If the login page doesnt appear, please refer to Q1 in FAQ. Step1: Prepare a Base Station and 20 CPEs (O4), and put all O4 near the Base Station. Step2: Choose one O4 to perform peer to peer bridging with the Base Station. 1. Place the Base Station and the O4 next to each other. GND Reset PoE/LAN PoE adapter 2. Remove the covers of the Base Station and O4, and use Ethernet cables (CAT5e or better Ethernet cable is recommended) to connect their PoE/LAN ports to the PoE ports of the included PoE adapters respectively. 3. Use the power cords to connect the PoE adapters to power sources. When PoE/LAN LED indicators of the Base Station and O4 light up, they completes startup. Base Station GND Reset PoE/LAN O4 PoE PoE adapter PoE The Base Station in AP mode can provide WiFi network, allowing home users or small oce users to connect to the WiFi network with outdoor long range CPEs. The Base Station can work with Tenda O2 or O4. O4 is used for illustration here. O4-1 Internet P2MP Link Connection Residence Small Oce O4-2 O4-20 ISP Network Base Station + Sector Antenna Internet Caf Option 1: Automatic bridging (recommend) Tips:
Automatic bridging is only applicable when the Base Station and CPE are in factory settings. Ensure that only the Base Station and one CPE are powered on when performing peer-to-peer bridging. Otherwise, the peer-to-peer bridging may fail. When the Base Station and CPE are powered on using Ethernet cables, CAT5e or better Ethernet cable is recommended, and the length should not exceed 60 meters. For peer-to-multiple peers bridging, perform peer-to-peer bridging rst, and then power on the rest CPEs within 3 minutes. Otherwise, the bridging may fail. A Base Station can bridge to 20 CPEs at most. FAQQ1: I cannot log in to the web UI of the Base Station by entering 192.168.2.1. What should I do?
A1: Try the following methods:
Ensure that the Base Station has been connected to the power supply and the computer properly. Ensure that the IP address of the login computer is 192.168.2.X (X ranges from 2 to 254, which is not used by other devices). Restore the Base Station to factory settings. Q2: How to reset the Base Station to factory settings?
A2: Note: Resetting the Base Station clears all settings, and you need to congure it again. Method One: 1 minute after the Power LED indicator lights up, remove the cover of the Base Station, and hold down the Reset button for about 8 seconds. When all LED indicators light up once, the Base Station is restored to factory settings. Method Two: Log in to the web UI of the Base Station, choose Tools >
Maintenance, and click the Reset button. Q3: How to determine whether the bridging signal strength is optimal when the Base Station is used for bridging?
A3: Option One: Observe the signal strength LED indicators of the Base Station. The bridging signal is optimum when all of the LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators are solid on or blinking. Option Two: Log in to the web UI of the Base Station, choose Status, and check the Wireless Status on the following page:
Wireless Status Client N/A N/A 157/5785MHz 40MHz 23dBm N/A Working Mode SSID Security Mode Channel/Radio Band Channel BandWidth TX Power Wireless Client APs MAC Address Signal Strength Background Noise TX/RX Link Transmit/Receive Speed TD-MAX C8:3A:35:88:88:91 3X3 216mbps/216Mbp... Disabled
-65dBm
-116dBm Stronger signal strength (-60 is better than -70) and less background noise
(-100 is better than -90) lead to better bridging signal. Q4: The automatic bridging fails. What should I do?
A4: Try the following solutions:
If the peer-to-peer bridging fails, reset the Base Station and O4 to factory settings, and try again. If the peer-to-multiple bridging fails, ensure that the new added O4 is powered on within 3 minutes after the peer-to-peer bridging succeeds. If the problem persists, reset the Base Station and all O4, and try again. Q5: When the bridging succeeds, the LED1, LED2, and LED3 indicators do not light up or only one or two of them light up. What should I do?
A5: Try the following solutions:
Place the Base Station and O4 in an elevated location with few obstacles nearby. Adjust the Base Station in horizontal and vertical directions slowly. Wait for 20 to 30 seconds after you choose a direction. Observe the LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators of the Base Station when you are adjusting the CPE until all of LED1, LED2 and LED3 indicators lights up. Within 1 minute, the Base station and O4 will perform automatic bridging. When the bridging succeeds, the DHCP servers of the Base Station and O4 are disabled. O4 works in Client mode and its IP address is changed to 192.168.2.2. After the bridging succeeds, all O4 work in Client mode, and their IP addresses are changed to 192.168.2.2. Base Station: AP Mode LED1, LED2 and LED3 are solid on O4: Client Mode LED1, LED2 and LED3 are blinking Base Station: AP mode LED1, LED2 and LED3 are solid on O4-1: Client mode LED1, LED2 and LED3 are blinking O4-20: Client mode LED1, LED2 and LED3 are blinking Step3: Within 3 minutes after the peer-to-peer bridging succeeds, power on the rest O4. Step4: Wait for about 1 minute. When the LED1, LED2, and LED3 of these O4 are blinking, the bridging succeeds. Option 2: Setting up the Base Station and O4 using the web UI Refer to the conguration procedure in Scenario 1: Point to point connection with dish antennas to set the Base Station to the AP mode, and set all O4 to Client (Station) mode.
