Setting Options (optional)

1. DIP Switch Function
   
   The function of the DIP switch is to control the pairing by dialing the digital switch, making the pairing simple;
   When the DIP switch is turned on, pairing can be done through dialing, but any modified wireless bridge parameters cannot be saved when the power is turned off or restarted, and the default parameters must be used;
   When the DIP switch is turned off, pairing cannot be performed by dialing the code, and the "RST" buttons will be disabled. However, the modified wireless bridge parameters can be saved when the power is turned off and restarted. The new pairing method is in the "Modify SSID & Password and Re-pair" section.
   Both the master bridge and the slave bridge must turn off the DIP switch before modifying the parameters.
   When you turn off the DIP switch, the digital tube at the bottom of the wireless bridge will display half a "0", which is normal. As shown below:
   
2. Modify Bridge Mode
   In "Quick Setup" > "Bridge Setting" > "Mode", change the mode to A (Master) or B (Slave). One of the pair of bridges must be A (Master) and the other must be B.
   (Slave) can be paired.
   
3. Modify Matching ID
   Modify the ID (channel) in "Quick Setup" > "Bridge Setting" > "Matching ID". The two bridges must set the same ID (channel) to pair, otherwise they cannot pair.
   
4. Modify IP address
   Enter the custom IP address in "Quick Setup" > "Bridge Setting" > "Fixed IP Address". You need to modify the IP addresses of the two wireless bridges in the same network segment. For example, the main network bridge is changed to 192.168.3.104, and the slave network bridge is changed to 192.168.3.204.
   
5. Modify SSID & Password and Re-pair
   1. Visit the management page of the Master bridge and turn off the DIP button. After it is turned off, you will not be able to use the button to change the number. Remove the check mark and click "OK" to save.
