Overview

The WiFi Access Point transmits messages from the 
computer to the Bridge unit located near the sign. The 
Bridge receives the wireless message signal from the 
the Access Point and sends them to the sign for display.

These instructions explain how to replace an Access 
Point (AP) or Bridge unit connected to an Excite, 
RoadStar, or StreetSmart sign that is using Ooh!Media 
software.

Replacing the AP or Bridge unit consists of three steps:

Step 1 - Configure the AP or Bridge

Step 2 - Replace the AP or Bridge

Step 3 - Send a test message
