The KuWFi WiFi bridges support various deployment scenarios, including Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multi-Point (PTMP) connections. Proper alignment and configuration are crucial for optimal performance.

3.1. Point-to-Point (PTP) Connection

A PTP connection extends a network between two locations, such as connecting a second building to your main network or extending camera monitoring range. One device acts as the Master CPE, and the other as the Slave CPE.

Diagram showing two scenarios for Point-to-Point connection: extending network to a second building and extending camera monitoring range. Both show Master and Slave CPEs connected via POE adapters to routers or switches.

Figure 3: Point-to-Point Network Extension Scenarios

Steps for PTP Setup:

  1. Identify one CPE as the Tswv and the other as the qhev.
  2. Connect the Master CPE to your main network (e.g., router or switch) using a POE adapter. The POE adapter provides both power and data.
  3. Connect the Slave CPE to the remote network device (e.g., another router, switch, or NVR for cameras) using its POE adapter.
  4. Configure the Master and Slave CPEs according to the device's interface (often accessible via a web browser). The LED display on the CPE120 can assist with initial configuration.
  5. Ensure clear line-of-sight between the Master and Slave units for optimal signal strength and stability.

3.2. Point-to-Multi-Point (PTMP) Connection

A PTMP connection allows one Master CPE to communicate with multiple Slave CPEs, often used for monitoring multiple IP cameras or extending network access to several remote locations.

Diagram illustrating Point to Multi-Point connection. One Master CPE connects to a switch/video recorder, while multiple Slave CPEs connect to individual IP cameras.

Figure 4: Point-to-Multi-Point Connection for IP Cameras

Steps for PTMP Setup:

  1. Designate one CPE as the Tswv unit. This unit will connect to your central network (e.g., switch, NVR).
  2. Designate the remaining CPEs as qhev units. Each Slave unit will connect to a remote device (e.g., an IP camera).
  3. Connect the Master CPE's POE port to the power adapter, and the LAN port of the power adapter to your switch or video recorder.
  4. For each Slave CPE, connect its POE port to the power adapter, and the LAN port of the power adapter to the IP camera.
  5. Configure the Master and Slave CPEs through their web interfaces to establish the PTMP links.

The first shows multiple IP cameras connecting to individual wireless bridges, which then connect to a central wireless bridge and monitoring PC/DVR. The second shows a WDS Point to Multi-Point (1 to 4) connection with a 60-degree transmission angle.

Figure 5: Advanced Point-to-Multi-Point Monitoring Configurations

For WDS Point to Multi-Point connections, especially for monitoring, it is suggested to adjust the angle for better performance, typically within a 60-degree transmission angle for optimal signal reception from multiple slave units.

If you encounter issues with your KuWFi wireless bridges, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Tsis muaj zog:
    • Ensure the POE adapter is correctly connected to a power source and the CPE.
    • Verify that the Ethernet cable from the POE adapter's POE port is securely connected to the CPE.
  • Tsis muaj kev sib txuas Network:
    • Check all Ethernet cable connections between the CPE, POE adapter, and network devices (router, switch, NVR, IP camera).
    • Ensure the Master and Slave units are properly configured and aligned for clear line-of-sight.
    • Verify IP address settings and network configurations on both CPEs and connected devices.
    • If using PTP, ensure one unit is configured as Master and the other as Slave.
  • Poor Signal Strength/Low Speed:
    • Re-align the CPE units to ensure optimal line-of-sight. Obstructions can significantly degrade performance.
    • Check for potential sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects).
    • Ensure the distance between units does not exceed the recommended range (e.g., 1KM for CPE120, up to 5KM for CPE2200).
  • Nkag tsis tau Web Interface:
    • Ensure your computer is connected to the same network segment as the CPE or directly to the CPE's LAN port (via the POE adapter).
    • Verify the correct default IP address for the CPE. Refer to the product's quick start guide or manufacturer's webqhov chaw.
    • Temporarily disable any firewall or antivirus software on your computer that might block access.
  • Resetting rau Factory Defaults: If all else fails, use the RESET button on the device to restore factory settings. This will erase all custom configurations, requiring you to set up the device again.
