Matters needing attention
1) Make sure that the supply voltage is within the specified voltage range, otherwise
damage to the circuit may occur.
2) Always use the specified type of antenna and ensure that the frequency band and
other parameters match.
3) When testing indoors, the distance between the equipment must be more than 3m, too
close to the module to receive energy saturation affects the test results.
4) A minimum of 2 units are required for this unit to function properly; separate units
will not work properly.
5) Before use, the antenna must be connected before powering up, otherwise there is a
chance of burning out the equipment amplifier.
6) Typical voltage source 12V/2A Please check the voltage and current match before
powering up.
After power on, the voltage is 12V, the current is 0.4A, the power indicator is always on
(see equipment status light), and the current increases with the increase of transmitting
power.

Ensure that each group of devices has only one central node and multiple transmitter
nodes, with a central node on the handheld side and a transmitter node on the device side.
The devices in the group have the same IP network segment, the same address, the same
device secret key and the same frequency band.
In case of poor signal at either end, you can try to improve it by raising the height of the
antenna, choosing unobstructed terrain or contacting our technical support for docking.

Device status light

1 2 3

1. Device status light, green for master nodes and blue for slave nodes;
2. Network port light, always on when connected to the network, blinks when interacting
with data.
3. Power light, always on when the unit is powered up.

Power connection
Find a 12V power supply and connect it to the supplied power cable, usually 12V to pins
30 and 31 and 15 and 16 to ground.

Before connecting please check that the device antenna is screwed in, before connecting
please check whether the power supply positive and negative poles are connected
backwards, users do their own line need to pay attention to the power supply positive and
negative can not be connected backwards, otherwise it will permanently damage the
device.

Debugging and configuration
Configure basic device attributes and functions.

Login Interface
The user has to log in to the IP address of the device (factory default IP address: 192.168.147.xx)
via the web page, enter the user name and password (both are admin) to configure the map transfer
settings.

Note: If you cannot login to the configuration screen, please check the computer configuration
network segment.

Configuration Interface
The user can set the device key, which is in hexadecimal (0 to 9, A to F) and can only be an even
number (each key cannot be the same when multiple sets are coexisting), up to a maximum of 64
bits;

Wireless module IP address (ip address and camera address can be different bands), wireless
module working mode (each set of equipment must have only one center, slave nodes can be ≥1) ;

Wireless module frequency band 2.4GHz/1.4GHz/800MHz optional;

Wireless module transmitting power, maximum 25, power reduction distance is not far;

Default 1D4U for upstream and downstream allocation (2D3U for trunk configuration); optional
20M/I0M/5M transmission bandwidth, which is the spectrum bandwidth and not the data
bandwidth;

Real-time information which, when clicked, displays the current signal strength of the
device and the status of the link building environment when the device is building a link;

Each node needs to be modified for each set of graphical transmissions, just click on
Submit Configuration to manually re-power the device after the configuration is
complete.

Relevant parameters
RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indication. The signal saturates at a distance of -44 and decreases
as the distance increases.
RSRP: Reference signal received power. After pulling away, the RSRP-SNR will normally be less
than or equal to the value of -123.
RSRQ: Reference signal reception quality. The larger the value, the better.
SNR: Signal to thousand disturbance noise ratio. The normal state is between +25 and -20, where
a higher positive value means less signal perturbation and vice versa.
DIST: Device distance. Device spacing calculated from a period of RF transmission
supplemented by transmission speed.

Solutions to common problems

Problem Solution
The other node of the device is not working. 1. Check that the other power supply is
powered up.
2. Check whether the parameters are configured
correctly.
A. Ensure one central node and multiple access
nodes
B. Consistent access ID
C. The IP address of the device is correct
D. connected to the device of the compelling
brain ip address has been configured (computer
configuration network segment details see
Annex)
3. Check whether the access antenna is correct
and whether the equipment build chain light is
always on.
Go to the configuration screen and check the
Data jams model snr value. A low snr value indicates a
weak signal.
The signal saturated and the node did not come
Low signal for proximity devices up in transmit power, pulling the two nodes
apart.
1. Check the antenna connection cable for poor
contact.
2.Check whether the transmitting power is
changed or set too small
3. Check whether there are sources of
interference such as power supply in the whole

4. Try raising the antenna, or replacing it with a
high gain antenna.

Computer configuration network segment method.
Control Panel→Network and Internet→Network and Sharing Center→Change adapter
settings.

Find the wired network card settings connected to the device, right-click and select
Properties → double-click Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/ IPv4) and click Use
the following IP address → Configure the IP address; IP address: 192.168.1.XXX
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (ip address should be the same network segment as the
device with different ip, such as the above 192.168. XXX is the ip).
