Testing Basic Link Operation, Mount the Unit | 3Com 3CRWEASYA73

TESTING BASIC LINK OPERATION

Set up the units over a very short range (15 to 25 feet), either outdoors or indoors. Connect the units as indicated in this chapter and be sure to perform all the basic configuration tasks outlined in Chapter 4, “Initial Configuration.” When you are satisfied that the links are operating correctly, proceed to mount the units in their intended locations.

MOUNT THE UNIT

The bridge can be mounted on the following types of surfaces:

Pole

Wall

CAUTION: The bridge is intended for outdoor use only. Do not install the bridge ! indoors.

USING THE POLE-MOUNTING BRACKET

Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or tube using the mounting bracket:

1 Place the V-shaped part of the bracket around the pole and tighten the securing nuts just enough to hold the bracket to the pole. (The bracket may need to be rotated around the pole during the antenna alignment process.)

Attach V-shaped parts to pole with provided nuts and bolts
