computers or share an Internet connection. The only data that is allowed to cross the
bridge is data that is being sent to a valid address on the other side of the bridge. Bridges
don't require programming. They learn the addresses of the computers connected to
them by listening to the data flowing through them. Bridges are very useful for joining
networks made of different media types together into larger networks, and keeping
network segments free of data that doesn't belong in a particular segment.
Router - Router is an OSI model Layer 3 device, and forwards data depending on the
network address, not the hardware (MAC) address. For TCP/IP networks this means the
IP address of the network interface. Routers isolate each LAN into a separate subnet.
Routers provide bandwidth control by keeping data out of subnets where it doesn't belong,
however routes need to be set up before they can get going.
WLANx Mode - Wireless LAN Operational mode for the device. Available modes are:
Access Point - This mode allows connection of any 802.11a based Client Devices.
Polling Base Station – This mode utilizes OSBRiDGE proprietary polling wireless mac
protocol, that has been specifically optimized for high performance outdoor networks.
Web Login Timeout – Enter the value the management Web session should be kept alive
without any action from the user.
Watchdog – If enabled then OSBRiDGE 5G device will send 3 ICMP Echo Requests to the
configured IP address, each in 3 minutes interval. If there is no single ICMP Echo Reply to any of
these requests, then the device will reboot itself. The device has also independent hardware
watchdog built in, that checks for critical operational parameters and reboots the device, should
the system hang or become unstable. That watchdog works all the time, regardless of the ping
watchdog configuration.
ETH Speed – Ethernet connection speed, available values are Auto, 100MBps Half/Full Duplex
and 10Mbps Half/Full Duplex.
Stats Update Interval – time interval between subsequential graph updates.
Traffic Shaping – Enable or Disable built in traffic shaper.
Firewall – Enable or Disable built in packet filtering firewall.
Wireless Traffic Forwarding – If Enabled when device is operating as Access Point then all
traffic coming from WLAN interface is forwarded to specified MAC address on the wired interface
only.
Reset to Default Password - Password that is used to reset device to factory default settings
using OSReset software.
NTP Server – Configure IP address of the external NTP (Network Time Protocol) server where
OSBRiDGE device will obtain current time from at startup time.
