Lightning Bolt
2x Dual band 2.4/5GHZ Omni Antenna 7/9dBi
2. Introduction
The N-Connex Lightning Bolt provides convenient WiFi capability to N-Connex
based networks. Built for harsh environmentsThe Lighting Bolt is a compact
2.4/5GHz 2x2 MIMO wireless access point suitable for use some operations. The
Lighting Bolt has two N-Type antenna connectors to fit an assortment of industry
standard antenna options. Powered by PoE, a single Cat6 cable provides network
connectivity and power, making installation easy and intuitive.
The secret power of the N-Connex Lighting Bolt is the built-in WiFi tracking function.
When paired with NLTs flagship software Digital Mine and NLT WiFi tracking tags
the N-Connex Lightning Bolt becomes a powerful tracking device. The Lightning
Bolt is capable of tracking and reporting to NLT Digital Mine software, personnel,
vehicles, or assets that are within its vicinity.
The N-Connex Lightning Bolt can be deployed at a maximum distance of 300m
from a PoE switch using Cat6 ethernet cables and N-Connex PoE extenders.

6. Cable Connection
The NLT Lightning Bolt can be connected directly from a PoE Switch or a PoE
Extender. The Bolt is a PoE Active device and need a compatible power source.
The maximum distance on a single run of Cat6 is 100m from the source. NLT
recommend using cat6 AWG23 ethernet cable to minimize losses
7. Configuration
7.1. Connecting to Logging Page
The Lightning BOLT has a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0
You must set your PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the Lighting BOLT
(that is, the PC and BOLT must both be on network 192.168.1.0/ 24). To access
the Lightning BOLT’s management GUI interface, follow these steps:
I. Point the web browser to http://192.168.1.1
II. Log into the interface by entering the default credentials
