Hardware Installation

Before mounting antennas to set up your wireless bridge links, be
sure you have selected appropriate locations for each antenna.
Follow the guidance and information in Chapter 2, "Wireless Link
Planning."
Also, before mounting units in their intended locations, you should
first perform initial configuration and test the basic operation of
the wireless bridge links in a controlled environment over a very
short range. (See the section "Testing Basic Link Operation" in
this chapter.)
The wireless bridge includes its own bracket kit for mounting the
unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or tube. The
pole-mounting bracket allows the unit to be mounted to part of a
radio mast or tower structure. The unit also has a wall-mounting
bracket kit that enables it to be fixed to a building wall or roof
when using external antennas.
Hardware installation of the wireless bridge involves these steps:
1. Mount the unit on a wall, pole, mast, or tower using the
mounting bracket.
2. Mount external antennas on the same supporting structure
as the bridge and connect them to the bridge unit.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable and a grounding wire to the unit.
4. Connect the power injector to the Ethernet cable, a local LAN
switch, and an AC power source.
