2. General Concepts
2.1 Configuration Methods
The Wireless Bridge supports four main methods for setting and configuring the module:
1. Smart mode
Use the buttons and LED’s on the Wireless Bridge to automatically set up the most common use
cases.
2. Web interface
An online web interface with the most common settings for the Wireless Bridge.
3. AT commands
Connect to the Wireless Bridge over Ethernet using TCP, or directly on Layer 2 and use a terminal such as Hyperterminal to issue AT commands. This method is mainly for more advanced settings and use cases, and is not described in this document. All commands available in the web
interface and much more are supported throught the use of AT commands.
Chapter 2
4. The SNMP protocol
This will not be used or described in this document.
2.2 Using SMART Configuration Mode
If the Mode button is pressed within 5 seconds from power up, the Wireless Bridge will enter SMART
configuration mode. The LED’s above the button (A, B, C, and D) will show the mode currently selected. When the required mode is selected, it must be confirmed by holding in the Mode button for two
seconds. This will cause the LED’s to start flashing during the operation of the selected mode.

General Concepts 10
There are currently 12 different modes available:
Mode Description LEDs A B C D
1 Enable DHCP server A
2 Reset to factory defaults. This will reset the entire configu-
ration to factory defaults.
3 Reset IP settings to factory defaults. This will only reset the
IP settings to factory defaults.
4 Wait for Automatic configuration, ad-hoc mode. C
5 Initiate Automatic configuration, ad-hoc mode. A + C
6 Wait for Automatic configuration with Profinet optimiza-
tions, ad-hoc mode.
7 Initiate Automatic configuration with Profinet optimizations,
ad-hoc mode.
8 Wait for Automatic configuration, Managed mode. D
9 Initiate Automatic configuration, Managed mode. A + D
10 Initiate Automatic configuration, Managed mode, wired. B + D
11 Configure client mode. A + B + D
12 Initiate Automatic configuration, ad-hoc mode, multipoint. C + D

"Enable DHCP server" can be used to easily access the Wireless Bridge if the PC is using DHCP, without having to change the PC’s IP settings. This mode should only be used when the PC is connected
directly to the module, and not if the module is connected to a network using a DHCP server. Enable
this mode, then connect the Ethernet cable to the computer. The DHCP server will stay enabled until
a reboot.
How to use the other different modes for specific use cases is described later in this document.
2.2.1 Using the Web Configuration Interface
By default, the Wireless Bridge has the following static IP settings;
• IP address: 192.168.0.99
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.0.99.
To access the module using the web-based configuration interface, the computer must be set up in the
same network, e.g. IP address: 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask: 255.255.0.0.
Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.99 in the address field. From here, the most common
configuration parameters needed to set up a connection can be found.
