3. คำแนะนำในการตั้งค่า

3.1 Initial Pairing (Plug-and-Play)

The BrosTrend 5KM WiFi Bridge units come pre-paired from the factory for a simplified setup. To initiate the connection:

1. Place both AP (Transmitter) and Station (Receiver) units in the same room.
2. Connect each unit to its respective power adapter and PoE injector.
3. Power on both units. They will automatically detect and pair with each other within minutes.

Initial pairing process: Power on both units in the same room for automatic connection.

3.2 Physical Installation and Mounting

The units are designed for outdoor use and can be mounted on a wall or pole. Ensure a clear line of sight between the two units for optimal performance.

• การติดตั้งบนผนัง: Use the provided screws and expansion bolts to secure the units to a flat surface.
• การติดตั้งเสา: Utilize the included plastic straps to attach the units to a pole.

The units are designed for flexible installation, supporting both wall and pole mounting.

3.3 การจ่ายไฟให้กับอุปกรณ์ (PoE)

The WiFi bridge units can be powered using one of the following methods:

• The included 12V Passive PoE injector.
• An 802.3af PoE Ethernet switch.
• A DC power adapter (included).

Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies deployment by transmitting both data and power through a single Ethernet cable, allowing installation in locations without nearby power sources.

Powering options for the WiFi bridge units, including Passive PoE and 802.3af PoE.

3.4 การเชื่อมต่อกับเครือข่ายของคุณ

After initial pairing and mounting, connect the units to your network:

1. AP (Transmitter) Setup: Connect the LAN port of the AP unit to your main router or modem using an Ethernet cable.
2. Station (Receiver) Setup: Connect the LAN port of the Station unit to your desired network device (e.g., another WiFi router, camera, laptop) in the remote building.

Connecting the AP to your main router and the Station to a wired device in the remote location.

3.5 การจัดวางเพื่อประสิทธิภาพสูงสุด

For optimal performance and maximum range, a clear line of sight between the two CPEs is required. Obstacles like trees, buildings, and large steel structures can block the wireless signal. Ensure the units are aligned within a 30-degree vertical and horizontal angle towards each other.

Proper alignment of the AP and Station units is crucial for maintaining a strong and reliable connection.

4. การใช้งานอุปกรณ์

4.1 โหมดการทำงาน

The BrosTrend WiFi Bridge supports two primary working modes:

• Point-to-Point (PtP): Connects two locations directly, extending your network from one building to another.
• Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP): Allows one AP unit to connect to multiple Station units, providing network access to several remote locations.

This image demonstrates the point-to-point connection capability of the BrosTrend WiFi Bridge, extending network access up to 5 kilometers with a clear line of sight.

4.2 ตัวบ่งชี้ความแรงของสัญญาณ

The Signal Strength LED indicators on the devices provide an intuitive way to monitor the connection quality between the AP and Station. More illuminated LEDs indicate a stronger and more reliable signal.

• LED1/LED2/LED3: These LEDs light up to show signal strength. If all three are lit, the signal is excellent. If only one is lit, the signal may not be optimal.

The Signal Strength LEDs provide visual feedback on the quality of the wireless link.

5. การบำรุงรักษา

5.1 ความทนทานต่อสภาพอากาศภายนอก

The BrosTrend WiFi Bridge features an IP65-rated enclosure, providing waterproof and dustproof protection. It also includes 6kV lightning protection and 8kV ESD protection to withstand harsh weather conditions and ensure reliable operation.

The robust outdoor design ensures the WiFi bridge can withstand various harsh weather conditions, providing reliable operation year-round.

5.2 Cable Recommendations for Outdoor Installations

For outdoor installations, it is recommended to use Cat5e or higher Ethernet cables that are shielded, UV-resistant, waterproof, and PoE-compatible. This ensures long-term durability and performance in challenging environments.

6 การแก้ไขปัญหา

If you encounter issues with your BrosTrend 5KM WiFi Bridge, consider the following:

• No Connection/Weak Signal: Ensure a clear line of sight between the AP and Station units. Obstacles such as trees, buildings, or large metal structures can significantly degrade signal quality. Verify that both units are powered on and their signal strength LEDs indicate a good connection.
• สิทธิ์การเข้าถึงการกำหนดค่า: If advanced configuration is needed, connect a computer directly to one of the units via an Ethernet cable. Access the web-based management interface using the default IP addresses (AP: 192.168.2.1, Station: 192.168.2.2) and credentials (Username: admin, Password: admin) as indicated on the product label.
• ความยาวสายเคเบิลอีเทอร์เน็ตสูงสุด: When using Passive PoE, the maximum Ethernet cable length is 196 feet (60 meters). For 802.3af PoE, the maximum length is 263 feet (80 meters). Exceeding these lengths can lead to power or data transmission issues.
• การรีเซ็ตอุปกรณ์: If issues persist, you may perform a factory reset. Refer to the Quick Installation Guide for specific instructions on locating and using the reset button.
