Initial Configuration

If you do not see the Bridge as an attached device, refresh the configuration Note: screen (some Access Point programs provide a Refresh button for this

purpose). If the Bridge still does not appear, refer to the troubleshooting chapter in this Guide and in the documentation for your Access Point.

You can also use the device discovery feature of the Airborne Control Center Note: software (see page 25)Xto help determine the Bridge’s IP address.

•Verify the MAC Address

Go to the Attached Devices or equivalent screen in your Access Point’s configuration application that lists the MAC addresses of attached devices. Verify that the MAC address shown for the Bridge matches the one on the label on the back of the Bridge.

•Verify the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Name

Go to the Router Status or equivalent screen in your Access Point’s configuration application that shows the Bridge’s DHCP client name. Verify that this name matches the last six characters in the Bridge’s MAC address (AIRBORNExxxxxx) on the label on the back of the Bridge.

Bridge’s IP address

If the Bridge is unable to obtain an IP address through DHCP, after the

Note: acquire limit is exceeded (150 seconds) the bridge will install the fallback IP address (192.168.10.1) and subnet (255.255.255.0).

The bridge can be accessed using this address, after DHCP fails, by the attached host using a different IP address in the same subnet (192.168.10.8).
