4. سيٽ اپ

The CPE661 wireless bridge system is designed for plug-and-play setup. Follow these steps for initial configuration:

1. انپيڪ اجزاء: احتياط سان پيڪنگ مان سڀئي شيون هٽايو.
2. پاور ڪنيڪشن: Connect the included 24V PoE adapters to each CPE661 unit via the LAN/PoE port. Plug the adapters into a power outlet.
3. Master/Slave Assignment: Verify that one unit is set to 'A' (Master) and the other to 'B' (Slave) using the physical switch on the unit.
4. چينل ملائڻ: The units are pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed, short press the reset button on each unit to cycle through channels until both units display the same channel number.
5. نيٽ ورڪ سان نيو: Connect the Master Bridge's LAN port to your existing router or network device using an Ethernet cable.
6. Connect Remote Devices: The Slave Bridge can connect to devices either wirelessly (via its built-in WiFi hotspot) or via its LAN port to a switch, computer, or IP camera.

5. آپريٽنگ موڊس

The CPE661 supports various operating modes to suit different network extension needs.

5.1 Point-to-Point (PtP) Network Extension

In PtP mode, two CPE661 units create a dedicated wireless link to extend your network. The Master Bridge connects to your main network, and the Slave Bridge provides network access at the remote location. This is ideal for extending internet to a separate building like a barn or garage.

5.2 Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) Networking

For PtMP applications, one Master Bridge can connect to multiple Slave Bridges, allowing you to extend your network to several remote locations simultaneously. Ensure all Slave Bridges are within the Master Bridge's line of sight and within the recommended angular range (typically 60 degrees).

5.3 Dual WiFi Broadcasting

A key feature of the CPE661 is its ability for both the Master and Slave units to broadcast WiFi signals directly. This eliminates the need for an additional router at the remote end, allowing devices like phones, tablets, smart TVs, and wireless cameras to connect directly to the bridge's WiFi network.

6.2 Alignment for Optimal Performance

For best performance, ensure a clear line of sight between the Master and Slave bridges. Obstructions like buildings or dense foliage can degrade signal quality. Aim the units directly at each other for maximum throughput.

7. پاور جا اختيار

The CPE661 offers flexible power options to simplify outdoor and remote installations.

• LAN1 پورٽ: Supports 24V Passive PoE (Non-standard). This is typically powered by the included 24V PoE adapter.
• LAN2 پورٽ: Supports 24-48V Active PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at compliant). This allows the unit to be powered by a compatible PoE switch, enabling unified power management for multiple devices.
