Anybus Wireless Bridge - Ethernet to WLAN
Doc.Rev. 1.30
Should the predefined IP addresses already be in use on your network, it may be necessary to configure
the setup manually:
1. Power on the first Wireless Bridge and enter the web configuration. See “Using the Web Con-
figuration Interface” on page 10.
2. Enter the required IP Address (IP_ADDR1), Netmask and Default Gateway. DHCP should be
turned off. Click "Write Network Settings". Note: The IP address must be selected to avoid IP
conflicts.
3. Enter the Network Name (SSID) for the wireless network.
4. Select Operation mode "Ad-Hoc" and select a channel to use, based on your regional domain
settings.
5. Select Security Mode: The options currently available in ad-hoc mode are: "None", "WEP64"
and "WEP128".
6. If security was selected, now enter a key.
7. Under Client Mode, select “Ethernet Bridge”. Enter the IP address of the other Wireless Bridge
(IP_ADDR2) and set the UDP Port, e.g 2000.
8. Click "Write Wireless LAN Settings".
9. Click "Reboot Device".
10. Power on the second Wireless Bridge and enter the web configuration.
11. Repeat step 2 above, but select the IP address entered under Client Mode above (IP_ADDR2).
Click "Write Network Settings".
12. Repeat 3, 4, 5, and 6 above. These values MUST be identical to the ones entered for the previous
Wireless Bridge.
13. Repeat step 7 above, but using the IP address (IP_ADDR1) instead. The port must be the same
as entered under 7 above. Click "Set".
14. Click "Write Wireless LAN Settings".
15. Click "Reboot".
All Ethernet packets will now be tunneled between the two Ethernet segments.
