5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time

This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on your bridge for the first time. The contents of this chapter are similar to the instructions in the quick start guide that shipped with your bridge. You can configure all the settings described in this chapter using the command-line interface (CLI), but it might be simplest to browse to the bridge’s web-browser interface to complete the initial configuration and then use the CLI to enter additional settings for a more detailed configuration.

This chapter contains these sections:

• Before You Start, page 7

• Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address, page 8

• Connecting to the Bridge Locally, page 9

• Assigning Basic Settings, page 10

• What To Do Next, page 14

• Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI, page 15

• Using a Telnet Session to Access the CLI, page 15

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

–

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)

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 defa the “Connecting to the Bridge Locally” section on page 9.

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

–

ult address 10.0.0.1 when you connect to the bridge locally. For detailed instructions, see

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.

THIRD FCC DRAFT (CISCO CONFIDENTIAL)

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 defaul 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 bridge.

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.

Follow these steps to connect to the bridge locally:

Step 1 Make sure that the PC you intend to use is configured to obtain an IP address automatically,

or manually assign it an IP address from 10.0.0.31 to 10.0.0.40. Connect your PC to the power injector using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use either a crossover cable or a straight-through cable.

Note When you connect your PC to the bridge’s power injector or reconnect your PC to the wired

LAN, you might need to release and renew the IP address on the PC. On most PCs, you can perform a release and renew by rebooting your PC or by entering ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew commands in a command prompt window. Consult your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions.

Bridge Brackets

The two bridge brackets mount on the back side of the bridge housing. Each bracket mounts on two screw posts on opposite ends of the unit. The support pin on the bridge bracket must be facing the side 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 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.

larger masts, you must supply the U-bolts to attach the bridge.

Bridge LEDs

When you power up the bridge for the first time, it starts in a special installation mode. The LEDs indicate the startup status, operating mode, association status, and received signal strength. This information simplifies the process of activating the link and positioning the antenna from the bridge mounting location.

The LEDs are mounted on the back of the ho

Aligning the Antenna Using 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 continuous 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. After association, the Install LED turns into continuous green and the Ethernet, status, and radio LEDs then display signal strength as shown in Ta b l e 4).

on and the rest are blinking as fast as possible.

Aligning the Antenna Using the RSSI Voltage

The RSSI port produces a DC voltage that is proportional to the received signal level. The RSSI voltage is available whenever a signal is present, regardless of the bridge mode (installation or normal), association status, or pre configuration role setting. In Install mode, the RSSI voltage provides an

THIRD FCC DRAFT (CISCO CONFIDENTIAL)

instantaneous reading as you move the antenna. In Normal mode, the RSSI reading has a delay, so you must stop moving the antenna and wait before taking your reading. The RSSI port is a female BNC connector on the bridge housing (see Figure 5).

The RSSI voltage increases linearly with signal level as shown in Table 5.

Note A larger RSSI voltage reading indicates a stronger signal.

Power Injector LEDs

The power injector contains three LEDs to provide status information on the wired Ethernet link, the bridge Ethernet link, and the bridge status. 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 bootloa 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 LEDs are shown in Figure 8.

If the dual-coax cable is connected properly and not defective, contact technical support for assistance.

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.

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 1). If your basic configuration settings are

THIRD FCC DRAFT (CISCO CONFIDENTIAL)

correct, you can verify antenna alignment by using the RSSI port. The RSSI port can be used even when the bridges are not associated. For additional information, refer to the “Aligning the Antenna Using the RSSI Voltage” section on page 6.

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

antenna must be professionally installed.

For detailed alignment instructions, refer to the Ci
