Installation Summary

During the installation of the bridge, you will perform the following operations:

Connect a user-supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable from your wired LAN network to the power injector.

Connect the dual-coax Ethernet cables between the power injector and the grounding block.

Tip You can connect the dual-coax cable connectors to either of the grounding block connectors or the power injector’s dual-coax ports. The bridge senses the Ethernet signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.

Note You should securely tighten the cable connectors (15 to 20 inch-pounds) using a small wrench.

Connect a ground wire to the grounding block.

Mount the bridge to the external tower or mast. For additional information, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your bridge.

Connect a ground wire to the bridge (use the bridge ground lug).

Connect the dual-coax Ethernet cables to the grounding block and to the bridge.

Tip You can connect the dual-coax cable connectors to either of the grounding block connectors or the bridge’s dual-coax ports. The bridge senses the Ethernet signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.

Note You should securely tighten the cable connectors (15 to 20 inch-pounds) using a small wrench.

Connect the AC power cord to the 48-VDC power module.
