Introduction
This manual provides step-by-step instruction on how to setup a wireless link and test the
Ethernet Bridge’s ability to transport data over varying ranges and conditions.

Quick Setup
Hardware Setup
Each RF Modem automatically selects the best radio channel, encrypts the Ethernet traffic and
transports the data wirelessly to its matched pair. Cross-over cables are not necessary since the
RF modems automatically sense the device (client vs. switch).
