Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual Recommended configuration order We recommend the following configuration order: • If you change an existing configuration for AirBridges in a master-to-satellite setup, we recommend that you first change the satellite and then change the master. After you complete the configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the master and satellite is automatically reestablished. Note: If you first change the master and then change the satellite, the WiFi backhaul connection between the master and satellite is no longer operational, and you might not be able to access the satellite. • Similarly, if you change an existing configuration for an AirBridge that functions as a client bridge in an access point-to-client bridge setup, we recommend that you first change the client bridge and then change the access point. (The access point can be an AirBridge or another type of access point.) After you complete the configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge is automatically reestablished. Note: If you first change the access point and then change the client bridge, the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge is no longer operational, and you might not be able to access the client bridge. Change the device name of the AirBridge The device name is also referred to as the AP name or system name. It is the AirBridge name that displays in the network. By default, the device name is WBC502, which is the AirBridge's model number. You can change this name. To change the name of the AirBridge: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge. The login page displays. If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 34. 3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password. Manage the WiFi and Radio 57 Features User Manual

Recommended configuration order
We recommend the following configuration order:
•
If you change an existing configuration for AirBridges in a master-to-satellite setup,
we recommend that you first change the satellite and then change the master. After
you complete the configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the master
and satellite is automatically reestablished.
Note:
If you first change the master and then change the satellite, the WiFi backhaul
connection between the master and satellite is no longer operational, and you might
not be able to access the satellite.
•
Similarly, if you change an existing configuration for an AirBridge that functions as
a client bridge in an access point-to-client bridge setup, we recommend that you
first change the client bridge and then change the access point. (The access point
can be an AirBridge or another type of access point.) After you complete the
configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client
bridge is automatically reestablished.
Note:
If you first change the access point and then change the client bridge, the
WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge is no longer
operational, and you might not be able to access the client bridge.
Change the device name of the AirBridge
The device name is also referred to as the AP name or system name. It is the AirBridge
name that displays in the network. By default, the device name is WBC502, which is the
AirBridge’s model number. You can change this name.
To change the name of the AirBridge:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2.
Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log
in
to
the
AirBridge
after
initial
setup
on page 34.
3.
Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
