Super WDS – UICK SETUP
You will need to pair the IPmitters before installin , the units do not come paired up from factory. This
pairin process is simple on a test bench setup before installin in position. The IPmitter comes set in
Super WDS mode. This allows for easy pairin usin the LED display.
When powered up the display will show the channel number 048 for 5.8GHz. This is proceeded by either
an H or C indicatin Host (master) or Client (Slave). The default is client(C).
Before pairing one IPmitter needs to be set to H (host), one to C (client) and they both have to be on
the samechannel number.
Host Channel 48 Client Channel 48
Changing to host, setting the channel and pairing
Note – Best practise is to set the Client at the “camera end” and the Host at your “Network end”. This
allows for more Clients to be added at a later date if required.
Step 1. Press the F (function) button and the rst character will ash press the S (settin ) button to
chan e the value.
Step 2. To move to the next character press the F button a ain and use the S button to chan e the value.
Step 3. Pressin the F button a ain when the last character is ashin will make the whole display ash
for about 5 seconds to indicate the settin s have been saved.
Step 4. Now press the RST (reset) button for 1 second on each IPmitter. The display will chan e to a P
with a rotatin se ment whilst pairin and will show a value when paired. Pairin can take up to 2.5
minutes.
To add more clients (up to 4) to one host then set the channel on the new client and press the reset
buttons on the new client and the Host. They will then pair.

Setup via the WEB Interface
The default settin s for the IPmitter
IP Address: 192.168.1.123
Password: ipmitter (lower case)
These are shown on the label on the back of the unit.
The default WiFi key is 66666666
When the IPmitters are in Super WDS mode one IP address will always be on the default and the others
will be automatically assi ned. The IP address of the unit can be found by pressin the S button until the
display chan es to Annn the 3 characters after the A indicate the last se ment of the IP address. Unless
you have chan ed the IP address the rst 3 se ments will still be 192.168.1.nnn
192.168.1.123
If the IPmitters are paired in Super WDS mode, then by lo in onto the IPmitter at 192.168.1.123 the IP
address of other connected IPmitters can be found in CPE Mana e.
Remember. When you connect to the IPmitter your PC/Laptop needs to be on the same subnet.

Super WDS Web Setup
Using Setup Wizard to setup Super WDS
Althou h the IPmitter may already be in Super WDS mode. You can still use the Setup Wizard by
clickin on the Super WDS Mode icon.
Step 1 – Connecting other IPmitters
Scan this will show a list of available WiFi devices. Althou h it will show devices not on the same
channel you will not be able to connect to them. Selectin a device in the list will add it. The AP
BSSID is the MAC address of the selected device and the SSID is the name.
Password this is the password for Super WDS connected devices. It defaults to o but for extra security a
password can be added. If used this should be the same in all of your IPmitters and has a minimum of 8
characters.
Step 2 – LAN Settings

IP Mode this is used to set the IP address. In Super WDS mode you would normally leave this in
GHCP so that IPmitters assi n their own IP addresses. It can be set to DHCP and the IPmitter will et
network settin s from a DHCP server. It can also be set to Static IP if you wish to set a xed IP
address. In static IP CPE mana e will not display connected devices.
Step 3 – WiFi Settings
WiFi Status turns the WiFi on or o.
SSID is the name displayed when seen by other WiFi devices
Hide your WiFi name? When a wireless device searches the area for the networks it will not be able
detect the WiFi name associated with the router.
WiFi Password this is the password required to Lo in to IPmitter from another wireless device.
Timing allows for a timed reboot or interval for the IPmitter.

REPEATER Mode Web Setup
Repeater mode this lets you connect the IPmitter to an existin WiFi network, the IPmitter will then pick
up the existin WiFi network and extend the existin wireless network as second network.
- Select Setup Wizard
- Select Repeater Mode
Step 1 – Connectin settin s for existin WiFi
Repeater SSID is the WiFi network you want the IPmitter to connect. To nd the network you want to
connect to press Scan and then select the WiFi network name.
Lock BSSID is the Mac Address of the device you are connectin the IPmitter to, this eld is completed
automatically.
Encryption is the type of Wireless Encryption used to access the WiFi network.

Password is the password used to access the WiFi network.
Bandwidth is the broadcastin bandwidth which your wireless network uses. This needs to set to match
your router/ WiFi Bandwidth.
Pass through is set to o as default, if the IPmitter is only connectin other IPmitter devices then you will
need to set this on, otherwise leave this option o.
Step 2 – WiFi Settin s for the repeater
WiFi Status turns the WiFi on or o for the repeater itself.
SSID is the name of the WiFi network you will see when you connect to the repeater. This can be the
same as the existin WiFi network or unique to the repeater.
Hide your WiFi name? When a wireless device searches the area for the networks it will not be able
detect the WiFi name associated with the router.
WiFi Password is the password used to access the Repeater WiFi network. A stron password consists of
at least six characters (and the more characters, the stron er the password) that are a combination of
letters, numbers and symbols. This can be the same as the existin WiFi network or unique to the
repeater.
Timing allows for a timed reboot or interval for the IPmitter.

Step 3 – Save conguration
Movin onto step 3 will automatically save the con uration
Applications for Repeater mode:-
Router wireless extender – Extends the existin si nal from a wireless router and the rebroadcasts it to
create a second network. You can then connect to the WiFi via the repeater which will be a stron er
si nal than without the repeater.
Access point extender – this can use an existin WiFi access point or IPmitter to then rebroadcast it to
create a second network. This means you can connect to the WiFi of the repeater with a stron er si nal
than just connectin to the Access point.
Limitations:-
Bandwidth is reduced by 50% as there is data bein transmitted between the existin WiFi and the
Repeater, then from the repeater to the connectin device. Instead of just a connection between the
existin WiFi and the device.

AP MODE
AP Mode lets you set the IPmitter as a wireless access point allowin a WiFi device connect to a wired
network.
- Select Setup Wizard
- Select AP Mode
Step 1 – LAN Settin s
IP Mode can be set to either static or DHCP. Static IP address is a unique xed address which you can
assi n to the IPmitter. DHCP will obtain the address from the DCHP server or the router and assi n
IPmitter with an address from the network.
LAN IP is a unique local IP address of the IPmitter that identies the device on the local area network.
Subnet is the number that denes a ran e of IP address that can be used on the network. This should
match other devices on the network. The most common subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

Gateway (or default ateway) is a router address connected to the local network that sends packets out
of the local network. This is normally the local IP address of your router.
Primary DNS is usually your Gateway (router's) local IP address.
Secondary DNS another DNS server address if the primary DNS fails, a third party DNS address you can
use could be 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.
Step 2 – WiFi Settin
SSID is the name of the WiFi network you will see when you connect to the network.
Hide your WiFi name? When a wireless device searches the area for the networks it will not be able
detect the WiFi name associated with the router.
Channel is the broadcastin channel and bandwidth which your wireless network uses. This would
normally be set to 20M/40M for best performance and reliability and allows devices to use the lar est
bandwidth they support. You may want to use the WiFi Analyzer which can be found on the WiFi Settin s
pa e.
WiFi Password is the password used to access the WiFi network. A stron password consists of at least
six characters (and the more characters, the stron er the password) that are a combination of letters,
numbers and symbols.
