Step 4c: Reestablish the WiFi connection on the satellite at
the detached site
After you successfully set up a WiFi connection at the main site, perform this task at the
detached site on the AirBridge that you configured as the satellite
Before you mount the AirBridge at its permanent location, we recommend that you first
test the WiFi connection so that you can determine the location with the strongest signal
for the WiFi connection.
To reestablish the WiFi connection between the master and satellite:
1. At the detached site, place the satellite near the location where you intend to mount
it permanently.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN1 (PoE-24V) port on the satellite.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the PoE port on the power adapter.
WARNING: Power the AirBridge only with an Ethernet cable that is connected from
the LAN1 port on the AirBridge to the PoE port on the supplied power adapter. Do
not use any other power source such as a PoE switch. The LAN1 port on the AirBridge
is not a standard PoE port. Using any other power source could damage the device.
4. Insert the plug of the power cable into an outlet.
On the power adapter, the PWR LED lights solid green. On the AirBridge, all the
LEDs light and then go off. The Power LED remains solid amber.
The WiFi connection automatically reestablishes itself. The satellite at the detached
site is now connected over the WiFi connection to the master at the main site.
On the satellite, a single signal strength indicator (SSI) LED lights to indicate the
quality of the signal for the WiFi connection:
• Right LED solid green. The signal for the WiFi connection is strong. The left and
middle SSI LEDs are off.
• Middle LED solid amber. The signal for the WiFi connection is moderately good.
The left and right SSI LEDs are off.
• Left LED solid red. The signal for the WiFi connection is weak. The middle and
right SSI LEDs are off.
• All SSI LEDs off. No WiFi connection is established or the signal strength cannot
be determined.
