
WirelessBridge/ExtenderInformation
Awirelessbridgeisanetworkdevicethatconnectstoanexistingwirelessnetworkandthenconvertsthe
wirelessnetworksignalintoawiredone(CAT‐5).Awirelessextenderisanetworkdevicethatextendstherange
ofanexistingwirelessrouter’ssignal.


FollowtheseinstructionstosetuptheZuniDigitalWirelessBridge.Forbestperformance,werecommendsetting
uptheZuniConnectBridgeclosetowhereyouintendtouseit.ForthebestresultsdonotplacetheZuniDigital
TravelConnectnearanylargemetalobjectsormagnets(likethosefoundinspeakers).Alsonotethat
elevatingthetravelrouterfromthefloorwillincreasewirelessbroadcastsignalperformanceandrange.

Step1–AttachAntennas
Removetheprotectivefilmfromthesurgeprotectorandattachthe(2)SMAantennastothemainbody.The
antennasshouldbesecure,butdonotover‐tightenthem.

Step2–PowerON
PlugthesurgeprotectorintoawalloutletandthenfliptheMainPowerSwitchtotheRESET/ONposition.Then
slidetheEthernetBridgeGreenPowerModetotheCONSTANTposition.

Step3–AttachRJ‐45EthernetCable
PlugoneendofanRJ‐45Ethernetcableintoport#1onthewirelessbridge,andthenplugtheotherendofthe
cableintoacomputer’sEthernetport.Thiscomputerwillbeusedtoconfigurethewirelessbridgeandthus
connectittoanexistingwirelessnetwork.

IntheloginwindowkeyinthedefaultUserName(admin)andPassword(admin)andclicktheOKbutton.This
willlogyouintothewirelessbridgeconfigurationutility.

Step7–SiteSurvey
Thewirelessbridgewillautomaticallysearchforavailablewirelessnetworkswithinrange.

Step8–SelectWirelessNetwork
Selectthewirelessnetworkthatyouwanttoconnecttofromtheoneslisted,andthenclicktheCONNECT
button.Ifthedesiredwirelessnetworkisnotlisted,verifythatitisoperationalandclicktheREFRESHbutton.

Step9–ApplySecuritySettings
Iftheselectedwirelessnetworkusesdataencryption,youwillberequiredtoenteraPassKey(password)in
ordertoconnectthewirelessbridgetotheexistingwirelessnetwork.Ifprompted,pleasekeyinthenetwork’s
PassKeyandclicktheAPPLYbutton.


Step10–InitializeWirelessConnection
Thewirelessbridgewillautomaticallyinitializetheconnectiontotheselectedwirelessnetwork,andalsosetup
andactivatethewirelessextenderfunction.Pleasewaitabout2minutesforthisprocesstocomplete.


Step11–InitializationComplete
Oncetheinitializationprocessiscompleteandthewirelessextendermodehasbeenactivated,clicktheNEXT
buttontofinalizeandsavethesettings.


Step12–FinalizeConnection
Thewirelessbridgewillautomaticallyfinalizetheconnectiontotheselectedwirelessnetworkandsavethe
settings.Pleasewaitabout3minutesforthisprocesstocomplete.


Step13–ExitSetup
Oncetheconnectiontothewirelessnetworkhasbeenfinalized,clicktheEXITSETUPbutton,whichwillredirect



CONNECTTOWIRELESSEXTENDER(OPTIONAL)
Followtheseinstructionstoconnectyourwirelessenableddevicestothesurgeprotector’swirelessextender.

Step1–ScanfortheWirelessExtender’sSSID(networkname)
Fromawirelessenableddevice,suchasasmartphone,laptop,netbook,tabletpc,etc.,scanforthewireless
extender’sSSID(networkname).Thewirelessextender’sSSIDwillbethesameSSIDthewirelessbridgeis
currentlyconnectedtowitha“2”attheend.ForExample:Ifthewirelessbridgeiscurrentlyconnectedtothe
“Mary’sRouter”network,thenthewirelessextenderwouldbroadcastanSSIDof“Mary’sRouter2”.


Step2–SelectSSIDandConnect
Selectthewirelessextender’sSSIDandthenconnectyourwirelessenableddevice(s)asyounormallywould.
PLEASENOTETHATTHEWIRELESSEXTENDERWILLUSETHESAMESECURITYSETTINGSANDASSOCIATED
INFORMATIONASTHEWIRELESSNETWORKTHEBRIDGEISCURRENTLYCONNECTEDTO.

SURGEPROTECTORSETUP
UsingTwoComputers(desktopsorlaptops)astheMasterDevices
FollowtheseinstructionstousetwocomputersastheMasterDevices.IfeitherMasterDevice(computer)is
poweredONthenpowerwillbesuppliedtotheControlledOutlets.IfBOTHoftheMasterDevicesarepowered
OFFthenpowerwillNOTbesuppliedtotheControlledOutlets.Pleasebeawarethatitisnotnecessarytosetup
asecondaryMasterDeviceinordertousethissurgeprotector.UsingasecondaryMasterDeviceisoptional,
andthesurgeprotectorwillfunctionnormallywithonlyoneMasterDevicesetup.

Step1–PreppingtheSurgeProtectorRemovetheprotectivefilm(orstaticbag)fromthesurgeprotectorand
verifythattherearenocracksormajordamagetothehousing.
