2-7 Installing the ODU The MTI AP5822 can be mount on a 2” Steel or Stainless Steel Tube. You can reference the Figure. ODU Configuration You can refer the photo here for installation. 2-8 Connecting the cable An Ethernet cable connects the ODU to the POE output port. The cable connects power to the ODU and allows Ethernet data to flow between Stations with Bridge system. Another Ethernet cable connects the station to POE input port.
2-9 Align the Antenna (TBD) Antenna alignment is performed with both the near-end and the far-end terminals operating. The antenna position is adjusted while monitoring the RSSI for antenna alignment voltage. The higher the RSSI voltage reading is, the stronger the signal. The range of the RSSI voltage reading is from 0 to 3.28VDC, and the resolution is 256 divisions. Caution: To ensure optimum system performance, the main lobe of the antenna must be aligned with the center of the far end antenna.
Chapter 3 Bridge Network Configuration This chapter provides procedures for connecting and configuring the Bridge to a Host PC (HPC). Configuration can be performed either from a web browser accessing the built-in web server. For detailed information on using the web server, refer to “Bridge Web Server”. 3-1 Bridge Network Connections Connect the HPC to the Bridge using one of the following two methods: n Use an Ethernet crossover cable (not supplied) to connect directly to the Ethernet port of the HPC.
3-2 Network Configuration Follow these steps to configure the HPC for Bridge network control: n From the HPC’s Start menu, choose Settings and open the Network and Dial-up Connections dialog box. n Right -click on the Local Area Connection icon that belongs to the Ethernet controller connected to the Bridge, and select Properties. n Within the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box n Click OK to continue and close the Internet Protocol Properties dialog Notices If you use the same HPC to ping/connect the same IP bridges, you must clear the route table in the HPC first. Otherwise, you won’t find other bridge. In Microsoft Windows system, you can do it by enter following command in DOS command mode: (assume the ARP program is under the path of c:\windows\system32) C:\windows\system32>ARP –D 3-3 Bridge Initial Configurations This sectio
3-4 Web Browser Follow these steps to configure the channel frequency and SSID using a web browser: n Launch a web browser (Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer are examples of commonly used web browsers). n From the HPC, enter the IP address that is assigned to the Bridge as the URL address, for example http://192.168.1.1. The Bridge Web Server homepage will appear (see Figure). BRIDGE Web Server Homepage n Select the Bridge Web Server hotlink. n A dialog box appears requesting login authorization.
System Basic Configuration Window n Enter the SSID (name or address) for the Bridge in the SSID field. The SSID must be 1–32 characters in length. To configure a single SSID to have more than one Bridge in a single SSID, specify a unique System Name for each Bridge within that single SSID. n Specify the radio frequency operation of the Bridge by selecting the desired value from the Radio Channel drop-down menu.
Bridge Web Server Homepage n Select the MTI Outdoor Bridge Web Server hotlink. n A dialog box appears requesting login authorization. When prompted, enter the following information to log in: Log in: Admin (case sensitive) Password: 5up n Click OK to complete the login process. NOTE: The web browser must support frames and Java script must be enabled. The Bridge Web Server Basic Configuration window appears (see Figure.) 802.
Basic Configuration Window 3-6 Configuration Windows The Web Server Configuration windows allow viewing and editing of configuration information for the Bridge.
3-8 System Basic Configuration Window The System Basic Configuration window allows the setting of general operating information for the Bridge. Click on Configuration from any window to access the System Basic Configuration window (see Figure). Bridge System Basic Configuration Window Set the value of default gateway address to PC IP or router port IP. Other settings can also be changed at this time. Table A-2 summarizes the data fields on the System Basic Configuration window. Table A-2.
3-9 System Advanced Configuration Window The System Advanced Configuration window allows the setting of detail operating information for the Bridge. Click on button from any window to access the System Advanced Configuration window (see Figure below). Table summarizes the data fields on the Radio Advanced Configuration window. Table Radio Advanced Configuration Window Field Descriptions Advanced Configuration Field Description Data Rate Specifies rate of data transmission.
3-10 Advanced Setup Window The Advanced Setup Window let you setup the distance between two bridges to make the traffic more efficiency. See the following figure for Advance Setup Window. Bridge System Advance Setup Window NOTE: Select the distance between both bridges used in point to point connection. It’s not necessary to select exact distance value in this input, but using a value bigger than actual value is most important. A smaller value selected may cause link fail.
3-12 Statistics Windows From the Bridge Web Server, choose the Statistics hyperlink to go to the Bridge Statistics window. By default, this is the first window that appears once the Bridge Web Server opens. The Bridge Statistics window allows viewing of the assigned ID, MAC address, and current state of the Bridge and all stations currently part of its BBS (Basic Service Set). The top-level Statistics window automatically updates each minute.
