that you create a working plug and play link before
making ANY changes to the software settings
1. There is an HTML management system built into every EZ-Bridge™
unit which is accessed thru a standard web browser. The unit can com-
municate thru the CAT5 ethernet cable connection or thru the wireless
connection, so you can manage remote units from a single location.
NOTE:
The device will usually go into a 2minute reboot cycle
When clicking on APPLY CHANGES. During this time it will be unre-
sponsive.
2.
IP ADDRESS:
Default IP addresses for the EZ-Bridge™ are
192.168.1.139 and 192.168.1.239. To access the EZ-Bridge™ your
computer IP address must be on the same subnet ie; 192.168.1.xxx.
The EZ-Bridge ships with DHCP client enabled so if the unit has access
to your network it will get its IP address automatically from your net-
work. To find the units IP address use the Discovery Tool.
TECH TIP
: Download the EZ Discovery Tool from
http://ez-
bridge.com/support/support.htm
. This tool will assist you in finding the
EZ-Bridge™ on the network and allow you to change the IP address or
set it as a DHCP client. Just select the unit, click on IP DETAILS,
make selections, enter the user name and password and save
changes directly to the device.

SECURITY:
Security is pre-configured with system passwords,
WPA2 encryption and Mac Address verification pre-set. This is so that
you can setup a plug and play link and have confidence that the link is
secure and that your data and network are safe. Once you feel comfort-
able with the system and its operation, we would recommend the fol-
lowing security changes :
a.
PASSWORD:
Change the user name and password on
each side of the link by going to ADMIN | Web Access and re-
setting the first user name and password.
The default is user
name =
EZTEAM
and password =
link4me
b.
ENCRYPTION:
Change the WPA2 encryption key by go-
ing to SECURITY SETTINGS .
TECH TIP:
When setting encryption you must setup both sides of the
link to have identical encryption keys. You can setup the remote unit
first and then the local unit last in order to be able to configure both
units from one location across the wireless link. HEX Encryption keys
can use the letters A to F, a to f and numbers 0 to 9. Passphrase
keys can use any ASCII characters. The more random the key, the
more secure the code.
