Product Overview
Front Panel
The Bridge’s LEDs, where information about network
activity is displayed, are located on the front panel.
Front Panel
POWER (Green) Lights up when the Bridge is
powered on.
PoE (Green) Lights up when power is being
supplied through Ethernet cable.
WIRELESS (Green) Lights up when the
wireless module is active on the Bridge. Flashes
to indicate that the Bridge is actively sending
or receiving data from a wireless device.
ETHERNET (1-5) Lights up to indicate a
functional 10/100 Mbps network link through
the corresponding port (1 through 5) with an
attached device. Blinks to indicate that the
Bridge is actively sending or receiving data
over that port.
Back Panel
The reset button, the Ethernet ports, and the power port
are located on the back panel of the Bridge.
Back Panel
RESET Press and hold the Reset button for
approximately ten seconds to reset the Bridge
to the factory default settings.
ETHERNET 1-5 These RJ-45 ports support
network speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps,
and can operate in half and full-duplex modes.
Auto-sensing technology enables each port to
automatically detect the speed of the device
connected to it (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and
adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
Port 5 also supports the IEEE 802.3af Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE) PD standard that enables
DC power to be supplied to the Bridge using
wires in the connecting twisted-pair cable. This
allows the Bridge to draw power directly from
the Ethernet cable without requiring its own
separate power source. If a PoE power source
is not available, you can use the supplied AC
power adaptor.
To connect a device to a port, you need to use
Category 5 (or better) network cable.
POWER The Power port is where you connect
the AC power. This port is not used if you are
using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to supply
power through the Ethernet cable.
