As the output informs you, you must reboot the Bridges in the

network for the new configuration to take effect.

SAC commands are valid only in Gateway mode (refer to

Section 6.1.1 for more detail).

6.8.3 Adding and Deleting Network Bridges with SAC

6.8.3.1 Adding a New SAC Network Bridge

Once a network has been configured through SAC, you can

use the SAC function to add a new Fortress Bridge to the

network.

1Position the new Bridge so that it operates only within its

safe temperature range (14º–122º F/–10º–50º C).

2Connect an 802.11a-capable antenna to antenna port 2

(ANT2) of the new Bridge.

3Connect the WAN port of the new Bridge to the WAN port of

any node in the SAC network.

4Connect the new Bridge’s external +48V DC power supply

to its front-panel +48V DC power inlet, and plug the power

supply into a properly rated AC power outlet with the cord

provided.

NOTE: An RJ-45-

to-DB9 adapter—

included with each

Bridge—is required to

connect the Bridge’s se-

rial Console port to a

DB9 terminal connec-

tion. Pin outs for these

adapters are given in

Table7.1 on page116.

5Connect the new Bridge’s Console port directly to the serial

terminal of the computer you will use to preconfigure the

new Bridge.

6Open a terminal application on the computer connected to

the new Bridge’s Console port and (using the settings given

in Section 6.1.2) open a session with the new Bridge.

7Log in to the CLI of the new Bridge, using

sysadm

as both

the login ID and password.

8Preconfigure the new Bridge to use the same Access ID

and encryption algorithm already in effect on the Fortress

Bridge network with these commands:

[GW]>

set accessid

<16digithexid>

[GW]>

set crypto [-e aes128|aes192|aes256][-t

<hrs>

]

9Use show sac to determine—and then make a note of—the

serial number of the new Bridge:
