Integrated High-Gain Antenna
The SMC2888W-S wireless bridge includes an integrated
high-gain (17 dBi) flat-panel antenna for 5 GHz operation.
External Antenna Options
The SMC2888W-M Master bridge unit does not include an
integrated antenna, but provides various external antenna options
for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz operation. In a point-to-multipoint
configuration, an external high-gain omnidirectional, sector, or
high-gain panel antenna can be attached to communicate with
bridges spread over a wide area.
External antennas connect to the N-type RF connectors on the
wireless bridge using the provided coaxial cables.
Ethernet Port
The wireless bridge has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX 8-pin DIN
port that connects to the power injector module using the
included Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port connection provides
power to the wireless bridge as well as a data link to the local
network.
The wireless bridge appears as an Ethernet node and performs a
bridging function by moving packets from the wired LAN to the
remote end of the wireless bridge link.
Note: The power injector module does not support Power over Ethernet
(PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. The wireless bridge
unit must always be powered on by being connected to the power
injector module.
