Front Panel

The  Bridge’s  LEDs,  where  information  about  network 

activity is displayed, are located on the front panel.

Front Panel

POWER 

(Green)  Lights up when the Bridge is 

powered on. 

PoE 

(Green)  Lights  up  when  power  is  being 

supplied through Ethernet cable. 

WIRELESS 

(Green)  Lights  up  when  the 

wireless module is active on the Bridge. Flashes 

to indicate that the Bridge is actively sending 

or receiving data from a wireless device.

ETHERNET  (-5) 

Lights  up  to  indicate  a 

functional 10/100 Mbps network link through 

the corresponding port (1 through 5) with an 

attached  device.  Blinks  to  indicate  that  the 

Bridge  is  actively  sending  or  receiving  data 

over that port.

Back Panel

The reset button, the Ethernet ports, and the power port 

are located on the back panel of the Bridge.

Back Panel

RESET 

Press  and  hold  the  Reset  button  for 

approximately ten seconds to reset the Bridge 

to the factory default settings.

ETHERNET  -5 

These  RJ-45  ports  support 

network speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, 

and can operate in half and full-duplex modes. 

Auto-sensing technology enables each port to 

automatically detect the speed of the device 

connected  to  it  (10 Mbps  or  100 Mbps),  and 

adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
Port  5  also  supports  the  IEEE  802.3af  Power-

over-Ethernet (PoE) PD standard that enables 

DC power to be supplied to the Bridge using 

wires in the connecting twisted-pair cable. This 

allows the Bridge to draw power directly from 

the Ethernet cable without requiring its own 

separate power source. If a PoE power source 

is not available, you can use the supplied AC 

power adaptor.
To connect a device to a port, you need to use 

Category 5 (or better) network cable.

POWER 

The Power port is where you connect 

the AC power. This port is not used if you are 

using  Power  over  Ethernet  (PoE)  to  supply 

power through the Ethernet cable.
