mum possible effort.

Start

 

 

Introducing the AsantéBridge tells you how the bridge functions

 

and acquaints you with its key features.

 

Quick View takes you on a tour of the front and rear panels of the

 

AsantéBridge 1012, explaining the use and interpretation of all

 

controls, connectors, and LEDs.

 

Installing the AsantéBridge 1012 guides you through a simple

 

installation process.The AsantéBridge 1012 is designed as a “plug

 

and play” network device — just follow the simple instructions.

 

No specialized technical knowledge is necessary.

 

We recommend you read this chapter before you do the installa-

 

tion. In particular, you should go through the Quick View section

 

after you unpack your new AsantéBridge to become familiar with

 

its controls and indicators.

 

After completing this simple installation, continue to the next

 

chapter,“Connecting to the Network”, which provides detailed

 

information on different ways to connect the AsantéBridge.
