Initial System Setup
By the following initial system setup, you will connect the BRC and the SMR to each
other and to your network and also do basic settings to prepare the operation.
The data interchange between BRC and SMR of the WAP-8600 is realized by a
WLAN connection. Benefits of the WLAN connection are the definite identification
between the connected partners and the transmission by radio signals, which do not
require visible connection between transmitter and receiver and offer a wide
operation area. You may even control your WAP-8600 from a neighbour room, just
depending from your WLAN network capabilities.
BRC and SMR both do transmit and receive data. BRC and SMR each are individual
network devices, which need to be setup accordingly. The setup is a simple step by
step procedure, setting up BRC and SMR in one turn by a guiding “wizard”. Its a
very easy dialog system to support you for the most common settings. Please keep
in mind, BRC as well as SMR are individual network devices, which require to
be setup each for network connection, eventhough the simple setup
procedure may be suggestive of just installing one device/system!
Please follow the below mentioned steps for connecting BRC and SMR:
