AP58GV3 is a 5G wireless bridge developed by Optiview for CCTV surveillance equipment. It is an easy-to-use
yet delivers a complete CCTV solution for creating highly scalable, end-to-end systems of network devices
including IP cameras, DVR and network video recorders. The maximum wireless data speed is 900Mbps. It is
suitable for long distance environment with a farthest transmission distance of 1.2 miles or 2 Km with clear
line of sight. Point-to-point wireless transmission helps you leverage installation cost associated with wired
network structure. It support passive PoE power supply which makes the installation simpler, quick and easy.

Quick Setup Guide
1. Package contents
Wireless bridge………………….. 2 pieces（a pair）
POE 24Vdc power adapter……… 2 pieces
Stainless steel retainer…………... 2 pieces
Quick Installation Guide………... 1 piece
2. Installation notes
Installer/technician should pay attention to the following two points:
Height
Pay attention to possible obstructions that may affect wireless signal such as such as
trees, tall buildings and large steel structures that may will weaken wireless signals. In
order to improve the wireless transmission performance and prevent the signal from
being blocked, make sure that there is no obstruction within the line of sight of the
wireless CPE during installation.
Direction
When installing a CPE wireless device, adjust its front panel orientation to ensure that the
receiving device is within its signal coverage.
2.1 Interface Description
oRESET button, long press 5-10 seconds to do system reset.
oLAN1 port, Passive PoE port, connect the 24 Vdc PoE power adapter.
oLAN2 port, common network port.
LAN 2 LAN 1 (POE) Reset

2.2Connection diagram for preliminary setup
The PoE port from the DC power adapter is connected to the RJ45 port of the wireless bridge
(LAN1 POE), and the LAN2 port of the power adapter is connected to terminal devices such as
PC or any IP device such as IP camera or DVR/NVR.
Figure 1.0
3. Login WEB interface
3.1 Directly connect the PC and the network cable from the POE injector as shown on figure# 1.0
below, configure your laptop computer with an IP address within the network segment, for
example 192.168.248.251 and the corresponding subnet mask, 255.255.255.0

3.2 Open a browser, enter http://192.168.248.1 on the address bar and press Enter to log in to
the web management interface of the access point.
3.3 On the pop-up login screen, enter the user name and password (default is admin, password:
admin), and click "Sign in" button
System information menu screen will pop up on the screen after login as shown below.
Note: Each WiFi access point is labeled to indicate which unit is the “master” or AP “Client”. Typically, the client is
installed at the remote location while the master is at the building connected to the main network.
Each set of AP58GV3 in a box were already pre-configured and paired together to communicate. Once a correct and
valid LAN address has been assigned to each access point, they are ready to be deployed in the field. It is always a
best practice for a technician to test the WiFi connectivity between two access points on a test bench before hanging
them on a pole.

3.4 Assign a local IP address to the WiFi access point. Consult your local IP staff (if any) to find
out what network address can be used and assigned to your access point.
a. Click on LAN menu
b. Configure LAN IP address:
c. Follow the same steps mentioned above to change the IP address of the other WiFi
access point.

Advanced Configuration Settings
Warning! It is advisable to have an advanced networking skills and knowledge before making
changes to the following menu. By default, the pair is already configured in Bridge mode, and there
is no need to make changes on the LAN IP address of the access points, as long as IP devices on the AP
client side have static IP address (based on the existing private LAN IP address scheme).
The Point to Point mode is mainly used for long distance wireless connection of two bridges and
it is the most commonly used networking mode for these access points. There are two ways to
configure the network connection settings:
a. Setup through Quick Setup menu screen
b. Wireless 5GHz menu screen
Master mode configuration (also known as AP Mode)
1. Enter the “Quick Setup” menu; turn ON or OFF the 【Active Mode】. “O” means the
master mode is turned OFF and the WiFi is now in “Client” Access Point mode. Otherwise,
leave it ON position to set it up in Master AP mode. Click “Next” to go to the next
networking menu screen.

2. Disable DHCP by turning OFF the function labeled as “Get IP Automatically”. Enter your
own local IP address and subnet mask for access point as illustrated below then click “Next”
for the next menu screen.
.
3. Enter your password (default password: admin).

3. Enter Wireless Access configuration and customize according to your local preference or
application.
4.1 Radio Channel –should match later on with the partner access point;
4.2 SSID –you may customize your SSID name for later WiFi identification;
4.3 Wireless Mode –select your preferred mode: a/n/ac or mixed;
4.4 Channel bandwidth –this setting is preferred to match the partner access
point;
4.5 Extension channel –leave it in Auto mode;
4.6 Authentication & Encryption mode –select your preferred WIFI
authentication and data encryption mode.
4.7 WPA Pre-shared Key –enter your own key or passphrase.
4.8 Station number/Max. Users –assign number of client stations to be
linked to the master or number which will be an identifier for this AP. If this
value remains at 1, there will only be 1 master-client units that can be linked
together.
