About this guide

he main aim of this guide is to guide you

through putting your wireless network ID onto

your wifi bridge.

The configuration program which comes on the disk

included with your wifi bridge takes you through three

simple steps, after which your wifi bridge is ready to

go.

To configure your wifi bridge, you first plug it into a

PC and run the included CD from the PC. After this,

you can then plug your wifi bridge into any internet -

capable device and that device will be able to connect

quite happily to the wireless network of your choice!

This guide has been written to make easier the proc-

ess of configuring you wifi bridge for the first time. We

have tried to write it as simply and thoroughly as possi-

ble so that it is easy for most customers to understand.

It is a response to our customers who have raised

questions regarding the wifi bridge and how to config-

ure and use.

We hope it provides you with useful support. If you

have any suggestions for improvements, or it does not

answer all of your questions, please don’t hesitate to

let us know. As the customer, you come first! Don’t

worry—you can contact us directly or by message and

we’ll take you step-by-step through the process of set-

ting up your wifi bridge. Hopefully, this guide should

help you sufficiently, but if not, you can find our con-

tact details at the back of this guide.

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO

INSTALLING - & - CONFIGURING

YOUR WIFI BRIDGE

What the bridge does

N O N E E D F O R M E T R E S O F C A B L E S

The wifi bridge takes signals from your wired device,

e.g . Satellite box, game console, and turns them into

wireless signals your wireless router understands.

It acts as a bridge between your chosen device and

your wireless network. The device connected to the

wifi bridge thinks it is talking to a wired connection.

The wifi bridge turns your chosen device into a

wireless device.

The wifi bridge works up to a range of 30 metres,

and its signal strength is the same as any other wireless

device you might use, such as a laptop computer,

Range of transmission

which may vary according to physical conditions, such

as metal structures, walls the atmosphere, and time of

day.

The wifi bridge saves you the time, expense and dis-

turbance of installing lengthy cables throughout your

house.

It also gives you with the flexibility of being able to

move devices throughout your house easily, like any

other wireless-enabled devices, whether they are print-

ers, gaming consoles, satellite receivers or desktop

PC’s, etc.

The power adapter socket

At the end of the wifi bridge are two wires. At the

side of the base of the wires is a small hole. This is the

power adapter socket. This socket takes a power

adapter connector and can be used to power the wifi

bridge if the device to which it is connected doesn’t

have enough power.

The power socket is also used with devices that are

already powered by a 12 volt power adapter.

The USB connector

The USB connector on the wifi bridge provides the

wifi bridge with electricity. The wifi bridge does

not

use the USB connector to send data.

The wifi bridge’s USB connector fits onto the end of

a power connector. You can pull off the USB connector

to reveal the power connector.

If your target device already uses a power adapter,

then to power both your device and the wifi bridge, plug

your device’s power connector into the wifi bridge and

plug the wifi bridge’s power connector into your device.

The yellow/orange light

This lights up when the wifi bridge is receiving

power. If the wifi bridge has nor been configured, the

light will be solid, i.e. not flashing . If the wifi bridge

has been paired successfully with your PC, the light

will flash on and off. We will come onto this more later

in the guide.

This light comes on shortly after you have success-

fully configured your wifi bridge with a network. It

flashes when the wifi bridge it is transmitting data to a

network.

The blue light

Installation requirements

The installation software will work on Windows 7,

Windows Vista and Windows XP. These instructions

were designed using a PC running Windows 7

You will need:

Access to a PC running Windows 7 with

1. an RJ45 (internet) socket

2. a USB port supplying 12V current*

3. An active internet connection

4. A wireless router with an active internet connec-

tion (which can be secured or unsecured)

You’ll also need:

5. A Vonets 11g wifi bridge

6. A Vonets installation disk

7. The target device that you want to make wire-

less, e.g . game console, satellite receiver. The

device must have:

A. A USB port with 12V supply*

B. An RJ45 (internet) socket

* If you don’t have a USB port with 12V power, you’ll need to buy a power

adapter to supply p ower to the wifi bridge. These can be bought cheaply on

eBay, f rom Argos and yo ur local electrical/ electro nic retailer.

Check for ports and power

Your PC and target device must have the correct

ports, sockets and electricity supply. In some cases, de-

vices don’t have what is needed to make your wifi

bridge work.

To make sure all devices have what is needed, you

are now going to perform some simple checks. This will

also show whether or not your wifi bridge is powering

up.

First, you need to check the USB port on your PC.

To do this:

•Plug your wifi bridge’s USB connector into the

USB port on your PC

•Plug your wifi bridge’s RJ45 connector into your

PC’s RJ45 socket

•Wait a few seconds.

>If a yellow/orange light flashes inside the wifi

bridge, it means that your USB post supplies enough

power to the wifi bridge.

>If a yellow/orange light does not flash inside the

wifi bridge, you will either need to use a different port

(on a different PC if necessary) and failing this, you

will need to use a 12 volt external power adapter to

power the device.

Next, repeat this power-checking process by plug-

ging your USB connector into the target device.
