CONFIGURATION
If the Wi-Fi Bridge has been previously configured, it is first necessary to reset the bridge to factory defaults. First, unplug any power
source on either of the two DIN connectors. Next, hold down the reset button (see image above) while reconnecting the bridge to
a power source through one of the two DIN connectors. Continue holding the button for several seconds after the bridge starts up.
The “1” LED should begin to blink slowly. At this point, the reset button can be released, and the bridge is ready for configuration.
In configuration mode, the bridge acts as a wireless access point. Connect a computer or mobile device to the “LPConnectBridge”
wireless network. The password is “Leggett&Platt”. Once connected, open a web browser to
http://192.168.1.1/
. If your web
browser requests a password or shows an error message indicating “Request URI too long,” your computer is connected to the
wrong network, or it may have cached the router or access point configuration page from a different network – you may need to clear
browser cache or open a private browsing window.
From this website, you can configure the bridge to join a wireless
network using the “Network Configuration” tab. You can also
change the device ID of each of the connected devices using the
“CAN Device List” tab.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
In the “Network Configuration” tab, you can connect the
bridge to a new wireless network and set its IP settings.
1. Select “Use DHCP” or “Use static IP settings below”
depending on your desired network configuration. If
“Use static IP settings below” is checked, you must
enter a valid IP address, gateway, and subnet mask.
2. Click to scan for wireless networks. A list of wireless
networks in range will be shown, with a signal
strength indicated for each.
3. Click on the network to join, and enter the security
key if prompted. If the network you wish to join does
not appear, click “Other Network…” and enter the configuration settings manually.
4. If you want to disable the configuration website for enhanced security, check the box. This will prevent unauthorized users who
might somehow gain access to your wireless network from reconfiguring the Wi-Fi bridge in the future.
5. The bridge will reboot and connect to the selected wireless network. You will have to connect your computer or mobile browser
to the wireless network and point the browser to the device’s IP address to access the device’s website again.
