Determining the Location for the Bridge
Before you begin installation and configuration, determine
where you want to put the Wireless Bridge. Because the
Bridge is a radio device, you need to make decisions
regarding the location of the Bridge and its antenna to
provide optimum radio range and performance. You can use
the Bridge in both indoor and outdoor Radio network
environments.
Indoor locations
The radio ranges for indoor locations depend on the
following:
Antenna type and placement: To maximize a radio’s range
indoors, you should try to place the Bridge’s antenna as high
