Installing hardware :

Take out the airBridge from its packing and place it on the desk. Connect the AC adapter to the mains inlet. If the mains inlet is of different type use necessary adapter. Plug the output cord of the AC adapter into the airBridge's 12V DC in socket.

Please do not use other AC adapters because the polarity could be reverse or the current rating may not be adequate.

Once the airBridge is powered the Orange LED PWR lights up indicating the device is powered. Now connect the Ethernet port of airBridge to the Ethernet port of the computer through the Ethernet cable provided. On the airBridge the Orange LED shows POWER, Green LED indicates Ethernet activity, Blue LED indicates association status (Bright glowing LED indicates the association with some Access Point).

By default the airBridge should automatically associate and work with the available Access Point on the network. If you want to select a specific Access Point or configure the additional parameters ( like WEP Keys ) please install the setup Software.

Installing setup Software : The factory default parameters for the airBridge are Note 1:

The administrator should change his password so that configuration settings are not modified by unauthorized personnel, User password allows User to view the config settings but doesn’t allow to Change. Only administrator has the authority to change config setting.

Note 2:

The WISPs are recommended to install simple Monitor software on the end user's PC. This will help WISPs to configure/troubleshoot device related issues at the user's site.

Note 3:

The WISPs are recommended to use a special tool, simpleDeploy, to change factory default parameters to WISP specific values.

simpleDeploy™ is a Windows based application to configure the smartBridges radios with the default operating parameters. The one click configuration of device simplifies the field installations and result in significant cost reduction of the deployment costs. In addition, this method helps to bring consistency in the installations and improve quality.

Hardware restoration of Default Settings :

Use this option to restore back to the factory settings in case of any error or forgotten password. Press and hold the “reset” key on the back of the airBridge continuously. The TX/RX LED will dim its light intensity for few seconds. Release the key after the LED restores back to its original brightness intensity level. After restoring the factory settings reconfigure the airBridge again.
