Cooper Bussmann 945U-E Wireless Ethernet Modem & Device Server User Manual
Rev Version 2.14
Figure 7 Bridge
A Router connects devices on different LANs. The IP addresses for the Ethernet and wireless sides are different.
In the example in Figure 8, the wireless link is part of LAN A with the Client unit acting as a Router between LAN A
and LAN B.
Alternatively, the Access Point could be configured as a Router. The wireless link is then part of LAN B. If more than
two routers are required within the same radio network, then routing rules may need to be configured (see “3.17
Routing Rules” for details). There is no limit to the number of Bridges in the same network, although there is a limit
of 128 Client units linked to any single Access Point.

1.1 Getting Started Quickly
Most applications for the 945U-E require little configuration. The 945U-E has many sophisticated features, but if
you do not require these features you can use this section to configure the units quickly.
To get started quickly:
1. Read “Chapter 2 - INSTALLATION.” The 945U-E requires an antenna and a power supply.
2. Power the 945U-E and make an Ethernet connection to your PC.
For detailed steps, see “3.2 Configuring the Unit for the First Time.”
3. Set the 945U-E address settings as described in “3.2 Configuring the Unit for the First Time.”
4. Save the configuration.
The 945U-E is now ready to use.
Before installing the 945U-E, bench test the system. It is much easier to locate problems when the equipment is
altogether. There are additional configuration settings, that may improve the operation of the system. For more
information, see “3.0 Startup.”
