Tip:

1) The WiFi function of PBOX150 has DHCP service which is

disabled and in route mode by default.

2) Please do not access PBOX150 into local area network by

network cables when DHCP is enabled. Because the DHCP

service of this card and DHCP service of routers in the

LAN will distribute IP address simultaneously, and then

conflict occurs.

3) When PBOX150 access external routers by searching

hotspot, following router models are recommended to

guarantee connection: Huawei, TP-link, Tenda and

Netgear etc.

4) When bridge pattern is used, make sure that the upper

router has WDS function while bridging, otherwise

bridging will fail. Bridging among PBOX150 units is

supported. If bridging upper routers, you can confirm

whether the WDS of the router is enabled. Generally, it

defaults to enabled.

5) The default factory settings of control card are that DHCP

service is disabled.

6) The default factory settings of control card are in router

mode. Users could set it to bridging pattern through

webpage.

PBOX150 is integrated with WiFi function to enable wireless

communications. Meanwhile, it supports AP+Sta function. It

allows to build LAN while connecting public networks. So WiFi

deployment has the following four modes.

Mode I: PBOX150 does not connect external networks

Tip: In this case, publishing and management terminal devices cannot

connect external network. PBOX150 itself can build a new network

through its connected WiFi.

1) Connect PBOX150 to user computers by network cables;

2) Set computer's IP address to static IP: 192.168.10. *;

3) Open the browser and input 192.168.10.1 in the address bar,

to enter the setting interface of wireless routers. Both the

DHCP server >DHCP service and enable DHCP services;

4) Use a mobile device to search the hot spot of WiFi module

for connection: The SSID is nova****** (check information

label) and the default password is 0123456789.

Mode II: connect the WiFi card with external network by

wireless network:

1) Set computer's IP address as static IP: 192.168.10. *;

2) Open the browser and input 192.168.10.1 in the address bar,

to enter the setting interface of wireless routers. Both the

the DHCP server ->DHCP service and enable DHCP service

for wireless setting -> scanning hot spots and decide the

spot for connection:

3) After the connection status shows that it is connected (see

the Figure above), you can use mobile devices to search

hotspot of WiFi module and connect it. The SSID is

nova****** (check information label) and the default

password is 0123456789.

Mode III: WiFi card connects external network by network

cables:

Tip: Please disable DHCP service before setting wireless network

parameters.
