Before You Begin

Before beginning installation, determine bridge location. Because the unit is a radio device, unit

and antenna location are important to ensure optimum radio range and throughput:

• To maximize the range of a building-to-building connection, install the antenna as high as

possible.

• Maintain a clear line of sight between wireless bridge antennas. Obstructions may impede

performance or limit bridge ability to transmit and receive data.

• Place directional antennas at both ends with maximum path clearance.

Connect and Power Up the Bridge

Note: Before you install the bridge system, we recommend that you test the bridge using the

2.2 dBi antenna included in the package. Then install the wireless bridge with the appropriate

antenna for your application. A lightning arrestor and low-loss antenna cable are included in

the optional antenna kits or can be ordered separately.

Installing the Antenna

1If applicable, with the unit powered off, attach a lightning arrestor to the antenna

connector.

Note: The lightning arrestor provides surge protection to the bridge in the event of a lightning

strike and is highly recommended if the antenna will be located outdoors.

2Connect one end of the low-loss antenna cable to the lightning arrestor connected to the

bridge antenna connector.

Note: Because of FCC and DOC regulations, the antenna connector on the Aironet bridge is

of reverse polarity to the standard TNC connectors.

3Connect the other end of the antenna cable to the 2.2 dBi antenna or to an external

high-gain antenna.

4Mount the bridge antenna at an appropriate elevation to ensure maximum path clearance

and line-of-sight to the other bridge or device.

Installing the Ethernet Connection

The Aironet wireless Ethernet bridge supports three connection types: 10Base2 (Thinnet),

10Base5 (Thicknet), or 10BaseT (twisted pair). Connect only one Ethernet cable to each

bridge. With the power off, connect the appropriate cable from your network to the bridge.

Attaching 10Base2 Cabling

1Attach the 10Base2 (Thinnet) cabling to

a BNC T-connector.

2Attach the T-connector to the 10Base2

connector on the bridge.

3If the unit is at the end of the Ethernet

cable, install a 50-ohm terminator on

the open end of the T-connector.

Caution Removing a terminator

to install extra cable or breaking an

existing cable to install a

T-connector will cause a disruption

in Ethernet traffic. Consult your

LAN administrator before you

change any Ethernet cable

connections.

Attaching 10Base5 Cabling

1Attach the transceiver connector to the

10Base5 (Thicknet) port.

2Slide the locking mechanism into place.

3Attach the other end of the transceiver

drop cabling to an external transceiver.

Attaching 10BaseT Cabling

1Plug the RJ-45 connector into the

10BaseT (twisted pair) port.

2Connect the other end of the twisted

pair cabling to the 10BaseT Ethernet

LAN connection.

The console port and power connections are on the side of the bridge. The console connection

is required for setting up initial configuration information. After configuration is complete, you

may remove this cable unless or until additional configuration is required via the serial port.

1Attach the console port cable to the

console port on the bridge.

2Attach the other end of the console cable

to the serial port on a terminal or PC

running a terminal emulation program.

3Set the terminal to 9600 baud, 8data

bits, No parity, 1stop bit, and Xon/Xoff

flow control.

Connecting Power to the Bridge

1Connect the small plug on the end of the

power pack cord into the bridge power

port.

2Plug the power pack into an electrical

outlet (120VAC/60 Hz or

90–264VAC/47–63 Hz, as appropriate).

3Push the on/off button to power on the

bridge.

When power is initially applied to the

bridge, all three indicators on the top

panel will flash in sequence to test the

functionality of the indicators.

Configure the Bridge

Assigning the SSID

Use the console port to set the Service Set

Identifier (SSID) that allows the wireless

bridge to communicate with other nodes.The

SSID is a unique, case-sensitive identifier that

is attached to selected packets sent out over

the radio network. Nodes associating to the

bridge must use the same SSID or their

association requests will be ignored.

Determine a unique SSID for the bridges and

make sure that all bridges in the network use

the same SSID.

1On the terminal connected to the console

port, select Configuration from the Main

menu.

2From the Configuration menu, select

Radio.

3From the Radio menu, select SSID.

4Enter a value for the SSID option. The

SSID can have up to 32 characters. All

devices in the same radio network must

use the same SSID. This value is case

sensitive.

Assigning IP Information

To enable remote access to the bridge using

Telnet, HTTP, or SNMP, you must assign an

IP address to the bridge.

Note: You can also assign other detailed

internet addressing options, such as gateway

address, subnet mask, or SNMP

configuration. Refer to the user guide on the

product CD for more information.

1On the terminal connected to the

console port, select Configuration from

the Main menu.

2From the Configuration menu, select

Ident.

3Use the INADDR option to assign an IP

address. Be sure to assign a unique IP

address to each bridge.

4Use the INMASK option to define the

internet subnet mask, if appropriate.

5Use the GATEWAY option to define the

gateway address, if appropriate.

Setting Root Configuration

Before performing detailed configuration, you should determine whether the bridge will be a

root bridge or a non-root bridge. Refer to the Aironet 340 Series Wireless Bridge User Guide

on the product CD for configuration examples. The default setting for a bridge is as a root unit.

Use the following steps to change this setting.

1Access the Configuration Radio menu.

—If you are using a terminal emulator, select Configuration > Radio from the Main

menu.

—If you are using a browser, click Radio under the Configuration heading.

2At the Configuration Radio menu, select on or off for the Enable root mode setting.

—If you are using a terminal emulator, enter a 2to select the Root setting. The prompt

will ask if you are sure you want to change the setting. Enter yto toggle the setting from

on to off, or from off to on.

—If you are using a browser, click Allow Config Changes and then click On to set the

bridge as a root unit, or click Off to set the bridge as a non-root unit.

Once the bridge is configured as a root or non-root unit, you can quit the terminal emulator or

browser, disconnect the console port cable, and install the bridge in its desired location before

proceeding with remote configuration.

Refer to the Aironet 340 Series Wireless Bridge User Guide on the product CD for details on

configuration.
