Chapter 4 Configuration
4-1 Start-up and Log in
In order to configure your wireless bridge, you must ensure that your computer that is either plugged
into the switch or direct to the bridge is programmed correctly via your network settings. When using
a computer to connect direction to the radio, ensure a cross-over cable is used from the computer to
the POE.
When the Orion-900 radio is powered up, expect a 40-50 second delay before you can
access it with your computer.
