4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your ANJIELO SMART AH9066 Wireless Bridge for optimal performance.

4.1. Basic Wiring

Each wireless bridge unit requires power via its POE adapter and a network connection. One unit will act as a transmitter, and the other as a receiver.

1. Connect the POE adapter to a power source.
2. Connect one end of a network cable to the POE port on the POE adapter and the other end to the LAN/POE port on the wireless bridge unit.
3. For the transmitter unit, connect another network cable from the LAN port of the POE adapter to your router or network switch.
4. For the receiver unit, connect another network cable from the LAN port of the POE adapter to your computer, DVR, or IP camera system.

4.2. Automatic Pairing

The AH9066 Wireless Bridge units are designed for automatic pairing. Once both units are powered on and connected, they will automatically establish a connection. No manual configuration is typically required for basic Point-to-Point operation.

4.3. Placement and Aiming

For optimal performance, especially over long distances, proper placement and aiming of the directional antennas are crucial. Ensure a clear line of sight between the two bridge units whenever possible. The better the aim, the better the throughput and stability of the connection.

5. Operating Instructions

The wireless bridge can be configured for various network extension scenarios.

5.1. Point-to-Point (PtP) Configuration

In a PtP setup, one bridge acts as the transmitter (connected to your main network/router) and the other as the receiver (connected to the remote device/network). This creates a direct wireless link between two locations.

5.2. Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) Configuration

For PtMP, one master bridge unit can communicate with multiple slave bridge units. This is useful for scenarios like connecting multiple IP cameras or remote devices to a central network point.

5.3. Applications

• Network Extension: Extend your home or office network to outbuildings like garages, barns, or workshops.
• Video Surveillance: Connect IP cameras over long distances to a central DVR or computer without extensive wiring.
• Internet Sharing: Share internet connectivity between buildings or remote sites.

6. Maintenance

The ANJIELO SMART AH9066 Wireless Bridge is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and IP65 rating.

• Weather Protection: The IP65 waterproof and dustproof design ensures the device can withstand harsh weather conditions. No special weatherproofing is required after installation.
• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the units for any accumulation of dirt or debris, especially on the antenna. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly check network and power cables for any signs of wear or damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your wireless bridge, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Ensure both the POE adapter and the wireless bridge unit are properly connected to a power source and that the power outlets are functional. Check all cable connections.
• No Link/Connection:
  • Verify that both bridge units are powered on and their indicator lights are active.
  • Ensure the network cables are securely connected to the correct ports on the bridge units and POE adapters.
  • Confirm that the antennas are properly aimed at each other, especially over long distances. Obstructions can significantly degrade signal quality.
  • If using a router, ensure it is functioning correctly and providing network access.
• Slow Speed:
  • Improve antenna alignment. Even slight adjustments can impact performance.
  • Check for potential sources of interference in the operating environment.
  • Ensure the connected devices (computer, camera) are not bottlenecking the network speed.
• Intermittent Connection: This could be due to environmental interference, poor alignment, or loose connections. Re-check alignment and connections.
