3. Setup Guide

The CPE453 wireless bridges are designed for easy, out-of-the-box setup. They come pre-paired, simplifying the installation process. Follow these steps to establish your wireless link:

3.1 Initial Power-Up and Configuration

1. Power Your Bridges: Connect each CPE453 unit to its respective 24V PoE adapter using the provided network cables. Plug the PoE adapters into a power outlet. Ensure both units power on.
2. Set Master/Slave: One unit must be designated as the "Master" (M) and the other(s) as "Slave" (S). Use the M/S switch located on the unit's interface to set the roles. For a point-to-point connection, you will have one Master and one Slave. For point-to-multipoint, one Master and multiple Slaves.
3. Select Channel: Short press the "Reset" button on each unit to cycle through the available channels (0-F). Ensure all paired units are set to the same channel for successful communication.
4. Pairing: The units are pre-paired. Once powered and on the same channel, they should automatically establish a connection within approximately 2 minutes. The signal indicator lights on the units will illuminate to confirm a successful link.

3.2 Physical Installation

For optimal performance, ensure a clear line of sight between the Master and Slave units. The CPE453 supports both wall and pole mounting.

• Mounting Location: Choose a location that provides an unobstructed path between the units. Avoid obstacles like large trees, buildings, or dense foliage.
• Mounting Type: Use the included metal ties for pole mounting or appropriate screws (not included) for wall mounting. Ensure the units are securely fastened.
• Cable Management: Route the network cables neatly and ensure they are protected from environmental elements.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your UeeVii CPE453 Wireless Bridge, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power:
  • Ensure the PoE adapter is securely plugged into a working power outlet.
  • Check all cable connections between the unit and the PoE adapter.
• No Link/Poor Signal:
  • Verify that both Master and Slave units are set to the same channel.
  • Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the units. Obstacles can significantly degrade signal quality.
  • Check the signal indicator lights on the units. If they are not fully illuminated, reposition the units for better alignment.
  • Confirm that the M/S switch is correctly set for each unit (one Master, others Slave).
• Network Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure your router or network device connected to the Master unit is functioning correctly.
  • Verify the device connected to the Slave unit is properly configured to receive network access.
  • Restart both the Master and Slave units, as well as any connected network equipment (router, PC).
