no open network could be found it will start ad-hoc mode. At the PC you will see a
new network called Wifi Bridge. Please make a double click on this network to start
connection.
After some seconds the Bridge should appear in Lightman Studio with the IP address
192.168.100.115. Now network parameters can be assigned as described before and
can be transmitted by clicking on the set button. The PC should reconnect to your
home network automatically afterwards. If not please trigger this process by clicking
on your network manually.
After some seconds (up to 30 seconds in case of WPA2) the Wifi Bridge should be
found again in Lightman Studio, this time with an IP address assigned by the router.
The connection process can be monitored in the log screen.
Uploading the web interface
To upload your customized web interface to the Bridge please select the web interface
tab. A click on the big button will start uploading the data to the bridge. After a few
seconds this process is finished and the Bridge is ready to use.
To open the interface it is sufficient to click on the browser button. This starts the
default browser and opens up the index page of the web interface. On smartphones
and tablets just enter the IP address of the Bridge in the address bar.

We recommend adding a bookmark to this site, so you don’t have to enter the IP
address again. Most devices including Android and iOS allow putting a bookmark icon
on the desktop. This brings the same level of comfort to the web interface as a
traditional app. Dependent on your launcher it is even possible to select the icon for
this bookmark.
Authentication
To increase security of the web interface you can assign a username and password
optionally. For this purpose just enter this data on the same tab in Lightman Studio.
Finally press the start button again to upload the modified data. From now on the
browser will ask for username and password before access to the interface is granted.
Most browsers allow saving this data, so you don’t have to enter it each time.
In case you should forget this data the Bridge will show it on startup in the log screen.
All data including the network security parameters are stored in the Bridge
permanently, even after power loss.
