- Page 7 WaveCore devices are shipped with standard 3-inch mounting brackets. Optional 5-inch mounting brackets can be separately ordered along with other optional accessories listed later in this manual. The WaveCore devices are powered by 12 VDC, PoE, or both. This allows for power supply redundancy to support failsafe operation.
- Page 8 WaveCore Deployment Scenarios There are many deployment scenarios that WaveCore is designed to handle, many of which involve making wireless connections through walls or ceilings. Cement and concrete walls and floors are commonly used in many commercial buildings. Deploying new networks or expanding existing ones in these environments often involves high costs and significant delays due to the need to run network cables through obstacles and across long interior spans.
- Page 9 WaveCore Models There are currently two versions of the WaveCore product. Part Number Description WC-1000RH-US This is a complete point-to-point wireless bridge link that contains two 1000RH-US Wireless Radio Devices, and two SHORT Wall/Ceiling Mounting Brackets. This model is designed to be operated only in the US and Canada.
- Page 10 Factory-Resetting a WaveCore Resetting Using the Reset Button The WaveCore has a recessed reset button next to the RJ45 Ethernet port. Use this button to reset the WaveCore: Press for less than five seconds to soft reboot the WaveCore. Press for longer than five seconds to factory-reset the WaveCore.
- Page 11 The WaveCore uses an intuitive Web-Based GUI for configuration and monitoring. A standard Internet browser running on a PC, Notebook, or mobile device is all that is needed to manage a WaveCore device. To access the VineManager Web GUI, enter the applicable Management IP Address into the browser address bar.
- Page 12 Note 1: The Web GUI supports both http and https connections. For https connections, the web server of the WaveCore device uses a self-signed certificate. Thus, you need to ignore the security warnings on the browser to bypass the validation.
