Mounting the Access Point/Bridge

Mounting the Access Point/Bridge

Typically, the access point/bridge is installed on a rooftop, mast, tower, wall, or a suitable flat surface. Each of these installations requires a different approach. This document provides a mounting overview. For detailed mounting instructions, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your unit.

The access point/bridge is available in two configurations:

•Integrated antenna access point/bridge (with 13-dBi)

•External antenna access point/bridge (with two antenna connectors for use with a single antenna or dual diversity antennas)

Note Personnel installing the bridge must understand wireless bridging techniques, antenna alignment and adjustment, and grounding methods.

Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna access point/bridge unit and the external antenna must be professionally installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.

The following warning applies to outdoor and vehicle installations:

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
