DISCONNECTING THE BRIDGE

CAUTION: Disconnecting the bridge ends the network association. To avoid possible data loss, exit all networking applications on connected devices before you disconnect the bridge.

If you are using the 3Com power supply, unplug it from the power source. Then unplug the Ethernet cable from the power supply and the second Ethernet cable from the bridge.

If the bridge is connected directly to a power-over-Ethernet device, unplug the bridge Ethernet cable from the device.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISCONNECT under extreme weather conditions, especially during electrical storms.

UNINSTALLING SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION

If you want to uninstall the 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN software and documentation, you can either use the standard operating system procedure for removing programs or use the following shortcut procedure:

1From the Windows Start menu, select Start/Programs/3Com Wireless/Wireless Building-to-Building Bridge/Uninstall.

2When prompted to confirm, click OK.

UPGRADING BRIDGE FIRMWARE

Firmware is the software that is installed on the bridge at the factory. Some problems can be solved by installing a new version of the firmware (upgrading firmware).

For details on how to download a firmware update from the 3Com customer support Web site and install it on your bridge, see “Upgrading the System” on page 34.
