4. Operation Instruction
The two bridges are pre-paired at the factory. If they do not pair and connect automatically
when you receive the product, you can read the following instructions to pair and connect
them yourself.
There are two setting modes for wireless bridges: Auto-configuration mode and Custom
configuration mode.
A. Auto-configuration Mode: Simply connect the bridge with POE adapter and Internet
source, one select "A" mode and the other select "B" mode. Keep the master and slave both
in the same channel. The two bridges will be paired automatically without any other settings.
B. Custom Configuration Mode: You must be familiar with the network technology,
otherwise the bridges may lose the network or it will not work properly. This mode is mainly
used for reading parameters and debugging, also can be used to configure
point-to-multipoint video surveillance or network expansion (reserved function).
We strongly recommend you to choose auto-configuration mode when you use this product
for the first time. You can switch to custom mode after you understand the network settings.

1) Put the bridges front side face to face in the same direction (the bracket is not included.)
2) Connect the LAN port of the bridge to the POE port of the POE adapter. The POE adapter
provides power and data transmission for the bridge. It's recommended to use a Cat 5e (or
above) shielded network cable with a ground wire.
3) The LAN port of the POE adapter connects to monitors or the internet for master bridge.
4) The LAN port of the POE adapter connects to cameras or other equipment for the slave
bridge.
4.6 Custom Configure Wireless Bridges
4.6.1 Connect the Wireless Bridges to POE adapter and PC
1) Connection the POE port of the power adapter to the LAN port of the wireless bridge;
2) Connection the LAN port of the power adapter to the LAN port of the computer;

3) Check the wireless bridge mode switch is at “A” position or “B” position, reboot the bridge
(it would take about 30s, please be patient with it). Check the numeric on the LED indicator of
the wireless bridge, for example: the numeric is 8, and the mode switch of the wireless bridge
is at “B” position, then the IP address of the wireless bridge is 192.168.255.208. (if the mode
switch of the wireless bridge is at “A” position, then the IP address of the wireless bridge is
192.168.255.108, please refer the 4.3 LED Number match to IP & SSID match to password
Chart.)
4.6.2 Modify your computer’s IP address to 192.168.255.xxx,(xxx is from 1 -254)
Please be careful, the computer’s IP address can not be the same as the wireless bridge,
and they must be in the same network segment. The following example is based on Windows
7, 8 or 10, for other versions or operating systems, please Google how to do it, it is simple
step.
To change the computer’s IP address in Windows, you’ll need to open the “Network
Connections” window. Hit Windows+R at the same time,

Type “ncpa.cpl” into the Run box, and then hit Enter.
In the “Network Connections” window, right-click the adapter, and then select the “Properties”
command.
In the properties window for the adapter, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”
and then click the “Properties” button.

Select the “Use the following IP address” option, and then type in the IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway that corresponds with your network setup. Next, select the
“Validate settings upon exit” option so that Windows immediately checks your new IP
address and corresponding information to ensure that it works. Then click the “OK” button.
And then close out of the network adapter’s properties window.

Windows automatically runs network diagnostics to verify that the connection is good. If there
are problems, Windows will give you the option of running the Network troubleshooting
wizard. However, if you do run into trouble, the wizard likely won’t do you too much good. It’s
better to check that your settings are valid and try again.
4.6.3 Login into master bridge and slave bridge control panel
1) After you modified your computer’s IP address, open the browser and enter the IP address
of the wireless bridge to access, for example, enter “192.168.255.107" on the browser
address column, you can access your bridge control panel.
The browser login interface as below diagram:

Note: If enter the IP address, the screen does not display the login interface, please check
the network cable connection, and make sure your computer's IP address must be
192.168.255.xxx.
Enter the Username and Password, the default user name and password is "admin / admin",
select language to “English”, click “Login” to confirm and go to the below interface:
On "Quick Setup" menu, you can modify the user password, click "Apply" button to confirm
