Page 24: Ethernet Port
Local Network to Wireless Bridge The wireless bridge does not have a power switch. It is powered on when its Ethernet port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector module is connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED indicator that turns on when AC power is applied.
Page 25: Grounding Point
Grounding Point The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between 100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required. The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount Warning: the power injector outside with the wireless bridge unit. Grounding Point Even though the wireless bridge includes its own built-in lightning protection, it is important that the unit is properly connected to ground.

Page 33: Chapter 3: Bridge Link Planning
Chapter 3: Bridge Link Planning The Dual-band Outdoor Access Point / Bridge supports fixed point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless links. A single link between two points can be used to connect a remote site to larger core network. Multiple bridge links can provide a way to connect widespread Ethernet LANs.
Page 34: Antenna Height
Bridge Link Planning Visual Line of Sight If there are obstacles in the radio path, there may still be a radio link but the quality and strength of the signal will be affected. Calculating the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important as it directly affects the decision on antenna placement and height.
Page 35 Total Link Distance Max Clearance for 60% of First Fresnel Zone at 5.8 GHz 0.25 mile (402 m) 4.5 ft (1.4 m) 0.5 mile (805 m) 6.4 ft (1.95 m) 1 mile (1.6 km) 9 ft (2.7 m) 2 miles (3.2 km) 12.7 ft (3.9 m) 3 miles (4.8 km) 15.6 ft (4.8 m)
Page 36: Antenna Position And Orientation
Bridge Link Planning (7.5 ft) mast or pole must be contructed on its roof to achieve the required antenna height. Building B is only three stories high, or 9 m (30 ft), but is located at an elevation that is 12 m (39 ft) higher than bulding A. To mount an anntena at the required height on building B, a mast or pole of only 1.3 m (4.3 ft) is needed.
Page 37: Radio Interference
Radio Interference The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a channel frequencies.
Page 38: Grounding
Bridge Link Planning • Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable • For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building Grounding It is important that the wireless bridge, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded.
Page 39: Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
Connect the Ethernet cable and a grounding wire to the unit. Connect the power injector to the Ethernet cable, a local LAN switch, and an AC power source. Align antennas at both ends of the link.
Page 40 Hardware Installation The bridge’s mounting bracket has four parts. One rectangular plate that is used for pole and wall mounting, one square plate that attaches directly to the bridge, and two plates that form an adjustable V-shaped clamp for pole mounting. Mounting on a Pole Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or tube using the mounting bracket:...
Page 41 Attach the adjustable rectangular plate to the bridge with supplied screws Attach the bridge with its mounting plate to the bracket already fixed to the pole. Attach the bridge to the plate on the pole Use the included nuts to secure the wireless bridge to the pole bracket. Note that the wireless bridge tilt angle may need to be adjusted during the antenna alignment process.
Page 42: Mounting To A Wall
Hardware Installation Be sure to take account of the antenna polarization direction; all antennas in a link must be mounted with the same polarization. Mounting to a Wall Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a wall using the wall-mounting bracket: Note: The wall-mounting bracket does not allow the wireless bridge’s intrgrated antenna to be aligned.
Page 43: Connect External Antennas
Connect External Antennas When deploying a SMC2891W-AG unit for a bridge link or access point operation, you need to mount external antennas and connect them to the bridge. Typically, a bridge link requires a 5 GHz antenna, and access point operation a 2.4 GHz antenna.
Page 44: Connect Cables To The Unit
Hardware Installation 2.4 GHz N-type Connector 5 GHz N-type Connector RF Coaxial Cable Connect Cables to the Unit Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the bridge Warning: during periods of lightning activity. Attach the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the wireless bridge. For extra protection against rain or moisture, apply weatherproofing tape (not included) around the Ethernet connector.
Page 45: Connect The Power Injector
Note: The wireless bridge’s Ethernet port does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to power the unit by connecting it directly to a network switch that provides IEEE 802.3af PoE. Always connect the unit to the included power injector module.
Page 46: Align Antennas
Hardware Installation Ethernet cable from LAN switch Insert the power cable plug directly into the standard AC receptacle on the power injector. Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power source. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
Page 47 The signal strength LEDs indicate the received radio signal strength for a particular bridge link. The more LEDs that turn on, the stronger the signal. Alternatively, you can monitor the Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value directly from the management interface. The higher the RSSI value, the stronger the signal. When you move the antenna during alignment, the radio signal from the remote antenna can be seen to have a strong central main lobe and smaller side lobes.
Page 48 Hardware Installation Pan the antenna horizontally back and forth while checking the LEDs. If using the pole-mounting bracket with the unit, you must rotate the mounting bracket around the pole. Other external antenna brackets may require a different horizontal adjustment. Find the point where the signal is strongest (all LEDs on) and secure the horizontal adjustment in that position.
Page 49: Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Chapter 5: Initial Configuration The Dual-band Outdoor Access Point / Bridge offers a variety of management options, including a web-based interface, a direct connection to the console port, Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), or using SNMP software.

Page 63: Ssh Settings
SSH Settings Telnet is a remote management tool that can be used to configure the access point from anywhere in the network. However, Telnet is not secure from hostile attacks. The Secure Shell (SSH) can act as a secure replacement for Telnet. The SSH protocol uses generated public keys to encrypt all data transfers passing between the access point and SSH-enabled management station clients and ensures that data traveling over the network arrives unaltered.
Page 64: Authentication
System Configuration CLI Commands for SSH – To enable the SSH server, use the ip ssh-server enable command from the CLI Ethernet interface configuration mode. To set the SSH server UDP port, use the ip ssh-server port command. To view the current settings, use the show system command from the CLI Exec mode (not shown in the following example).
Page 65 MAC Authentication – You can configure a list of the MAC addresses for wireless clients that are authorized to access the network. This provides a basic level of authentication for wireless clients attempting to gain access to the network. A database of authorized MAC addresses can be stored locally on the access point or remotely on a central RADIUS server.
Page 66 System Configuration Local MAC Authentication – Configures the local MAC authentication database. The MAC database provides a mechanism to take certain actions based on a wireless client’s MAC address. The MAC list can be configured to allow or deny network access to specific clients.

Page 73: Wds Settings
This allows a wireless bridge to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STP-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
Page 74 System Configuration • Bridge: Operates as a bridge to other access points. The “Parent” link to the root bridge must be configured. Up to five other ”Child” links are available to other bridges. • Repeater: Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for remote wireless clients and connecting them to the root bridge.
Page 75 Spanning Tree Protocol – STP uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device (STP-compliant switch, bridge or router) that serves as the root of the spanning tree network. It selects a root port on each bridging device (except for the root device) which incurs the lowest path cost when forwarding a packet from that device to the root device.
Page 76 System Configuration Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval (Maximum Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the root bridge is down.
Page 77 • Link Port Priority – Defines the priority used for this port in the Spanning Tree Protocol. If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with the highest priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as an active link in the spanning tree.
Page 78 System Configuration CLI Commands for STP Settings – If the role of a radio interface is set to Repeater, Bridge or Root Bridge, STP can be enabled on the access point to maintain a valid network topology. To globally enable STP, use the bridge stp enable command from the CLI configuration mode.
Page 79: Ap Management

Page 99 CLI Commands for Configuring SNMPv3 Users – Use the snmp-server engine-id command to define the SNMP v3 engine before assigning users to groups. Use the snmp-server user command to assign users to one of the three groups and set the appropriate authentication and encryption types to be used.
Page 100: Configuring Snmpv3 Trap Filters
System Configuration Configuring SNMPv3 Trap Filters SNMP v3 users can be configured to receive notification messages from the access point. An SNMP Target ID is created that specifies the SNMP v3 user, IP address, and UDP port. A user-defined notification filter can be created so that specific notifications can be prevented from being sent to particular targets.
Page 101 Filter ID – A user-defined name that identifies the filter. (Maximum length: 32 characters) Subtree OID – Specifies MIB subtree to be filtered. The MIB subtree must be defined in the form “.1.3.6.1” and always start with a “.”. Filter Type – Indicates if the filter is to “include” or “exclude” the MIB subtree objects from the filter.
Page 102: Configuring Snmpv3 Targets
System Configuration Configuring SNMPv3 Targets An SNMP v3 notification Target ID is specified by the SNMP v3 user, IP address, and UDP port. A user-defined filter can also be assigned to specific targets to limit the notifications received to specific MIB objects. (Note that the filter must first be configured.
Page 103: Radio Interface
UDP Port – The UDP port that is used on the receiving management station for notification messages. SNMP User – The defined SNMP v3 user that is to receive notification messages. Assigned Filter – The name of a user-defined notification filter that is applied to the target.
Page 104 System Configuration Each radio supports up to four virtual access point (VAP) interfaces numbered 0 to 3. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security settings. However, most radio signal parameters apply to all four VAP interfaces.
Page 105: Radio Settings A (802.11A)
Radio Interface Radio Settings A (802.11a) The IEEE 802.11a interface operates within the 5 GHz band, at up to 54 Mbps in normal mode or up to 108 Mbps in Turbo mode. First configure the radio settings that apply to the individual VAPs (Virtual Access Point) and the common radio settings that apply to the overall system.
Page 106 System Configuration Default VLAN ID – The VLAN ID assigned to wireless clients associated to the VAP interface that are not assigned to a specific VLAN by RADIUS server configuration.

Page 127 Radio Interface Enabling the VAPs Before enabling the Virtual Access Point (VAP) radio interfaces, first configure all of the relevant raido settings (see “Radio Settings A (802.11a)” on page 6-53 or “Radio Settings G (802.11g)” on page 6-68.) After you have configured the radio settings, select Security under Radio A or Radio G, set an SSID to identify the wireless network service provided by each VAP you want to use, and then click Apply to save your settings.
Page 128 System Configuration Setting up shared keys enables the basic IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) on the access point to prevent unauthorized access to the network. If you choose to use WEP shared keys instead of an open system, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for user authentication and data encryption.
Page 129 To enable WEP shared keys for a VAP interface, click Security under Radio A or Radio G. Then, select the VAP interface that will use WEP keys by clicking More, and configure the Authentication Type Setup and Encryption fields. Authentication Type Setup – Sets the access point to communicate as an open system that accepts network access attempts from any client, or with clients using pre-configured static shared keys.

The PSK mode uses the same TKIP packet encryption and key management as WPA in the enterprise, providing a robust and manageable alternative for small networks. Mixed WPA and WEP Client Support: WPA enables the access point to indicate its supported encryption and authentication mechanisms to clients using its beacon signal.
Page 135 information form a Security Association that the access point names and holds in a cache. • Preauthentication: Each time a client roams to another access point it has to be fully re-authenticated. This authentication process is time consuming and can disrupt applications running over the network.
Page 136 System Configuration The WPA configuration parameters are described below: Encryption – You must enable data encryption in order to enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the access point. Pre-Authentication – When using WPA2 over 802.1X, pre-authentication can be enabled, which allows clients to roam to a new access point and be quickly associated without performing full 802.1X authentication.
