Note:
 
If you do not see the Bridge as an attached device, refresh the configuration 
screen (some Access Point programs provide a Refresh button for this 
purpose). If the Bridge still does not appear, refer to the troubleshooting chapter 
in this Guide and in the documentation for your Access Point. 
 
Note:
 
You can also use the device discovery feature of the Airborne Control Center 
software (see page 25
XX
) to help determine the Bridge’s IP address. 
 
•  Verify the MAC Address 
Go to the Attached Devices or equivalent screen in your Access Point’s configuration 
application that lists the MAC addresses of attached devices. Verify that the MAC 
address shown for the Bridge matches the one on the label on the back of the 
Bridge. 
 
•  Verify the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Name 
Go to the Router Status or equivalent screen in your Access Point’s configuration 
application that shows the Bridge’s DHCP client name. Verify that this name 
matches the last six characters in the Bridge’s MAC address (AIRBORNExxxxxx) on 
the label on the back of the Bridge.

Bridge’s IP address 
 
 
 
Note:
 
If the Bridge is unable to obtain an IP address through DHCP, after the 
acquire limit is exceeded (150 seconds) the bridge will install the fallback 
IP address (192.168.10.1) and subnet (255.255.255.0). 
The bridge can be accessed using this address, after DHCP fails, by the 
attached host using a different IP address in the same subnet 
(192.168.10.8).
