5. Funcionament

5.1. POE Power Supply Connection

The CF-E319A V2 supports Power over Ethernet (POE), allowing a single 100-meter long network cable to provide both power and data transmission. This simplifies outdoor installations by reducing the need for separate power outlets.

5.2. Indicadors LED

The device is equipped with LED indicators to provide real-time status information:

  • Llum de potència: On when the device is connected and powered.
  • Indicador WAN/LAN: Flashing indicates network transmission data.
  • Indicador WiFi: Flashing indicates wireless data transmission.
  • Signal Strength (1-3 lights): Three lights on indicate the strongest signal.

5.3. Wireless Bridge Connection Modes

The CF-E319A V2 supports various wireless bridge connection methods:

5.3.1. Point-to-Point Connection (Method 1)

This method is used for connecting multiple cameras to a monitoring center. Connect each camera to a POE switch, then connect the POE switch to one COMFAST bridge (set to Terminal mode). The other COMFAST bridge (set to AP transmit mode) connects to a DVR and monitor computer, transmitting data through the one-to-one bridge.

Diagram illustrating a Point-to-Point connection: multiple cameras connect to a POE switch, then to a CPE Bridge (Terminal mode), which wirelessly connects to another CPE Bridge (AP transmit mode) connected to a DVR and monitor computer.
Figure 5.3: Point-to-Point Connection Diagram.

5.3.2. Multi-Point to Multi-Point Connection (Method 2)

For scenarios where cameras are far apart, configure a pair of bridges for each camera. The monitoring center uses a switch to connect the AP terminals together, which then connects to a hard disk video recorder.

Diagram showing a Multi-Point to Multi-Point connection: multiple cameras each connect to a CPE Bridge (Terminal mode), which wirelessly connect to multiple CPE Bridges (AP emission mode) that are connected to a POE switch, then to a DVR and monitor computer.
Figure 5.4: Multi-Point to Multi-Point Connection Diagram.

5.3.3. Point-to-Multi-Point Connection (Method 3)

If the angle between the camera location and the monitoring center is less than 120 degrees, a point-to-multipoint setup can be used. This reduces the cost of the transmitter bridge, provided the prerequisites for angle and broadband requirements are met. In wireless monitoring transmission, it is recommended to use this illustrated method for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint transmission. The transmission angle of the wireless bridge is 120 degrees. Please adjust the angle of the device accordingly.

5.4. SSID Broadcast Hiding

The wireless bridge supports SSID broadcast hiding, which helps to prevent unauthorized access to your network and ensures project stability.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your COMFAST CF-E319A V2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Sense energia: Ensure the POE adapter is correctly connected and receiving power. Verify the network cable is securely plugged into both the CPE and the POE adapter.
  • Sense senyal/Senyal feble:
    • Check the alignment of the CPE units using the built-in level and LED signal indicators. Adjust the angle for optimal signal strength.
    • Ensure there are no significant obstacles (trees, buildings, etc.) directly blocking the line of sight between the CPEs.
    • Verify that the devices are configured correctly for Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multi-Point mode.
  • Problemes de connectivitat de xarxa:
    • Confirm that the network cables are properly connected to the LAN/WAN ports.
    • Check the network settings on connected devices (e.g., computer, camera).
    • If using a switch, ensure it is functioning correctly.
  • Interferència: The CF-E319A V2 operates on the 5.8GHz band to minimize interference from common 2.4GHz devices. If interference persists, ensure proper channel selection in the device's software settings.
  • El dispositiu no respon: If the device becomes unresponsive, press and hold the RESET button for a few seconds to restore factory default settings. (Note: This will erase all custom configurations).

8. Consells d'usuari

  • For Point-to-Point Connections: For optimal performance and to achieve the advertised long-range transmission (e.g., 5-11KM), it is highly recommended to purchase two CPE units to establish a dedicated wireless bridge.
  • Consciència d'obstacles: The effective transmission distance can be significantly affected by obstacles such as trees, walls, buildings, or even large vehicles. Always aim for a clear line of sight between CPE units.
  • Potència externa: The device uses a POE adapter for power, eliminating the need for a separate external power source at the CPE unit itself, as long as the POE adapter is powered.
  • Finalitat: This device is primarily for extending and bridging WiFi networks over long distances, not for boosting phone signals.
