ENH500 WDS Bridge PtoP Link for IP Camera Up to 1 mile Line of sight Main Building IP Camera Device #1 Step 1: Log into device #1 (192.168.1.1, both user name and password are admin). You will need to set your computer to a static IP address in the same subnet like 192.168.1.10 Step 2: Go to “Operation Mode” and change mode to “WDS Bridge” and also select Country code and Accept change. Step 3: In “WDS Link Settings” set security type and key (we recommend AES). Then below on the same page, enable ID field 1 and enter the Wireless MAC address of device #2 (the other device). The Wireless MAC address can be found by looking at the serial label on the back of the unit. It will be the one on the top. After you’re done, hit “Accept”. Note: You can also find the Wireless MAC address of a unit on the “Main” page when logged into the unit. Step 4: Go to “Wireless Network” and change channel to 149, 153, 157, or 161 (USA) and Accept change. Step 5: In “Administration” change the default user name and password (if desired). Sept 7: In “IP Settings” change the IP address to a new, unused, static IP address on the same subnet and also enter the default gateway (example 192.168.1.5 if router is 192.168.1.1). Step 8: Apply all changes by selecting “Save/Reload” (IP address, user name and password and all other changes will now actually take effect). Step 9: Leave this unit powered on and move to device #2 (see next page). 4/15/2014 DK
ENH500 WDS Bridge PtoP Link for IP Camera Up to 1 mile Line of sight Main Building IP Camera Device #2 (Do this while device #1 is on and next to you, not installed at the remote location yet). Step 1: Log into device #2 (192.168.1.1, both user name and password are admin). You will need to set your computer to a static IP address in the same subnet like 192.168.1.10 Step 2: Go to “Operation Mode” and change mode to “WDS Bridge” and also select Country code and Accept change. Step 3: In “WDS Link Settings” set security type and key (we recommend AES). Then below on the same page, enable ID field 1 and enter the Wireless MAC address of device #1 (the other device). The Wireless MAC address can be found by looking at the serial label on the back of the unit. It will be the one on the top. After you’re done, hit “Accept”. Note: You can also find the Wireless MAC address of a unit on the “Main” page when logged into the unit. Step 4: Go to “Wireless Network” and change channel to the same channel as device #1 and Accept change. Step 5: In “Administration” change the default user name and password (if desired). Sept 7: In “IP Settings” change the IP address to a new, unused, static IP address on the same subnet and also enter the default gateway (example 192.168.1.5 if router is 192.168.1.1). Do not use the same IP address as device #1. Step 8: Apply all changes by selecting “Save/Reload”. All changes will now actually take effect. Step 9: Go to “WDS Link List” and verify link is UP. Step 10: Install unit at remote location. Go to “WDS Link List” again and verify link is UP and RSSI signal. -59dBm or better = excellent, -60dBm to -69dBm = good, -70dBm to -79dBm = good, -80dBm or worse = fair to poor. Verify speed and connectivity etc. If everything tests good, you are done (connect the camera now). Note: Output power should be the same as device #1. Default power is 20dBm. Turn it up only if RSSI is low (in “Wireless Advanced Settings”). Add a network switch to connect multiple Ethernet devices at the remote bridge (if desired). The secondary Ethernet port is “pass through” only, no POE power is available. 4/15/2014 DK
