Getting Started
The system is plug and play so no configuration is necessary to get a
working secure wireless network link up and running. Unpack the
Q-
Bridge
TM
unit and accessories. You should have all the parts shown
below. In addition, you will find AC power cords and a pair of short
Ethernet jumper cables (patch cords).
STEP 1:
Assemble the square tube to the back of the
Q-Bridge
TM
unit
using 4 nuts. Don’t overtighten, just needs to be moderately tight
.
STEP 2:
Decide which polarity you will be using,
Horizontal
or vertical.
We highly recommend using
Horizontal
polarity because there is a lot
less interference when using this polarity. When the unit is in
Horizontal
polarity the RJ45 ethernet connector is in the lower
right hand
corner.
When the unit is in vertical polarity, the RJ45 ethernet connector is in
the lower
left hand
corner.
NOTE:
In order for the antennas to talk to
each other, both units must be mounted with the same polarity
.
STEP 3:
Decide on the mounting location for the units. This is probably
the single most important part of the installation. For best performance
and longest distances, the units should be mounted outside within sight
of each other. If just shooting a short distance, the units can be
mounted inside and a link can be established thru a wall or window.
The
Q-Bridge
TM
comes complete with a
Qwik
Clamp pole mounting
system which can be used to mount to an existing pole like a TV an-
tenna or a CB Radio antenna pole. It also includes a wall mount bracket
that will allow attachment to the wall of a structure or possibly a tree.
We recommend that, if possible, the
Q-Bridge
TM
be mounted high on
the wall of a house under an eave which will provide added protection
from snow and freezing rain and the sun .
TECH NOTE:
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 reduced. 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 performance will be reduced
.

e.
Create an online gaming link with a friend up to 4 miles away.
Reduce or eliminate extra fees you might be paying for online
access for gaming purposes. And have more bandwidth for the
increased complexity of future games including Voice and Video.
f.
Create a secure link for remote video and network based security
cameras. The
Q-Bridge
TM
works with all network based security
cameras.
Create a streaming video conference link between
buildings. Because of the high 4.5Mb/sec bandwidth available
with the
Q-Bridge
TM
, it easily supports streaming video technolo-
gies used for remote conferencing, like church meetings, busi-
ness meetings, etc.
