Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 Hardware Installation Guide At one detached site, a switch is connected to the satellite, allowing you to connect multiple wired security devices such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. At the other detached site, a WiFi access point is connected to the satellite, allowing you to extend the area of surveillance through WiFi cameras. (When the AirBridge mode is disabled on the satellite, the satellite cannot support individual WiFi clients.) At each detached site, all cameras are connected over the WiFi connection to the main site, are on the same LAN, and are therefore discoverable and manageable by the surveillance video and management server at the main site. To centrally manage video surveillance networks located at different sites, complete the following high-level steps: 1. At the main site, configure one AirBridge as a master and enable the AirBridge mode. The master can be connected to the Internet over a wired connection, for example, through a router. 2. Configure up to four other AirBridges as satellites, enable the AirBridge mode on each of them, and establish the WiFi connection for each of them. 3. At each detached site, reestablish the WiFi connection between the satellite and the master. The master provides the network connection to each satellite over a long-distance WiFi connection, using the same 5 GHz SSID for each satellite. 4. At each detached site, connect a single or multiple wired devices to the satellite, for example, using a switch. The network at each detached site is an extension of the network at the main site, with all devices functioning on the same LAN. Applications 26 Hardware Installation Guide

At one detached site, a switch is connected to the satellite, allowing you to connect
multiple wired security devices such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. At the other
detached site, a WiFi access point is connected to the satellite, allowing you to extend
the area of surveillance through WiFi cameras. (When the AirBridge mode is disabled
on the satellite, the satellite cannot support individual WiFi clients.)
At each detached site, all cameras are connected over the WiFi connection to the main
site, are on the same LAN, and are therefore discoverable and manageable by the
surveillance video and management server at the main site.
To centrally manage video surveillance networks located at different sites, complete
the following high-level steps:
1.
At the main site, configure one AirBridge as a master and enable the AirBridge mode.
The master can be connected to the Internet over a wired connection, for example,

2.
Configure up to four other AirBridges as satellites, enable the AirBridge mode on
each of them, and establish the WiFi connection for each of them.

At each detached site, reestablish the WiFi connection between the satellite and the
master.
The master provides the network connection to each satellite over a long-distance
WiFi connection, using the same 5 GHz SSID for each satellite.
