PTP Master


1. Log in to the first radio using the default IP address and credentials:


IP Address: DHCP-assigned, Fallback IP: 192.168.1.1
User: root

Password: admin


Note you will immediately be prompted to set a new password for security.



2. Go to Configuration -> Wireless and make the following changes:

Wireless mode: Point-to-point master

SSID: tachyon-ptp
Passphrase: myPassword123

Channel: 5 (66960 MHz), this is the default but Channel 5 or 6 would be recommended for longer distance links


Replace the SSID & Passphrase with your own unique identifiers for this bridge.



3. Next go to the System page and set a unique Device name to identify the Master radio, we would also recommend configuring the Time settings for accurate logging:



4. Click the Save Now button to apply all of the configuration changes that have been made.



This completes the Master setup and you can now move to the Slave.


PTP Slave


1. Log in to the second radio using the same defaults as the Master and set a new password for security.


2. Go to Configuration -> Wireless and make the following changes:

Wireless mode: Point-to-point slave

SSID: tachyon-ptp
Passphrase: myPassword123


Be sure to match the SSID & Passphrase that were set on the Master.



3. Next go to the System page and set a unique Device name to identify the Slave radio, as with the Master unit we recommend configuring the Time settings for accurate logging.



4. Click the Save Now button to apply all of the configuration changes that have been made.



This completes the Slave and overall PTP bridge configuration, we can now verify that our link has established by going to the Dashboard and checking the Wireless Status.
