Mounting the Wireless Bridge

Mounting the Wireless Bridge

Mounting a wireless bridge unit is optional. If desired, you can simply leave the unit standing freely on a table surface. Whether to mount the unit on a wall or ceiling will usually depend on the length of the cable extending from the bridge unit to the antenna.

1Detach all cables from the wireless bridge so that you can safely and easily mount the unit.

2Remove the bottom mounting plate, as shown in the following figure.

3Install the bottom mounting plate where desired with the supplied mounting hardware.

4Place the wireless bridge on the mounting plate and snap it into place. Ensure that the bridge is secure.

Do not reattach network and power cables until after you have installed and connected the antenna, as described in the next section.

Mounting the Antenna

Each 3Com Wireless Building-to-Building Bridge requires an appropriate antenna:

An omnidirectional antenna for point-to-multipoint communications or

A flat-panel antenna for point-to-point communications

Neither antenna is supplied with your wireless bridge: you must obtain the antenna as a separate 3Com accessory. Refer to the user guide for more information on antenna selection and positioning.
