3.1 Powering the CPEs

The CPEs can be powered using one of two methods:

1. Via PoE Injector (Recommended): Connect the PoE/LAN port of the CPE to the PoE port of the included PoE injector using an Ethernet cable. Then, connect the DC power adapter to the PoE injector and plug it into an electrical socket.

2. Via DC Power Adapter (Direct): Connect the DC power adapter directly to the DC port of the CPE.

සටහන: The PoE injectors are designed for indoor use only.

3.2 Automatic Pairing (Plug-and-Play)

The BrosTrend WiFi Bridge kit comes pre-paired from the factory for easy setup. To initiate automatic pairing:

1. Place both CPE units (one AP/Transmitter, one Station/Receiver) in the same room.
2. Power on both CPEs using one of the methods described above.
3. The units will automatically pair within approximately 1 minute.

You can identify the AP (Transmitter) and Station (Receiver) units by checking the labels on their backs. The AP unit's PoE/LAN indicator will light solid green, while the Station unit's PoE/LAN indicator will also light solid green upon successful power-on.

3.3 Installation and Placement

Once paired, the CPEs are ready for outdoor installation. Proper placement is crucial for optimal performance.

• පැහැදිලි දර්ශන රේඛාව: A clear, unobstructed line of sight between the AP (Transmitter) and the Station (Receiver) is essential. Obstacles such as trees, buildings, or large steel structures can significantly block the wireless signal and reduce performance.
• පෙළගැස්ම: Aim the front of the AP (Transmitter) directly towards the front of the Station (Receiver). For optimal signal transmission, they should be 100% face-to-face. In some cases, vertical or horizontal alignment within a 60° angle range may be necessary.
• සවි කිරීමේ විකල්ප: The units support both wall-mounted and pole-mounted installations.

4.1 Signal Strength Indicators

The CPE units feature LED indicators to help you assess the signal strength and ensure proper alignment:

• Good Signal: Both LED1 and LED2 indicators on the AP (Transmitter) stay solid on. On the Station (Receiver), both LED1 and LED2 blink slowly.
• Decent Signal: The LED1 indicator on the AP (Transmitter) stays solid on, while LED2 turns off. On the Station (Receiver), LED1 blinks slowly, and LED2 turns off.
• Fair or No Signal: Both LED1 and LED2 indicators on both the AP (Transmitter) and Station (Receiver) turn off.

4.2 Point-to-Point (PtP) Connection

The primary function of this kit is to establish a Point-to-Point wireless link. The AP (Transmitter) connects to your main network (e.g., router/modem) and transmits the signal. The Station (Receiver) receives this signal and can then connect to another router, switch, or individual devices (like cameras, laptops) in the remote building, extending your network.

4.3 Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) Application

For Point-to-Multipoint applications, you can connect up to 15 Station (Receiver) units to one AP (Transmitter). This is ideal for scenarios requiring multiple remote network extensions, such as surveillance camera systems across a large property. For PtMP setup, manual configuration of the AP (Transmitter) and Station (Receiver) via the user interface pages is required. This process requires a good understanding of network configuration knowledge.

5. නඩත්තු කිරීම

The BrosTrend Outdoor WiFi Bridge is designed for durability in various weather conditions:

• Weatherproof Enclosure: Rated IP65 for protection against dust and water ingress.
• අකුණු ආරක්ෂණය: Features 6KV lightning protection.
• ප්‍රශස්ත ආරක්ෂාව: While designed for outdoor use, placing the units under eaves or other sheltered locations can further extend their lifespan and maintain performance.
• කේබල් රැකවරණය: Use qualified Cat5e or higher outdoor PoE-compatible Ethernet cables that are waterproof, shielded, UV-resistant, and capable of withstanding high and low temperatures for outdoor installations.

6. දෝශ නිරාකරණය

• No Signal / Poor Connection:
  • Ensure a clear line of sight between the AP (Transmitter) and Station (Receiver). Obstacles like trees or buildings can severely degrade signal quality.
  • Verify that both units are correctly aligned and facing each other. Use the signal strength LEDs to assist with alignment.
  • Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and properly seated.
• බල ගැටළු:
  • Confirm that the power adapters are plugged into working electrical outlets.
  • If using PoE, ensure the Ethernet cable is correctly connected to the PoE port on the injector and the PoE/LAN port on the CPE.
• අතරමැදි සම්බන්ධතාවය:
  • Environmental factors (heavy rain, snow, strong winds) can temporarily affect signal stability.
  • Ensure outdoor-rated Ethernet cables are used to prevent degradation from weather exposure.
  • Check for new obstructions that may have appeared in the line of sight.
• Network Speed is 100Mbps ONLY:
  • The 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port of the WiFi bridge provides wired speeds up to 100Mbps ONLY. The 867Mbps speed refers to the wireless data transmission between the two CPEs.
