Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the outstanding wireless br idge for wireless point-to-point
bridging applications. This wireless bridge offers a low-cost alternative to installing
cable or dedicated telephone lines. You can connect two or more buildings quickly
and easily with no expensive, time-consuming cable installation and no monthly
service fees (unlike leased 56K, ISDN or T1 lines). The wireless bridges establish
radio links between two or more networks up to 25 km and transmit data between
buildings faster than T1 lines allowing users to gain Internet access, email and
network resources located in different buildings easily and efficiently.
This wireless bridge radio operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and uses
advanced Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology to provide high-speed and
secure connectivity between multiple locations. This wireless bridge uses a
browser-base management system. The system settings are on web pages. Before you
install and use this product, please read this manual carefully for fully functions of
this product.

2.2 Procedure of Hardware Installation
Figure 2-6
1. Decide how to place Bridge
Because this product is a radio device works in the 2.4 GHz frequency
range. For optimum utilization, installing this product away from microwave
ovens or other devices, operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, which can
cause signal interference. Otherwise, install this product’s antenna in an area
where the trees, buildings and large steel structures such as file cabinet and
bookshelves do not obstruct the signal to and from the antenna. In conclusion,
the antenna should be located in the higher direct line-of-sight space.
2. Lightning Protection
Radio transmitters, receivers and RF cables require protection when
attacked by lightning strikes.
The surge protectors contain fast response gas filled arrestors to provide
low let through voltage for fast rise time transients. The device is configured
to minimize circuit capacitance and the performance can be assured up to
2GHz. Standard models provide protection for receivers and transmitters up to
a 1KW power l evel.
Installing this device in outdoor may be subject to lightning strikes. To
properly protect your equipment, you should install the lightning arrestor to
9
prevent an electrical surge from traveling through the antenna cable and into
the building. Lightning protection for a building is more forgiving than
protection of electrical devices. A building can withstand up to 100,000 volts,
but electrical equipment may be damaged by just a few volts.
Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the Lightning Protector is
necessary to protect the installation from lightning and the build-up of static
electricity.
The ground terminal is located on the lightning protector that attached with
this unit. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the Ground terminal and
the other end to a good ground connection.
The package content contains a lightning arrestor, and should be installed
and grounded at the point where the cable enters the antenna.
3. Connect the Antenna and Lightning Protector
The bridge connects to a Lightning Protector directly and the Lightning
Protector connects to the outdoor antenna with a standard N(Mu)-N(Mu) type
low-loss cable. A longer cable may decrease the distance achievable between
antennas.
The picture of lightning protector is shown in Figure 2-7.
4. Antenna Mast Requirements
To accommodate the outdoor antennas, the antenna mast must satisfy the
following requirements:
Ÿ The construction of the mast must be of a sturdy, weatherproof and no
corrosive material like for example galvanized or stainless steel construction
pipe.
Ÿ Typical diameter of the mast should be between 35 mm (1.4 in.) and 41 mm
(1.625 in.). Subject to the type of antenna that you intend to install other
diameters may be possible as well.
Ÿ The height of the antenna mast must be sufficient to allow the antenna to be
installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) above the peak of roof. If the roof is metal,
then the height of the antenna should be a minimum of 3 m (10 ft) above the
roof.
Ÿ The mast or wall-bracket must be free from any substance that may prevent
a good electrical connection with the antenna; for example, paint.
5. Connecting the Ground Wire
Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the Lightning Protector is
necessary to protect the installation from lightning and the build-up of static
electricity.
The Ground terminal is located on the lightning protector that attached
with this unit as shown in Figure 2-7. Connect one end of the grounding cable
to the Ground terminal and the other end to a good gro und connection.

6. Connect the Ethernet and Power Cable
Ÿ Connect the power code to the DC-IN port on the rear panel of the
DC-Injector.
Ÿ Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port (To LAN) on the rear
panel of the DC-Injector. Use the straight cable to connect to the
HUB/SWITCHA or use the crossed cable to connect to the PC’s
Network Interface Card (NIC).
Ÿ Connect an Ethernet cable to the other RJ-45 port (To Bridge) on the
rear panel of the DC -Injector and connect the other end to the LAN1
(PoE) port on the side of DC-Converter.

Ÿ Connect DC-Converter and Bridge Module Board on each LAN1 port
with a RJ-45 Cable.
Ÿ Connect the N-Type(Fu) to SMA(Mu) Cable to the SMA port (Fu)
which locates in the side panel of the Bridge Module Board.
