XPress Ethernet Bridge
Product Manual - Commercial/Indoor XEB09-C
Create long range wireless links in minutes!
Connect any Ethernet device to the XPress Ethernet Bridge
RF Modems and the bridge will function in place of
an Ethernet cable. The Ethernet bridge provides a
transparent wireless point-to-point cable replacement.

Introduction
This manual provides step-by-step instruction on how to setup a wireless link and test the
Ethernet Bridge's ability to transport data over varying ranges and conditions.
Included with the XPress Ethernet Bridge (Commercial)
(2) XPress Ethernet Bridge RF Modems
(2) 6 VDC/80-240 VAC power adapters (not included w/ version XEB09-C-AU (Australia))
(2) Half-wave, 2.5 dBi, dipole antennas w/RPTNC connector
Quick Setup
Hardware Setup
1. Plug both RF Modems into power outlets using the included power adaptors.
(If operating in Australia: Use power adapters that meet Australian regulations and the
supply voltage specifications cited on page 4 this manual.)
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from each XPress RF Modem to a network device.
3. Send Ethernet traffic through the wireless Ethernet Bridge [for troubleshooting, refer to
the following page].
Each RF Modem automatically selects the best radio channel, encrypts the Ethernet traffic and
transports the data wirelessly to its matched pair. Cross-over cables are not necessary since the
RF modems automatically sense the device (client vs. switch).

LED Display The XPress RF Modem has 16 LEDs that display the status of the device. LED Name Function Power Unit has power and has successfully booted. RF Link RF modem has successfully linked with its partner. RF TX Radio transmission is occurring. -
Page 3: Advanced Settings
Advanced Settings Automatic Frequency Selection Mode (All DIP Switches OFF (up)) <Default Configuration> The RF modem is designed to automatically select and continuously optimize the performance of its radio channel. The radio channel is monitored to ensure it is providing low error rates necessary for successful radio transmission. In the event that the error rate rises, the RF modem will autonomously change to a new channel. -
