6. Modeu Gawé

The module supports two software-controllable working modes: Router mode and Bridge + Repeater mode. Within these, specific applications are defined:

6.1. Repeater/Bridge Application

Expands your existing WiFi network. The WiFi signal can be converted to a wired signal via the RJ45 cable, connecting to network port devices. This mode is ideal for solving wiring problems in cash registers, printers, surveillance cameras, attendance machines, medical care equipment, robots, and industrial equipment.

6.2. AP Application (Access Point)

In AP mode, the module functions as a wireless access point, suitable for scenarios where a network cable connects to a computer, providing direct internet access (plug and play).

6.3. Router Application

The router mode enables wireless access for dial-up internet access and cross-network segment applications, providing routing functionality for higher-level networks.

7. Setup jeung Instalasi

7.1. Power Supply

The module supports two power supply methods:

• USB 5V/1A Power Supply: Use a USB power supply with an output of not less than 5W (5V/1A). A 5V/2A power supply is recommended for stable operation.
• suplai kakuatan DC: Use a wide voltage DC5V-15V (VM300 series) or DC5V-24V (VM5G series) power supply.

7.2. Antenna Connection (VM300-H & VM5G Series)

For models with external antennas, carefully connect the provided antennas to the RF female sockets on the module. Ensure they are securely fastened.

7.3. Embedded Installation (VM5G-fan)

The module is designed for embedded installation. For the VM5G fan version, four positioning holes are provided for accurate positioning and stable connection with external devices.

• It is recommended to use plastic screws or soft pads during installation to prevent damage.
• Do not tighten the screws too much, as this may deform the PCB and damage the module.

8. Operasi

8.1. Konfigurasi

The device parameters can be configured via a WEB page interface or the VCC mobile phone APP. Refer to the specific software manual for detailed configuration steps.

8.2. Indikator Status LED

Monitor the device status using the LED indicators:

• VM300-H/L (2.4GHz):
  • Lampu biru: Indicates WiFi state/Hotspot connection state.
  • Lampu héjo: Indicates Ethernet port state (lit for success).
• VM5G/VM5G-fan (Dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz):

10. Cara ngungkulan

10.1. Device Not Working with Specific Applications (e.g., AC managed AP, GoPro, Hikvision)

If the device does not work as expected after initial configuration, especially with AC managed APs, GoPro cameras, or Hikvision surveillance systems, change the setting of "Transmission mode" to "MAC layer transparent" in the device's configuration.

10.2. Issues with Huawei or iPhone Hotspots

When using a Huawei or iPhone as the source hotspot for WiFi Bridge, ensure you select "SSID and password match" in the "Advanced Setting" under the upper-level hotspot password during configuration.

10.3. Frequent Disconnections or Other Problems

If you experience frequent disconnections or other operational issues, try upgrading the device's software online. Software updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements that can resolve such problems.

10.4. Network Connection Detection (ICMP)

The module supports ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) function, which is used to pass control information between IP hosts and routers. This can be useful for diagnosing network connectivity issues. ICMP messages help detect connection status and ensure accuracy in data transmission.

11. Tips pamaké

• Always ensure a stable power supply to prevent unexpected shutdowns, especially during configuration or firmware updates.
• When embedding the module, consider the operating ambient temperature range to ensure stable performance, particularly for models without a fan.
• Utilize the adjustable WiFi RF output power settings to optimize wireless stability and reduce mutual interference in your specific environment.
