Included with the XPress Ethernet Bridge (Commercial)

(2) XPress Ethernet Bridge RF Modems

(2)6 VDC/80-240 VAC power adapters (not included w/ version XEB09-C-AU (Australia))

Quick Setup

Hardware Setup

1.Plug both RF Modems into power outlets using the included power adaptors.

(If operating in Australia: Use power adapters that meet Australian regulations and the supply voltage specifications cited on page 4 this manual.)

2.Connect an Ethernet cable from each XPress RF Modem to a network device.

3.Send Ethernet traffic through the wireless Ethernet Bridge [for troubleshooting, refer to the following page].

Each RF Modem automatically selects the best radio channel, encrypts the Ethernet traffic and transports the data wirelessly to its matched pair. Cross-over cables are not necessary since the RF modems automatically sense the device (client vs. switch).
