5. Käytä asetuksia: Save and apply the configuration. The device may reboot.
6. Tarkista yhteys: After reboot, check the indicator lights to confirm successful connection to your network. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer if using WiFi mode.

Note: For detailed configuration steps specific to each mode, refer to the online documentation or the device's web interface help section.

6. Toimintatilat

The VONETS VBG1200 supports three primary operating modes:

6.1. WiFi Bridge Mode

In Bridge mode, the device converts a WiFi signal into a wired Ethernet connection. This is ideal for connecting wired-only devices (e.g., network printers, DVRs, IP cameras, smart TVs, gaming consoles like PS3) to a wireless network without running long Ethernet cables.

Figure 6.1: WiFi Bridge Application

Kokoonpano: Connect the VBG1200 to your wired device via Ethernet. Access the configuration page, select Bridge mode, and connect to your existing WiFi network by entering its SSID and password.

6.2. WiFi Repeater Mode

Repeater mode extends the range of an existing WiFi network. The VBG1200 receives the wireless signal from your main router and re-broadcasts it, effectively expanding coverage to areas with weak or no signal.

Figure 6.2: WiFi Repeater Application

Kokoonpano: Place the VBG1200 within range of your main WiFi router. Access the configuration page, select Repeater mode, and connect to your existing WiFi network. The device will then extend this network.

6.3. WiFi Router Mode

In Router mode, the VBG1200 acts as a primary wireless access point. It can connect to an internet source (e.g., a modem) via its Ethernet port and then broadcast its own WiFi network for multiple devices to connect to.

Figure 6.3: WiFi Router Application

Kokoonpano: Connect the VBG1200's Ethernet port to your modem or internet source. Access the configuration page, select Router mode, and set up your new WiFi network's SSID and password.

7. Sovellusskenaariot

The VBG1200 is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its versatile functionality:

• Teollisuusautomaatio: Connecting industrial PLCs and control systems to a wireless network.
• Turvajärjestelmät: Providing network connectivity for monitoring cameras and DVRs.
• Lääketieteelliset laitteet: Enabling wireless connectivity for various medical instruments.
• Retail & POS: Integrating electronic scales and cash registers into a network.
• IoT-laitteet: Serving as a WiFi adapter for IoT gateways and other smart devices.
• Robotiikka: Providing network access for robotic systems.

9. Vianmääritys

If you encounter issues with your VBG1200, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ei virtaa/merkkivalot eivät pala:
  • Ensure the USB/DC power cable is securely connected to both the device and a working power source (5V-15V).
  • Kokeile toista USB-virtalähdettä tai USB-porttia.
• Määrityssivulle ei pääse:
  • Verify that your computer is directly connected to the VBG1200 via Ethernet.
  • Ensure your computer's network adapter is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).
  • Kokeile toista web selain.
  • Reset the device to factory defaults (see Section 10.1).
• Ei Internet-yhteyttä:
  • In Bridge/Repeater mode, ensure the VBG1200 is successfully connected to your main WiFi network (check indicator lights).

  • Verify that the WiFi password entered during configuration is correct.
  • Check for signal interference or distance issues.
• Hidas nopeus/epävakaa yhteys:
  • Ensure the device is placed in an optimal location, away from obstructions and interference sources.
  • Check if other devices on your network are consuming significant bandwidth.
  • Consider switching between 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands if applicable, as 5GHz offers higher speed but shorter range.
  • Ensure the device has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating, which can affect performance. The aluminum casing on suunniteltu lämmönpoistoa varten.
• Device Does Not Reconnect Automatically:
  • This can sometimes occur after a power outage. Try power cycling the device (unplug and replug).
  • Ensure the "WiFi hotspot auto-reconnect" feature is enabled in the configuration settings.

10. Huolto

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VBG1200 device.

• Puhdistus: Puhdista laite pehmeällä, kuivalla liinalla. Älä käytä nestemäisiä puhdistusaineita tai aerosoleja.
