In the example above the numbers next to “Discovery
Tool” (192.168.1.253) is the IP address for the computer that opened
the Discovery Tool. To access the EZ-Bridge™, your computer IP ad-
dress must be on the same subnet ie; 192.168.1.xxx. In the example
above .253 replaces .xxx . If your computer is not on the same subnet
as the EZ-Bridge™ units you will either need to change the IP address
of your computer or the EZ-Bridge™.
Before you install the units it is important to be sure that you can login
to each bridge. Check the dBm: Due to the close proximity this will most
likely be -30. Also check the Tx and Rx rates: If the units have estab-
lished a link you should have a Tx and Rx of 54. The Tx and Rx number
will increase the longer the units are connected so don’t be concerned if
you have a low number as long as you have a rate above 10 to 20 on
each the bridge.

STEP 1:
Choose a mounting location with good line of sight to the re-
mote location. The supplied bracket can be mounted to a wall or to an
existing pole up to 2” diameter. If only short distances are needed, the
antenna can be mounted inside a building.
TECH TIP:
Microwaves travel in straight lines and they lose
strength quickly when going thru buildings and trees. If there are
objects in the microwave path, then useable distance will be re-
duced. If the target unit is less than 1 mile away then you won
’
t
have to worry too much about a couple obstructions but if over 1 mile
and there are some obstructions in the microwave path, then the perfor-
mance will be reduced
.
2.4GHz is more forgiving than 5GHz.
STEP 2:
Mount the Bracket
To mount to a wall: The supplied u-bolt is
not used and the bracket is screwed directly
to a wall using customer supplied screws.
To mount to a pole: Use the supplied U-Bolt
and wing nuts. Make sure to use a lock
washer at each wing nut. Tighten wing nuts
evenly by hand. Use pliers if additional tight-
ness is needed.
