5. TRANSMIT POWER (Tx Power): Normally there wouldn’t be any
reason to change the power setting. The factory default setting is
250mW 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 to ~100mW. 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
performance degrades.
TECH TIP: You may want to play around with different settings to
see what works best for your particular link. The measurement you
would use to compare settings would be to measure the actual thruput
by timing the transfer of data across the link. One program that we have
found useful for determining thruput is DISKBENCH. (
6. 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 WIRELESS and then click on SITE SURVEY then REFRESH. The
list will show all wireless devices including channel #, MAC Address
and relative signal strength of all the devices within the range of the EZ-
Bridge™ .
NOTE:
Because SSID broadcast is disabled for security reasons, the
EZ-Bridge™ won’t show up in any site survey.
7. FACTORY DEFAULTS: If at any time the system stops working be-
cause of changes made to the settings, you can get back to the original
settings by resetting to factory defaults. Go to ADMIN | Reset Settings
to Defaults. You will need to reset both sides of the link in this way. Al-
ways reset the remote unit first and the local unit second. Any custom-
ized settings will be lost once this process is initiated.
If you cannot access the web page on the unit you can do a manual
reset. Remove bottom cover of unit. Power up the unit, wait 2 mins,
press and hold the black reset button for 15secs, release and wait 2
mins for reboot.
8. UPGRADE FIRMWARE: For the latest firmware point your browser
Download the latest firmware to your
PC. Select UPGRADE from the menu and then browse for the new file.
9. CHANGING TO CLIENT: The EZ-Bridge™ can be changed to a cli-
ent device on the WIRELESS|BASIC SETTINGS page. You might
change to client if you wanted to have multiple units communicating
