Chapter 1 Hardware Installation This chapter describes the procedures for installing the Outdoor Router/Bridge. Note: Before you mount the Router/Bridge to a mast or on the side of a building, be sure to configure and test the device first. Here’s what you’ll find in this chapter: _ Before You Start _ Locate the Router/Bridge Ports _ Preparing for Installation _ Outdoor Installation z After unpacking the system, make sure the following items are present and in good condition, as shown in Figure 1.
Preparing Installation Before installing your Outdoor Wireless LAN system for your outdoor application in a hard-to-reach location, we recommend that you configure and test all the devices first. For configuring the Outdoor Router/Bridge, you need follow the quick steps below to power up your Router/Bridge: Step 1: With the unit powered off, attach one end of the RF cable to the antenna connector and then connect the antenna to the other end of the RF cable as shown in Figure 1.3. information.
Outdoor Installation Outdoor Router/Bridge device can be mounted on the side of a building or mounted to an antenna mast as shown in Figure 1.5 and Figure 1.6. A wall (side) mount allows for mounting an antenna (mast) on the side of a building or on the side of an elevator penthouse. This will provide a convenient mounting location when the roof overhang is not excessive and/or the location is high enough to provide a clear line of sight. b. Typical diameter of the mast should be between 35 mm (1.4 in.
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your outdoor installation is properly grounded. Antenna Alignment For optimal performance of your wireless link, make sure that the antennas are properly aligned (facing one another “eye-to-eye”). To align the antennas: _ Use a pair of binoculars and/or a map of the area and compass to point the antennas to one another.
Chapter 2 Quick Setup This chapter describes how to easy setup and configure the Outdoor Wireless Router/Bridge System (RB). The RB can be configured into two roles: Root Access Point (Root AP) and Remote Extension Bridge (Remote RB) to accomplish the broadband wireless point-to-point and multipoint systems (as shown in Figure 2-1.). Users can use a LAN-attached (wired or wireless) computer to configure the RB through a web browser or a telnet session on a LAN computer. 3.
