What you need to know before you start
Each terminal has a unique LAN MAC address and a factory IP address printed on the label on the back of the unit.
Once you have these details, we can configure your network so you can access the terminals’ configuration through the web interface.
On your computer, open View network status and tasks → Change adapter settings.
Right‑click the LAN adapter (the one connected to the local network) → Properties → double‑click Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4).
Enter an IP address that is different from the terminal’s default IP, but within the same subnet as the terminal:
Here’s a concrete example — the subnet mask will fill in automatically. Don’t forget to check “Validate settings upon exit” to apply the changes.
Once your computer’s LAN port is configured, you won’t need to change the computer settings again.
Power your two Wi‑Fi terminals (use PoE power only).
Then connect each Wi‑Fi terminal, one at a time, to the same network as your computer.
After a few moments, open a web browser and enter the factory IP address of the terminal you just connected into the address bar.
You are now in the connection menu. The default password is "admin".
Once connected, you will arrive at the dashboard. First, assign a static IP to the terminal that is not used by any other device on the network.
Note: it is important to keep a record of this address.
After you save the settings you will be returned automatically to the login page — the terminal has reconnected using the new IP address because you changed its IP. The terminal’s URL has therefore changed.
Then go to the WDS menu:
Give the terminal a name so it’s easier to identify later. You can’t fully configure it yet — name it now so it can be recognized when you enable its distribution.
Then click the "Apply" button.
Repeat the same steps for the other Wi‑Fi terminal: disconnect the first terminal from the network (no need to remove its power) and connect the second terminal, then access it via the web interface.
On this second terminal, perform the new step we haven't done yet:
Assign terminal 2 to terminal 1 to create the Wi‑Fi link.
Select the terminal 1 that you configured earlier.
Make sure the broadcast name and MAC address match exactly what you configured before.
Click the desired network.
Once connected, note the BROADCAST MAC address of the second Wi‑Fi terminal. Disconnect this second terminal from the network and reconnect the first terminal.
Now assign the terminal you just configured as Terminal 2 to the first terminal.
Once this is done, your terminals are powered: one is connected to the network your computer is on, and the other is powered but not yet network‑connected.
Now we will test the bridge.
Do not connect your computer to the Wi‑Fi.
On Windows, press the Windows key + R, type "cmd", and press Enter:
A command prompt window will open. We will send a "ping" to the terminals to check whether we are properly connected to them.
Logically, the terminal connected directly to your network will respond because it’s on the same LAN.
Here we sent a ping to the terminal that is connected to the network. The -t option makes the ping continuous; press CTRL+C to stop it.
If you get replies from that terminal, repeat the same ping test for the second terminal — the one that is only powered (no network cable connected).
It works — the Wi‑Fi bridge is in place!
