5 Using the Configuration Menu To configure the Outdoor Bridge, use a computer which is connected to the Outdoor Bridge with an Ethernet cable (see the Network Layout diagram). First, disable the Access the Internet using a proxy server function. To disable this function, go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and uncheck the enable box. Start your web browser program (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator). Type the IP address and http port of the Outdoor Bridge in the address field ( and press Enter. Make sure that the IP addresses of the Outdoor Bridge and your computer are in the same subnet. After the connection is established, you will see the user identification window as shown. Note: If you have changed the default IP address assigned to the Outdoor Bridge, make sure to enter the correct IP address. 5

6 If you want to change setting, you will see the user identification window as shown. Type admin in the User Name field Type default the Password field blank Click OK 6

7 Device IP Setting Ethernet LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the Outdoor Bridge. These settings may be referred to as private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. IP address: The default IP address is Assign a static IP address that is within the IP address range of your network. 7

8 IP Netmask: Enter the subnet mask. All devices in the network must share the same subnet mask.. 8

9 IP Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway in your network. (Note: If you change any item, click submit to store the value. Or click clear to restore previous value. To make settings working click Submit-> Reboot-> Reboot.) 9

10 AP Setting --> Wireless0 or Wireless1 Wireless Mode: Bridge/AP Bridge/WDS Routing/AP Routing/WDS or Disable Wireless. Select Bridge/AP if you want to set wireless in AP mode. 10

22 Trouble Shooting 1.This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge Wireless Access Point. We cover various aspects of the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems. Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge Wireless Access Point. The computer used to configure the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge cannot access the Configuration menu. Check that the Ethernet LED on the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge is ON. If the LED is not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely inserted. Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please see item 3 (Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly) in this Troubleshooting section to check that the drivers are loaded properly. Check that the IP address is in the same range and subnet as the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this manual. Note: The IP address of the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge is All the computers on the network must have a unique IP address in the same range, e.g., x. Any computers that have identical IP addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., Do a Ping test to make sure that the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge is responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping A successful ping will show four replies. Note: If you have changed the default IP address, make sure to ping the correct IP address assigned to the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge. 22

23 2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure mode. Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct access point,and please make sure you have selected the correct available network, as shown in the illustrations below. Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP address range as the access point and gateway. Since the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge has an IP address of , wireless adapters must have an IP address in the same range, e.g., x. Each device must have a unique IP address; no two devices may have the same IP address. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network.) To check the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP address will be displayed. Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of this manual.) If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wireless adapter, please refer to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you are entering a DNS Server address you must also enter the Default Gateway Address. (Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router, you will not need to 23

24 assign a static IP address. See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.) 3. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception? Wireless outdoor products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want. However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of this manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your wireless products. 4. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping? Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, other home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your router, access point and wireless adapter to a different channel to avoid interference.keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc. 5. Why can t I get a wireless connection? If you have enabled encryption on the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge, you must also enable encryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection. Make sure that the SSID on the router and the wireless client are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Move the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge and the wireless client into the same room and then test the wireless connection. Disable all security settings. Turn off your Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge and the client. Turn the Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge back on again, and then turn on the client. Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode. 24

25 Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected. Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are correctly entered for the network. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, other home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your Wireless Outdoor AP/Bridge, and on all the devices in your network to avoid interference. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc. 25
