The Loocam Wireless Bridge is designed for plug-and-play operation with automatic pairing. Follow these steps for initial setup.

3.1 Connecting to a PC (Example)

Collegare le antenne: Screw the provided antennas onto the TX and RX bridge units.
Accensione dell'unità TX: Connect the power adapter to the TX bridge unit and plug it into a power outlet.
Connect TX to Router: Use one Ethernet cable to connect the TX bridge unit to a LAN port on your router.
Power On RX Unit: Connect the power adapter to the RX bridge unit and plug it into a power outlet.
Connect RX to PC: Use the second Ethernet cable to connect the RX bridge unit to your computer's Ethernet port (you may need a USB to Ethernet adapter for laptops without a built-in port).
Verifica connessione: Once both units are powered and connected, they will automatically pair. The computer connected to the RX unit should now be able to access the internet.

3.4 Identifying TX and RX Units

The units are pre-paired. One unit acts as the Transmitter (TX) and the other as the Receiver (RX). You can identify them by observing the indicator lights after powering on:

The RX light on the Receiver (RX) unit should be illuminated.
The RX light on the Transmitter (TX) unit should be off.

4. Funzionamento

The Loocam Wireless Bridge operates on a point-to-point principle, extending your network wirelessly.

Banda di frequenza: Operates in the 902MHz-928MHz band, offering strong penetration capabilities.
Distanza di trasmissione: Achieves up to 2000 feet wireless transmission distance in open areas.
Wi-Fi HaLow Technology: Utilizes 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow for extended coverage and improved obstacle penetration (up to 350 feet through one wall).
Velocità dati: Supports speeds up to 16Mbps. Note that Wi-Fi HaLow is optimized for range and penetration rather than high bandwidth.
Applicazioni: Ideal for extending network coverage between buildings, for video surveillance systems, and for expanding Wi-Fi coverage in areas where traditional Wi-Fi signals are weak.

5. Manutenzione

The Loocam Wireless Bridge is designed for outdoor use with a weather-resistant (IP65) rating. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

Condizioni ambientali: The device operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -5°F to 120°F (-20°C to 48°C). Avoid exposing the device to conditions outside this range for extended periods.
Pulizia: Periodically clean the exterior of the units with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
Integrità del cavo: Ispezionare regolarmente tutti i cavi collegati (alimentazione ed Ethernet) per verificare la presenza di segni di usura o danni. Sostituire immediatamente i cavi danneggiati.
Posizione dell'antenna: Ensure antennas are securely attached and positioned for optimal signal strength.

If you encounter issues with your Loocam Wireless Bridge, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problema	Possibile causa	Soluzione
Nessuna connessione di rete	Alimentazione non collegata Ethernet cables loose or faulty Unità non accoppiate Out of range or significant obstacles	Assicurarsi che entrambe le unità siano accese. Controllare tutti i collegamenti dei cavi Ethernet. Verify TX/RX lights as per Section 3.4. Relocate units closer or adjust antenna alignment.
Velocità di rete lenta	Inherent limitation of Wi-Fi HaLow (max 16Mbps) Interferenze o ostacoli Firmware obsoleto	Understand that this technology prioritizes range over speed. Minimize obstacles between units. Verificare la presenza di aggiornamenti firmware sul produttore websito (se disponibile).
Connessione intermittente	Segnale debole Interferenza esterna Fluttuazioni di potenza	Se possibile, assicurarsi che la visuale sia libera. Check for other 900MHz devices nearby. Utilizzare una fonte di alimentazione stabile.
