Installing The Bridge - Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Manual

Installing the Bridge

Typically, the bridge is installed on a rooftop, mast, tower, wall, or a suitable
flat surface. Because there are so many ways to install the bridge, this guide
provides an overview with references to specific installation documents.
Personnel installing the bridge must understand wireless bridging techniques,
particularly antenna alignment and adjustment. The integrated antenna
version can be installed by an experienced IT personnel, but the external
antenna version must be professionally installed.
There are three basic types of bridge installations:
• Rooftop with short mast
•
Mast top (tall mast)
•
Tower
Note Each of these installation types requires different approaches to the
installation process. These approaches are described in detail in the
Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Mounting Instructions
that shipped with your bridge.
