Connect Cables to the Unit
1.
Attach the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the wireless bridge.
Note: The Ethernet cable included with the package is 30 m (100 ft) long. To wire a
longer cable (maximum 100 m, 325 ft), use the connector pinout information in
Appendix B.
2.
For extra protection against rain or moisture, apply weatherproofing tape (not
included) around the Ethernet connector.
3.
Be sure to ground the unit with an appropriate grounding wire (not included) by
attaching it to the grounding screw on the unit.
Caution: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national
electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods, lightning
arrestors, or surge suppressors.
Connect the Power Injector
To connect the wireless bridge to a power source:
Caution: Do not install the power injector outdoors. The unit is for indoor installation only.
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.
1.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the wireless bridge to the RJ-45 port labeled
"Output" on the power injector.
2.
Connect a straight-through unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable from a local
LAN switch to the RJ-45 port labeled "Input" on the power injector. Use
Category 5 or better UTP cable for 10/100BASE-TX connections.
Note: The RJ-45 port on the power injector is an MDI port. If connecting directly to a
computer for testing the link, use a crossover cable.
