2. Configuring IP Settings through the Hyper-terminal connection
2.1 Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 connector to the Video Server.
The DB9 goes into the Serial port COM1 on a PC, while the RJ45 connector goes into
the RS232 port on the DVS (Digital Video Server). Com port may not always be COM1
on a PC. Please check with your local PC configuration for correct selection of COM
port.
2.2 Turn ON the Video Server, and press the Reset Switch at the front panel. Turn
OFF/ON the DVS again. Skip this step if your unit does not have a reset switch.

local PC and reset these IP settings by using Remote Client software to change IP
information that will work for your own local network.
1.1.1 Change the IP information of your local PC used to configure the Wireless
IP kit. Your PC IP address should be within the same range as that of the
Wireless IP Kit. You local PC must be connected to the same router/hub
where the Wireless IP kit is also connected.
1.1.2 Make sure you have excellent network connectivity between the local PC
and the Wireless IP Kit. On your local PC,

Configuring the Wireless Access Point/Bridge
The Wireless IP Kit has a summary sheet enclosed inside the box for the default IP
settings of the Video Server and Wireless Access point. There are two ways to configure
or make changes to the IP settings of these two devices. First, use the default IP
information; second, make changes of IP settings to these two devices by making direct
connections to both devices.
A. Configuring the IP Address of Wireless Access Point/Bridge
1. Introduction
The Outdoor Wireless Bridge/Client Router/AP/Repeater operates seamlessly in the
2.4 GHz frequency spectrum supporting the 802.11b (2.4GHz, 11Mbps) and faster
802.11g (2.4GHz, 54Mbps) wireless standards. It's the best way to add wireless capability to your
existing wired network, or to add bandwidth to your wireless installation. EOC-3220 Series Wireless
Access Point/Bridge has high transmitted output power and high receivable sensitivity. High output
power and high sensitivity can extend range and coverage to reduce the roaming between APs to
get more stability in wireless connection. It also can reduce the expense of equipment in the same
environment. To protect your wireless connectivity, it can encrypt all wireless transmissions through
64/128-bit WEP data encryption and also supports WPA/WPA2. The MAC address filter lets you
select exactly which stations should have access to your network.
1.1 Initial Wiring Setup to Configure Wireless Access Point/Bridge
Step 1:
Remove the CAT5 from the IP
video server and insert the RJ45
coupler
Connect a network cable from your
PC (If using a cross over cable,
otherwise it will be a network cable
from a hub/switch) into this RJ45
coupler in order to access the Web
interface of the router’s
configuration menu.

Step 2: Connect the Wireless Antenna Ethernet cable to the POE port of the Wireless
Kit box. Plug in the main AC cable to your AC wall outlet to power up the whole
system.
