How we get the wireless bridge working?

The Wireless Bridge has two mode, auto mode and customize mode.

1. Auto mode: simply connect the bridges with POE adapter and internet source, one set for "A" mode, another set to "B" mode, the both bridges will pair automatically, no any other settings, just plug to play.

In this mode, you can use the bridge to extend network access(point to point method) or works as long range video surveillance transmission(point to point method), please visit Auto Mode Shortcut Guide for more details.

2. Customize mode: by this mode you need connect to computer to configure the parameters, you must familiar with network technology, otherwise it may lose internet or not working properly.

In this mode, you need enough network knowledge, it can works with point to multiple point for video surveillance or network extend, please visit Customize Mode Shortcut Guide for more details.

we strang suggest you choose auto mode when you first time use this product, after you get knowledge of the network settings you can switch to customize mode.

CPE335 CPE355 CPE385 CPE450 Interface:

CPE220 CPE320 Interface:

Note: The operation of the 5 models is the same, we choose CPE220 as the default image.

Package Included:
2 x Wireless Bridges
2 x POE Power Adapter
2 x Metal Hoops
1 x User Manual

2. Install Wireless Bridge

1. Put the bridges front side face to face in the same direction, note: the bracket is not included in the package.

2. Use a long network cable to connect the PoE adapter and the bridge.
Connect the LAN port of the bridge to the PoE port of the PoE adapter. It's recommended to use a cat 5e(or above) shielded network cable with a ground wire.

3. Connect the LAN port of the PoE adapter to the camera, PC. router or switch. The PoE adapter provides power and data transmission for the bridge.

4. The LAN port of the PoE adapter connects to monitors or the internet for master bridge, and the LAN port of the PoE adapter connects to cameras or routers or other equipment for slave bridge.

Note: before installation, please check whether the wireless bridge is paired well, please refer the master and slave pair setting page.

3. Pre-Paired Wireless Bridges, Plug & Play

The two bridges are pre-paired in factory. When you get the bridges, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect the PoE adapter and the bridge. Once connected, they will pair and connecting automatically. When they are successfully connected, the green signal indicator turns into the solid light state. If you receive the product and they cannot automatically pair and connect, you also can read the following instructions to pair and connect by yourself.

4. Video Transmission & Network Extend

The wireless bridge is widely used in highways, reservoir river monitoring, elevator monitoring systems, site crane monitoring systems, port terminal monitoring systems, marine aquaculture monitoring systems and so on.

The wireless bridge for video transmission usually covers in master and slave mode respectively. At the slave side(transmitting data) the bridge connects with the IP camera. At the master side(receiving data)the bridge connects with a video recorder. The master receives wireless data transmitted from multiple clients, and it's easy and convenient for centralized management of the remote equipment.

The wireless bridge not only helps you in remote monitoring, but also helps you extend the network signal to warehouses, barns, garages and other buildings near your home.

8. Wireless Bridge Master & Slave Pairing

8.1 Configure the master and slave mode
There are one pair wireless bridges in the package, simply set a bridge to master mode (switch to “A” position), another bridge to slave mode (switch to “B” position), please refer below diagram:

a. move the mode switch to “A” position, the device works as master mode, the round LED light on.

b. move the mode switch to “B” position, the device works as slave mode, the round LED light turn on.

How to pair it?

Set a bridge to master mode, another to slave mode, short press the reset button to change the channel from "0" - "F", the LED indicator will display the numeric to show what channel it is, please keep the master and slave both in the same channel.

Note: the bridges are pre-paired, just connect to PoE adapter, it will auto pair in a few minutes, you can adjust the channel.

Reset: if the system halt, press and hold the "RST" button over 10 seconds, system will restart, the LED display will flash numeric

8.2 Example

1. move the switch to master mode, short press the rest button to adjust the channel to “6", the LED indicator will display “L”for a second, then flashes the numeric “6" every second, means the master setting is ok, wait for pairing.

2. move the switch to slave mode, short press the rest button to adjust the channel to “6", the LED indicator will display “L” for a second, then flashes the numeric “6" every second, keep both bridges front side face to face, wait for a few seconds, the flashes numeric of the LED indicator will stop flashing, and change to always light on, please check the master bridge should be the same status, now, the pair is successful.

After the bridges were paired, connect the internet source to the LAN port of the PoE adapter of the master bridge,the LAN port of the PoE adapter of the slave bridge connect to router or computer’s LAN port, it can be extend your WiFi to a long range.

The master bridge also provide WiFi hot point(the Slave does not support), you need enter the password to access, please referLED Number match to IP & SSID match to password Chart to find out the password.

Troubleshooting

Trouble 1: Packet Latency
Possible issue:
1. Wireless interference
2. Distance is too long, or there are some walls between the bridges
3. Wireless bridge's install angle in the wrong direction, weak signal
4. The current channel is congested
Solution steps:
1. Use WiFi analysis to choose the best channel,
2. The two wireless bridge should be in 1.86ML distance, avoid the wall
3. Adjust the angle of the bridge according to the signal strength.
4. Update the characters of bridge and pair again, different characters represent different channel, a free channel will get better performance.

Trouble 2:Wrong Password
Possible issue:
1. Forget the password
2. Input wrong password
3. WiFi password is confused with the WEB access password
Solution steps:
1. Press the "Rest” button in 10s to reset the bridge, the default password is “admin”.
2. Re-input the password
3.WEB access user namer and password is "admin", The WiFi hotpoint password you can find on LED Number match to IP & SSID match to password Chart.

Trouble 3: Can't access from computer
Possible issue:
1. LAN connection or ethernet cable has issue
2. Local IP is not in the same network segment of the bridge’s IP
3. Local IP is taken by other device
Solution steps:
1. Make sure the wireless bridge is connected to the computer and the network cable quality is cat 5e or above and it is in good condition.
2. Set the computer's local IPv4 address to the same of the bridge. For details, please refer to the page 11, page 12, page 13.
3. The set IPv4 address is the same as that of other device, so replace it with other IPv4 addresses.

Trouble 4:System LED light off
Possible issue:
1. PoE adapter is damaged
2. The bridge’s PoE port or LED part may broken
3. Ethernet cable may loose, RJ45 port may incorrect, power current
voltage is lower or wrong.
Solution steps:
1. Check the PoE adapter or PoE switch is works
2. Check the PoE port of bridge is good condition
3. Check the Ethernet cable connection, may the Ethernet cable plugged into wrong port, please go back to page for details
4. Check the voltage is correct, if the socket broken, and check the output voltage of the PoE adapter is 24V
5. Contact us for replacement items

Trouble 5:Low transmission Rate
Possible issue:
1. Packet Latency
