Base Stations or Nodes
GhostBridges operate in pairs. One is pre-configured as a Base and the other is preconfigured as a Node. They are labeled as such on the back of the unit.
It doesn’t matter which unit is connected to which side of the network. They operate automatically, and no configuration is necessary.
Optional Settings
GhostBridges require no configuration. But you can alter the settings if you wish.
Default Base IP Address = 192.168.1.50
Default Node IP Address = 192.168.1.51
Username/Password = admin/admin

Two Ethernet Ports
You can enable PoE pass-through for the GhostBridge’s secondary Ethernet port.
This will let you connect devices like cameras
to your network. The connection will be 24 VDC, non 802-3af.
Waterproof Your GhostBridges
Note that if your Cat5 cable doesn’t fit tightly in the cable door you should cover the gap with silicon tape to keep water out. B&B carries MOCAP silicon tape for this purpose.
(Part number IASFST)
Line of Sight Transmissions
Industrial installations will often include many reflective obstacles. Metal objects like storage tanks are the worst. Moving the GhostBridge even slightly can significantly increase the signal strength. Elevating your GhostBridges will also enhance signal strength.
