1.) An Ethernet client (i.e.
SpreadSmart
TM
or Datashark
TM
). The Ethernet client must be
within the Transmit and Receive range of the Access Point (DB-02) which will link with
the DB-04 (bridge).
2.) A computer with an internal network-interface card (NIC).

Pre-Delivery
Step 1 - Wireless Ethernet Bridge Install
The hardware installation on the truck side consists of installing and connecting the wireless
bridge and installing the Secure Digital card (SD) into the
SpreadSmart
TM
or
Datashark
TM
system.
The wireless bridge
should be mounted on the back wall of the cab, or on the dashboard. In either
case, the wireless bridge must be installed in a protected location where the antenna is visible
through the windshield. Choose the location with cable length in mind with relationship to the
data collection device. Do not permanently mount the wireless bridge until data transfer from
truck to base station is validated (step 3-4).
