required. Avoid making any changes to the settings if you are not sure
what that setting does. Please refer to our FAQs and knowledge base
articles if you have questions.
3. SECURITY: Security is pre - configured with system passwords and
WPA2 encryption 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 comfortable with the system and its
operation, we would recommend the following security changes :
a. PASSWORD: Change the password on each side of the link
by going to ADMINISTRATION and re - setting the user interface
password. The default password = link4me . The user name,
EZTEAM, cannot be changed .
b. ENCRYPTION: Change the WPA2 encryption key by going
to WIFI | EDIT | WIRELESS SECURITY | KEY .
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. Keys can use any
ASCII characters. The more random the key, the more secure the code.
4. CHANNELS: The default channel is set to AUTO on both units. The
only reason you might want to set a fixed channel is if you experience
interference from local wireless systems and you find a channel that
works better. To change the channel go to WIFI | EDIT | Device Config-
uration | CHANNEL.. NOTE: You only need to change the channel on
the AP side. The client will automatically follow after a few minutes.
5. SITE SURVEY: The site survey is a very useful tool to determine
what wireless devices are within range of your EZ - Bridge
®
and could be
a source of interference that could cause degraded performance. Go to
WIFI page and then click on SCAN . The list will show information on all
wireless devices within the range of the EZ - Bridge
®
.
6. TRANSMIT POWER (Tx Power): Normally there wouldn ’ t be any
reason to change the power setting. The factory default setting is MAX.
which should be good for most applications. If you have a very short
link you will actually get better performance if you turn down the Tx
Power. This is because at close range there is too much power and it
has a tendency to overload the input stage of the units and perfor-
mance degrades. The best performance will be seen with signal
strength of – 40 to – 60 dBm. This signal strength can be viewed on the
bottom of the WIFI page. To change the Tx power go to WIFI | EDIT |
TRANSMIT POWER. We recommend starting by cutting power in half
and then increasing till the “ sweet spot ” is found. Both antennas should
