Installation and Setup

Pre-configuration and Pairing

The UeeVii Wireless Bridge units are designed for easy setup. They come pre-configured for plug-and-play operation. One unit acts as the 'Master' (AP mode) and the other as the 'Slave' (STA mode). Ensure the switch on the unit connected to your main network (router/modem) is set to 'AP' (Master), and the unit at the remote location is set to 'STA' (Slave).

To pair the devices, follow these steps:

  1. Set one unit to 'H' (Master bridge) using the internal switch.
  2. Set the other unit to 'C' (Slave bridge) using the internal switch.
  3. With both units powered on and connected via their PoE adapters, press the reset button on both units simultaneously.
  4. The units will pair successfully when their displays show the same channel number.

Maintenance

The UeeVii Wireless Bridge is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust IP65 waterproof and weather-resistant construction. To ensure optimal performance:

  • Periodically check that the units maintain a clear line of sight, free from new obstructions like growing trees or structures.
  • Ensure mounting hardware remains secure, especially after severe weather conditions.
  • No internal cleaning or user-serviceable parts are required.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your UeeVii Wireless Bridge, consider the following common solutions:

  • No Connection/Failure to Pair:
    • Verify that both units are powered on and receiving power via their PoE adapters.
    • Ensure the Master unit is set to 'H' (AP) and the Slave unit is set to 'C' (STA).
    • Confirm that the Ethernet cables are securely connected and are capable of PoE.
    • Perform the pairing process again by pressing the reset button on both units simultaneously.
    • Check for a clear line of sight between the two units. Any obstructions can significantly degrade performance.
  • Intermittent Connection:
    • Ensure the units are firmly mounted and not susceptible to movement from wind.
    • Check for new physical obstructions that may have appeared in the line of sight.
    • Verify that the PoE adapters are functioning correctly and providing stable power.
  • Slow Speeds:
    • Confirm a clear line of sight. Even partial obstructions can reduce throughput.
    • Ensure the units are aligned as precisely as possible towards each other.
    • Check for potential 2.4GHz interference from other wireless devices in the area.
  • Indicator Lights Dim:
    • The indicator lights can appear dim in bright daylight. Cup your hands around them to verify their status.
