User's Manual

Once the hardware is checked out to work properly with the intended host device

or network equipment, the radio can be secured to a desired location using the

bundled mounting kit.

Ethernet Connection (station)

When configured as a Station, the Virtual Cable Wi-Fi can be connected to a

computer’s Ethernet port, or a router's WAN port via the included Straight-

through UTP cable. Please note that, as dictated by the 802.11 standards, only

one MAC address can be supported by a Station radio. As a result, a Virtual

Cable Wi-Fi configured as a Station will not function properly when

connected to a hub or switch plugged in with multiple computers/network-

devices. So as a rule, straight-through cable is always used to connect a Virtual

Cable Wi-Fi Station to a computer or a network device.

If you wish to connect multiple PCs via a single Virtual Cable WiFi station, see

"Appendix C: Virtual Cable Wi-Fi Applications"

Status LEDs

Use the LED status indicators to make sure that the Virtual Cable Wi-Fi station is

communicating properly:

LED Color Light Blinking Pattern

ON RED Steady on

RX GREEN Steady on

TX RED on, when transmitting RF signal

LINK YELLOW Flickering when communicating over the Ethernet

port; steady-on when Ethernet connection is absent
