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.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

Overview
The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge (hereafter called the bridge) is a wireless device designed for building-to-building wireless connectivity. Operating in the 5.8-GHz UNII 3 band (5725 to 5825 MHz), derived from the 802.11a standard, the bridge delivers 6 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 both point-to-point and multipoint configurations.
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).

Power
Key Features
The bridge is available in two output power versions to support international regulatory regions:
Regular Power—Supports 24, 23, 22, 21, 18, 15, 12 dBm output power settings. Available in the
integrated antenna and external antenna bridge configurations.
Low Power—Supports 16, 13, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 4 dBm output power settings. Available only in the
integrated antenna bridge configuration for use in international regulatory regions.
The bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR (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. 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 after detecting the presence of the bridge, injects the DC voltage into the dual-coax cables to power the bridge.
Note The power injector and the power module should not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment.
External Antenna
The bridge is available with an N-type RF connector on the front of the unit (see Figure 1-1) for an external 5.8-GHz antenna. The supported external antennas connect to the bridge antenna connector using the antenna’s 4.9-ft (1.5-m) coax cable.
9-dBi omnidirectional external antenna with vertical polarization
9.5-dBi sector external antenna
28-dBi dish external antenna
Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna bridge configuration and the external antenna must
be professionally installed.
Note Some international regulatory regions may restrict the use of external antennas.

Key Features
Integrated Antenna
The bridge is available with an integrated 22.5-dBi or 20-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. The bridge must be physically rotated 90 degrees to obtain either horizontal or vertical polarization. An arrow indicating polarization is designed into the bridge housing to indicate the polarization direction.
Note The 20-dBi integrated is available only on the low power bridge version for Korea.
Note Some international regulatory regions may restrict the integrated antenna bridge configuration.
Ethernet Ports
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 1-2.
Chapter 1 Overview
Tip You can connect the dual-coax cable connectors to either of the bridge’s power injector dual-coax ports.
The bridge senses the Ethernet signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.
Metal Enclosure
The bridge uses a metal enclosure that supports outdoor operating environments and supports an industrial temperature operating range (refer to “Bridge Specifications” section on page 1-8).

The bridge LEDs are shown in Figure 1-2.
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.

Network Configuration Examples
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 6-2.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator Port
The bridge supports a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) port for use in antenna alignment. The RSSI port produces a DC voltage proportional to the strength of the received radio signal. The highest voltage indicates the best antenna alignment position. The RSSI port is a female BNC connector located on the bottom of the bridge housing (see Figure 1-2).
Note The RSSI port requires the use of a voltmeter and a cable with a male BNC connector.
Network Configuration Examples
Chapter 1 Overview
This section describes the bridge’s role in three 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 1-3). The bridge connected to the main LAN network is classified as a root bridge and the other bridge is classified as a repeater bridge.

Chapter 1 Overview
Port Aggregation or Redundancy Configuration
The port aggregation or redundancy configuration (Figure 1-4) 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
Warning
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
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
Warning
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
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:
a. Do not use a metal ladder.
b. Do not work on a wet or windy day.

Safety Information
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!
7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, don’t touch it or try to
remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.
If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately.
