What To Do Next

After your bridge has basic settings, you need to complete your bridge’s configuration. You might need to adjust the output power level and other network and security settings.

Output Power Level

Your bridge’s output power level might require adjustment under the following conditions:

The bridge’s output power level must be reduced when using an external dish antenna or when using the integrated antenna in a multipoint configuration (refer to “Channels and Maximum Power Levels” section on page C-1).

When bridges are installed less than 328 ft (100 m) apart, you should reduce their output power to avoid overloading the bridge’s receivers.

To configure your bridge’s output power level, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Software Configuration Guide.
