Hardware Description

Integrated High-Gain Antenna

The SMC2888W-S wireless bridge includes an integrated high-gain (17 dBi) flat-panel antenna for 5 GHz operation.

External Antenna Options

The SMC2888W-M Master bridge unit does not include an integrated antenna, but provides various external antenna options for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz operation. In a point-to-multipoint configuration, an external high-gain omnidirectional, sector, or high-gain panel antenna can be attached to communicate with bridges spread over a wide area.

External antennas connect to the N-type RF connectors on the wireless bridge using the provided coaxial cables.

Ethernet Port

The wireless bridge has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX 8-pin DIN port that connects to the power injector module using the included Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port connection provides power to the wireless bridge as well as a data link to the local network.

The wireless bridge appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by moving packets from the wired LAN to the remote end of the wireless bridge link.

Note: The power injector module does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. The wireless bridge unit must always be powered on by being connected to the power injector module.
