P-95 shows the the IPmiiters have either not paired or theyhave lost signal.
1. Check the pairing > Reset bothIPmitters,holding the R (reset) buttondownon
bothIPmitters for 10 seconds.Once bothunits have booted back up,thentrythe
pairing process again.
2. BetweenP-070 and P-095 is too low for transmission> Trythe pairing process
with the devices closer together.

Default Settings
The defaultsettings for the IPmitter:
IP Address = 192.168.1.123
Web Interface Password = ipmitter (lower case)
(These are shownonthe label on the back of the unit)
Default WiFi key = 66666666

others willbe automaticallyassigned (via GHCP).
The IP address of the unit canbe found bypressing the F buttonuntil the display
changes to Axxxthe 3 characters after the A indicate the lastsegment of the IP
address.
Unless youhave changed the IP address the first 3 segments will stillbe on

7.3.1 Repeater Mode
Repeater mode requires anexisting WiFi connectionfrom a router, access point or
other IPmitter.
The IPmitter thenconnects to the existing WiFi connectionand thenextends that
network via the LAN/ WAN RJ45 ports or via WiFi onthe repeating IPmitter.
Select Repeater Mode.
1. Enter settings for existing WiFi, these are the details of whichthis IPmitter will
connect to. (Either a router / access point / host IPmitter).
Repeater SSID is the WiFi network SSID this IPmitter is to connect to.To find the
network youwant to connect to press Scanand thenselectthe WiFi network name.

3. Enter the LANSettings for the IPmitter.
IP Mode canbe set to either GHCP, static or DHCP. GHCP is set as standard, and
will receive anaddress (similar to DHCP, but will also assignanother IPmitter
connected to anavailable address), static IP address is a unique fixed address
whichyoucan assignto the IPmitter. DHCP will obtainthe address from the DCHP
server or the router and assignIPmitter withanaddress from the network.
LAN IP is a unique local IP address of the IPmitter thatidentifies the device onthe
local area network.
Subnet is the number that defines a range of IP address that canbe used onthe
network. This should matchother devices onthe network. The most commonsubnet
mask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway (or default gateway) is a router address connected to the localnetwork that
sends packets out of the localnetwork. This is normallythe local IP address of the
router.
Primary DNS is usuallythe Gateway(router's) local IP address.
Secondary DNS another DNS server address
