THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Overview

The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Bridget (hereafter called the bridge) is a wireless device designed for building-to-building wireless connectivity. Operating in the 2.4-GHz band (2.400 to 2.497 GHz), using the IEEE 802.11g standard, the bridge delivers 1 to 54 Mbps data rates without the need for a license. The bridge is a self-contained unit designed for outdoor installations, providing differing antenna gains as well as coverage patterns. It supports point-to-point and multipoint bridging configurations. When placed in access point mode, the bridge supports wireless IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g client devices.

The bridge uses a browser-based management system, but you can also configure the bridge using Cisco IOS commands or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

This chapter provides information on the following topics:

Chapter 1 Overview

Power

The bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the

bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the bridge.

The power injector uses an external 48-VDC power module and injects the DC voltage into the dual-coax cables to power the bridge. The power injector can be also directly connected to a +12 VDC to +48 VDC power source, such as a vehicle battery.

Note The power injector and the power module should not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment or

in an environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.

Integrated Antenna

Key Features

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

The bridge is available with an integrated 13-dBi patch array antenna. The antenna is covered with a radome to protect it from environmental elements. When configured with the integrated antenna, the antenna polarization is controlled by the mounting orientation of the bridge.

Note Some international regulatory regions may restrict the integrated antenna bridge configuration.

External Antenna

The bridge is available in an external antenna configuration (see Figure 1-1) for use with existing Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz antennas. Two reverse-TNC type RF connectors are provided on the end of the unit to support single or diversity antenna configurations.

The antennas connect to the bridge antenna connectors using a coax cable. The list below contains some of the external antennas supported by the bridge.

• 2.2 dBi omnidirectional

• 5.2-dBi omnidirectional antenna with vertical polarization

• 12-dBi omnidirectional antenna with vertical polarization

• 9-dBi patch wall mount antenna

• 10 dBi yagi antenna

• 13.5 dBi yagi antenna

• 15-dBi sector antenna with vertical polarization

OL-5048-01

• 21-dBi dish antenna

Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna BR1300 configuration and the external antenna

must be professionally installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.

Enclosure

Chapter 1 Overview

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

The bridge’s power injector dual-coax ports accept a pair of 75-ohm F-type connectors, linking the bridge to your 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN through the power injector. The dual-coax cables are used to send and receive Ethernet data and to supply inline 48-VDC power from the power injector. For the location of the ports, refer to Figure 1-3.

The bridge senses the Ethernet signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.

The bridge uses an enclosure that supports indoor or outdoor operating environments. (refer to “Bridge

Specifications” section on page C-1).

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

The bridge LEDs are shown in Figure 1-3.

• The install LED indicates that installation mode is activated. During installation mode, the other

LEDs provide signal strength readings used for antenna alignment.

• The radio LED blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it blinks

green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the bridge radio link. This LED also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

• The status LED signals bridge association status. Blinking green indicates that the bridge is not

associated with another bridge. Steady green indicates that the bridge is associated with at least one other bridge. This LED also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

• The Ethernet LED signals Ethernet traffic. This LED blinks green when a packet is received or

transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The LED is off when the Ethernet link not working or the port is shutdown. This LED also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

For additional information on the LEDs, refer to “Checking the Bridge LEDs” section on page 8-2.

Network Configuration Examples

Chapter 1 Overview

This section describes the bridge’s role in five common wireless network configurations.

Point-to-Point Configuration

In a point-to-point configuration, two bridges connect two remote LAN networks using a wireless communication link (see Figure 1-4). The bridge connected to the main LAN network is classified as a root bridge and the other bridge is classified as a repeater bridge.

Figure 1-4 Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration

Bridge Bridge

Port Aggregation or Redundancy Configuration

The port aggregation or redundancy configuration (Figure 1-5) is used to provide increased bandwidth or backup redundancy communications between two LANs. Port aggregation or increased bandwidth occurs when both wireless links are used to simultaneously pass Ethernet traffic. Backup communication redundancy can be achieved with this configuration when one wireless bridge link is used only if the other wireless bridge link fails.

Safety Information

Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the bridge.

FCC Safety Compliance Statement

The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.

Safety Precautions

Safety Information

Warning

Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.

For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life!

1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek

professional assistance.

2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power

lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.

3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed

installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake.

4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or

tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

5. When installing your antenna, remember:

OL-5048-01

a. Do not use a metal ladder.

b. Do not work on a wet or windy day.

c. Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or

jacket.

6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable,

and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you!

Installation Guidelines

Because the bridge is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

• Install the bridge in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from

the bridge.

• Install the bridge at a height sufficient to provide clear line-of-sight signal path.

Site Surveys

Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple bridges, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and to maximize range, coverage, and network performance.

Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:

• Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio

range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio data increases.

Installation Guidelines

• Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio

range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from other unlicensed radio systems.

• Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.

• Obstructions—Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of

wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas.

Unpacking the Bridge

Follow these steps to unpack the bridge:

Step 1 Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents.

Step 2 Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save it.

Step 3 Ensure that all items listed in the “Package Contents” section are included in the shipment. If any item

Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

Bridge Bracket

The bridge bracket mounts on the back side of the bridge housing. The bracket mounts on four screw posts on the unit. The support pins on the bridge bracket must be facing the sides of the unit. These support pins are used to suspend the bridge in the notches on the mast mounting bracket until you secure the mounting bolts.

The bridge brackets must be positioned to obtain the correct antenna polarization that matches the remote antenna. The bridge housing contains an antenna polarization mark consisting of an arrow on the side of the housing. When the bridge is positioned so that the arrow is pointing up, the bridge antenna is vertically polarized. For horizontal polarization, the arrow should be pointing from left to right. All bridges must use the same antenna polarization for best operation.

Mast Bracket

The mast bracket attaches to a mast or tower support and is used to secure the bridge.The procedure for attaching the mounting bracket to the support depends on the pipe diameter, as shown in Tab l e 3- 1.

Table 3-1 Mast Bracket Attachment Methods

Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview

Aligning the Antenna Using RSSI LED Indications

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

Use the Install LED to determine when the bridge successfully associates with a remote bridge and to verify its mode of operation. After association, the other three LEDs indicate signal strength.

The startup and association sequence depends on the bridge configuration, which can be one of the following types:

• Default—The bridge attempts to associate with a root bridge for 60 seconds. If it does not associate

with a root bridge, it then attempts to associate with a non-root bridge.

• Preconfigured—The bridge attempts to associate with a remote bridge in the configured mode,

either root or non-root. Because there are no timeouts, it is easier to align the antenna.

Aligning the Antenna Using RSSI LED Indications

You can align the integrated antenna using LEDs after the bridge successfully associates with a remote bridge. In the installation mode before association to another bridge, the Install LED blinks amber. If the bridge associates to a root bridge, the Install LED turns amber. If the bridge does not associate to a root bridge in the first 60 seconds, the Install LED blinks green to indicate beacons are being transmitted and the bridge is waiting for another non-root bridge to associate.

During the first 20 seconds after association, the bridge reads the receive signal strength indictor (RSSI) levels and records the maximum level received. Once 20 seconds have elapsed, the Install LED turns amber and the Ethernet, status, and radio LEDs then display the relative RSSI levels compared to the maximum received. The RSSI LED indications are shown in Table 3-3).

Note For the signal level (dBm), a smaller number represents a stronger signal because the signal level is given

as a negative value.

Overview

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

Overview

You can double the throughput, or create a standby link, by stacking two bridges. A stacked installation consists of two bridge systems installed at the same physical location. For detailed mounting instructions refer to the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Wireless Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your bridge.

Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna BR1300 configuration and the external antenna

Choosing a Second Mounting Location

You can mount the second bridge system in the same general location as the first as long as you separate the antennas by at least TBD ft (TBD m). For example, in a flat-roof installation you can separate the bridges horizontally, roughly perpendicular to the line of signal propagation. In a tower installation, you can separate the antennas vertically. During the activation process, you verify that the interference between systems is acceptably low. Do not attempt to stack more than two bridges. Figure 4-1 identifies the interference paths with stacked bridges.

Chapter 4 Stacking Bridges

Step 1 Install the link 1 bridges (bridges A and C) normally, but leave room at each site to install the link 2

bridges (bridges B and C).

Step 2 Activate the link 1 bridges, align the antennas, and verify proper operation of the link.

Step 3 At each site location, choose a candidate location for the second bridge that is at least TBD ft (TBD m)

away from the first bridge. Separate the bridges as far as is practical from each other, keeping in mind that the second antenna must have a clear path to the remote system.

Step 4 At each site location, temporarily install the second link 2 bridge, positioning the antenna toward the

intended location of the corresponding link 2 remote antenna.

Note You can improve system isolation by using different polarizations for the two local antennas. For

Verifying Isolation - TBD

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

example, if the link 1 system has vertical polarization, assemble the link 2 system for horizontal polarization.

Verifying Isolation - TBD

Isolation measurements are valid only if the link 1 bridges are operating at maximum power. By default, the bridge operates at maximum power.

To verify signal isolation, refer to Figure 4-1 as you follow these steps:

Step 1 Ensure that the link 1 bridges are operating at full power and bridge A is configured as the root bridge.

Step 2 At Site 1, measure the isolation between bridges A and B:

a. Activate the link 2 bridge (bridge B) as a non-root bridge and let it associate to bridge A (the root

bridge).

b. Observe the bridge LEDs and verify that the RSSI signal level is (–54 dBm to - 53 dBm) or less. If

the RSSI signal exceeds –54 dBm, move the bridge farther away and repeat this procedure.

c. Slowly rotate the bridge B antenna a few degrees to the left and to the right and verify that the RSSI

signal level does not spike above -54 dBm. If the signal peaks above -54 dBm, move the bridge farther away and repeat this step.

Step 3 Go to the remote Site 2 location to measure the isolation between bridges A and D:

a. Activate the link 2 bridge (bridge D) as a non-root bridge and let bridge D associate to bridge A (the

root bridge).

b. Observe bridge D’s LEDs and align the bridge D antenna with bridge A so that the RSSI signal level is

maximized.

c. When the antennas are fully aligned, if the RSSI signal level is greater than -54 dBm, the bridge sites

are very close. Reduce the output power on all bridges at both sites (bridges A, B, C, and D) to 12 dBm.

OL-5048-01

d. If you are still unable to reduce the RSSI signal level to -54 dBm, change the polarization of the link

2 bridges (bridges B and D). For example; change the antenna polarization from vertical to horizontal.

Step 4 At Site 2, measure the isolation between bridge C and D by following these steps:

a. Turn off bridge A for this measurement.

Before You Start

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

Before You Start

Before you install the bridge, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the bridge, and obtain the following information:

• From your network system administrator:

–

A system name

–

The case-sensitive wireless service set identifier (SSID) for your radio network

–

If not connected to a DHCP server, a unique IP address for your bridge (such as 172.17.255.115)

–

If the bridge is not on the same subnet as your PC, a default gateway address and subnet mask

–

A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community name and the SNMP file attribute (if SNMP is in use)

• If you use IPSU to find or assign the bridge IP address, the MAC address from the label on the

bottom of the bridge (such as 00164625854c)

Resetting the Bridge to Default Settings

Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

Note If the bridge is configured with a static IP address, the IP address is not changed.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

To browse to the bridge’s Express Setup page, you must either obtain or assign the bridge’s IP address using one of the following methods:

• Use default address 10.0.0.1 when you connect to the bridge locally. For detailed instructions, see

the “Connecting to the Bridge Locally” section on page 5-3.

• Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address. You can find the

DHCP-assigned IP address using one of the following methods:

–

Provide your organization’s network administrator with your bridge’s Media Access Control (MAC) address. Your network administrator will query the DHCP server using the MAC address to identify the IP address. The bridge’s MAC address is on label attached to the bottom of the bridge.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

–

Use the Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned address. You can also use IPSU to assign an IP address to the bridge if it did not receive an IP address from the DHCP server. IPSU runs on most Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 9x, 2000, Me, NT, and XP.

You can download IPSU from the Software Center on Cisco.com. For additional information refer to the “Obtaining and Installing IPSU” section on page 5-10.

Connecting to the Bridge Locally

If you need to configure the bridge locally (without connecting the bridge’s power injector to a wired LAN), you can connect a PC to the power injector’s Ethernet port using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use a local connection to the Ethernet port much as you would use a serial port connection.

Note You do not need a special crossover cable to connect your PC to the bridge’s power injector; you

can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable.

If the bridge is configured with default values and not connected to a DHCP server or cannot obtain an IP address, it defaults to IP address 10.0.0.1 and becomes a mini-DHCP server. In that capacity, the bridge provides up to twenty IP addresses between 10.0.0.11 and 10.0.0.30 to an Ethernet-capable PC connected to the power injector’s Ethernet port.

The mini-DHCP server feature is disabled automatically when you assign a static IP address to the bridge.

OL-5048-01

Caution When a bridge with default settings is connected on a wired LAN and does not receive an IP address

from a DHCP server, the bridge provides an IP address to any DHCP requests it receives.

What To Do Next

After your bridge has basic settings, you need to complete your bridge’s configuration. You might need to adjust the output power level and other network and security settings.

Output Power Level

Your bridge’s output power level might require adjustment under the following conditions:

• The bridge’s output power level must be reduced when using the 15-dBi sector or the 21-dBi dish

antenna (refer to “Maximum Power Levels and Antenna Gains” section on page D-3).

• When bridges are installed less than 328 ft (100 m) apart, you should reduce their output power to

avoid overloading the bridge’s receivers.

• Your regulatory domain may limit the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) from the bridge’s

antenna (refer to “Maximum Power Levels and Antenna Gains” section on page D-3).

To configure your bridge’s output power level, refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Bridges.

What To Do Next

Protecting Your Wireless LAN

To prevent unauthorized access to your network, you must configure security settings. Because the bridge is a radio device, the bridge communicates beyond the physical boundaries of your building. Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Bridges to configure security features to protect your network from intruders:

• Unique SSIDs that are not broadcast in the bridge beacon

• WEP and additional WEP features, such as TKIP and broadcast key rotation

• Dynamic WEP and EAP authentication

Using the IP Setup Utility

IPSU enables you to find the bridge’s IP address when it has been assigned by a DHCP server. You can also use IPSU to set the bridge’s IP address and SSID if they have not been changed from the default settings.

Note IPSU can be used only on the following operating systems: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP.

The sections below explain how to install the utility, how to use it to find the bridge’s IP address, and how to use it to set the IP address and the SSID.

IOS Command Modes

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

IOS Command Modes

The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands available to you depend on which mode you are currently in. Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to obtain a list of commands available for each command mode.

When you start a session on the access point, you begin in user mode, often called user EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of the commands are available in user EXEC mode. For example, most of the user EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. The user EXEC commands are not saved when the access point reboots.

To have access to all commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode. Normally, you must enter a password to enter privileged EXEC mode. From this mode, you must enter privileged EXEC mode before you can enter the global configuration mode.

Using the configuration modes (global, interface, and line), you can make changes to the running configuration. If you save the configuration, these commands are stored and used when the access point reboots. To access the various configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode. From global configuration mode, you can enter interface configuration mode and line configuration mode.

Understanding CLI Messages

CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - First Draft

Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default values.

In this example, the access-list global configuration command entry extends beyond one line. When the cursor first reaches the end of the line, the line is shifted ten spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) shows that the line has been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line, the line is again shifted ten spaces to the left.

After you complete the entry, press Ctrl-A to check the complete syntax before pressing the Return key to execute the command. The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the line to show that the line has been scrolled to the right:

ap(config)# access-list 101 permit tcp 131.108.2.5 255.255.255.0 131.108.1$

The software assumes you have a terminal screen that is 80 columns wide. If you have a width other than that, use the terminal width privileged EXEC command to set the width of your terminal.

Use line wrapping with the command history feature to recall and modify previous complex command entries. For information about recalling previous command entries, see the “Editing Commands through

Keystrokes” section on page 7-6.

Chapter 7 Using the Command-Line Interface

Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

You can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.

To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the pipe character (|), one of the keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search for or filter out:

command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter | exclude output, the lines that contain output are not displayed, but the lines that contain Output are displayed.

This example shows how to include in the output display only lines where the expression protocol appears:

for assistance.

Power Injector

When the power injector is powered up, it sends a constant discovery tone on the dual-coax cables to the bridge. When the bridge is connected to the dual-coax cables, it returns the discovery tone to the power injector. When the power injector detects the returned discovery tone, it applies +48 VDC to the dual-coax cables to the bridge.

When power is applied to the bridge, the bridge activates the bootloader and begins the POST operations. The bridge begins to load the IOS image when the Post operations are successfully completed. Upon successfully loading the IOS image, the bridge initializes and tests the radio.

The power injector LED is shown in Figure 8-2.

Checking Power

Checking Basic Configuration Settings

Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of lost wireless connectivity. If the bridge does not associate with a remote bridge, check the following areas.

SSID

To associate, all bridges must use the same SSID. The bridge installation mode SSID is autoinstall and the normal mode default SSID is tsunami. You should verify that the SSID value shown on the Express Setup page is the same for all bridges. You should also verify that the bridges are configured for the proper network role; only one bridge can be configured as the root bridge.

Security Settings

Remote bridges attempting to authenticate to your bridge must support the same security options configured in the bridge, such as WEP, EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity Check (MIC), WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.

If a non-root bridge is unable to authenticate to your root bridge, verify that the security settings are the same as your bridge settings. For additional information, refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Bridges.

Antenna Alignment

If your non-root bridges are unable to associate to your root bridge, you should verify the basic configuration settings on all bridges before attempting to verify bridge antenna alignment (refer to

“Configuring the Bridge for the First Time” section on page 5-1). If your basic configuration settings are

correct, you can verify antenna alignment by using the Install mode RSSI LED indications. For additional information, refer to the “Aligning the Antenna Using RSSI LED Indications” section on

page 3-5.
