The FreeWave Fusion Wi-Fi Bridge is
designed to create a seamless Wi-Fi access
point (AP) anywhere on a ZumLink network.
This allows Wi-Fi devices and sensors to be
connected in remote and rugged locations, without
extra wiring or special networking.
This guide will walk you through the first-time setup and
configuration of the Fusion Wi-Fi Bridge, connecting the device to a ZumLink network
and introducing the device's Wi-Fi parameters and functionality.
This guide assumes a level of familiarity with ZumLink networks. If information about
setting up a ZumLink network is required, please visit

Purpose of this guide
This document will guide the setup and installation of a Fusion Wi-Fi Bridge endpoint on a ZumLink network.
By the end of this guide, we will have created a Wi-Fi AP that allows the user to connect Wi-Fi devices to a
ZumLink network, as pictured below.
