Each of these installations requires a different approach. This document provides a mounting overview. For detailed mounting instructions, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your bridge.
Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview Bridge LEDs Bridge Brackets The two bridge brackets mount on the back side of the bridge housing. Each bracket mounts on two screw posts on opposite ends of the unit. The support pin on the bridge bracket must be facing the side of the unit. These support pins are used to suspend the bridge in the notches on the mast mounting bracket until you secure the mounting bolts.
Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview Bridge LEDs Figure 3-1 LED and Connector Locations 88818 4 3 1 2 1 Ethernet LED 3 Radio LED 2 Status LED 4 Install LED When the bridge is initially powered-up, installation mode is activated and the bridge attempts to associate to a root bridge for 60 seconds. If it is unable to associate with a root bridge, it automatically assumes the root bridge role.
Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview Aligning the Antenna Using LED Indications Use the Install LED to determine when the bridge successfully associates with a remote bridge and to verify its mode of operation. After association, the other three LEDs indicate signal strength (see Table 3-3). The startup and association sequence depends on the bridge configuration, which can be one of the following types: • Default—The bridge attempts to associate with a root bridge for 60 seconds.
Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview Aligning the Antenna Using the RSSI Voltage When using LEDs to maximize the signal, adjust the antenna until as many LEDs as possible are turned on and the rest are blinking as fast as possible. Aligning the Antenna Using the RSSI Voltage The RSSI port produces a DC voltage that is proportional to the received signal level.
C H A P T E R 4 Stacking Bridges This chapter describes how to install stacked bridges for increased bandwidth and how to verify their isolation. This chapter contains the following topics: • Overview, page 4-2 • Choosing a Second Mounting Location, page 4-2 • Installing the Stacked Bridges, page 4-2 • Verifying Isolation, page 4-3 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide.
Chapter 4 Stacking Bridges Overview Overview You can double the throughput, or create a standby link, by stacking two bridges. A stacked installation consists of two bridge systems installed at the same physical location. For detailed mounting instructions refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your bridge.
Chapter 4 Stacking Bridges Verifying Isolation Step 4 At each site location, temporarily install the second link 2 bridge, positioning the antenna toward the intended location of the corresponding link 2 remote antenna. Note You can improve system isolation by using different polarizations for the two local antennas. For example, if the link 1 system has vertical polarization, assemble the link 2 system for horizontal polarization.
Chapter 4 Stacking Bridges Verifying Isolation d. Step 5 Slowly rotate the antenna of bridge D a few degrees to the left and to the right and verify that the RSSI level does not rapidly spike above 1.95 V. If the voltage peaks above 1.95 V, move the bridge farther away and repeat this step. After you verify the isolation of the second bridge link, you must properly set the root and non-root bridge settings for both links, align the link 2 bridge antennas, and verify proper link 2 operation.
C H A P T E R 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on your bridge for the first time. The contents of this chapter are similar to the instructions in the quick start guide that shipped with your bridge.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Before You Start Before You Start Before you install the bridge, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the bridge, and obtain the following information: • From your network system administrator: – A system name – The case-sensitive wireless service set identifier (SSID) for your radio network – If not connected to a DHCP server, a unique IP address for your bridge (such as 172.17.255.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address Note If the bridge is configured with a static IP address, the IP address is not changed. Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address To browse to the bridge’s Express Setup page, you must either obtain or assign the bridge’s IP address using one of the following methods: • Use default address 10.0.0.1 when you connect to the bridge locally.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Assigning Basic Settings Follow these steps to connect to the bridge locally: Step 1 Make sure that the PC you intend to use is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, or manually assign it an IP address from 10.0.0.31 to 10.0.0.40. Connect your PC to the power injector using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use either a crossover cable or a straight-through cable.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Assigning Basic Settings Figure 5-1 Step 5 Summary Status Page Click Express Setup. The Express Setup screen appears. Figure 5-2 shows the Express Setup page. Figure 5-2 Express Setup Page Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Assigning Basic Settings Step 6 Enter the configuration settings you obtained from your system administrator. The configurable settings include: • System Name—The system name, while not an essential setting, helps identify the bridge on your network. The system name appears in the titles of the management system pages. • Configuration Server Protocol—Click on the button that matches the network’s method of IP address assignment.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Assigning Basic Settings • Role in Radio Network—Click on the check box and button that describes the role of the bridge on your network. – Install Mode—Activates the bridge install and alignment mode. Specifies that the bridge automatically determines the network role. If the bridge is able to associate to another root bridge within 60 seconds, the bridge assumes a non-root bridge role.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time What To Do Next Default Settings on the Express Setup Page Table 5-1 lists the default settings for the settings on the Express Setup page. Table 5-1 Default Settings on the Express Setup Page Setting Default System Name Bridge Configuration Server Protocol DHCP IP Address Assigned by DHCP (default setting); if DHCP is disabled, the default setting is 10.0.0.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Using the IP Setup Utility Protecting Your Wireless LAN To prevent unauthorized access to your network, you must configure security settings. Because the bridge is a radio device, the bridge communicates beyond the physical boundaries of your building.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Using the IP Setup Utility Using IPSU to Find the Bridge’s IP Address If your bridge receives an IP address from a DHCP server, you can use IPSU to find its IP address. Because IPSU sends a reverse-ARP request based on the bridge MAC address, you must run IPSU from a computer on the same subnet as the bridge. Follow these steps to find the bridge’s IP address: Step 1 Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start the utility.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Using the IP Setup Utility Using IPSU to Set the Bridge’s IP Address and SSID You can use IPSU to change the default IP address (10.0.0.1) of the bridge. You can also set the bridge’s SSID at the same time. Note The computer you use to assign an IP address to the bridge must have an IP address in the same subnet as the bridge (10.0.0.x). Note IPSU can change the bridge’s IP address and SSID only from their default settings.
Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI Step 6 Click Set Parameters to change the bridge’s IP address and SSID settings. Step 7 Click Exit to exit IPSU. Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI When you connect the bridge to the wired LAN, the bridge links to the network using a bridge virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the bridge’s Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI.
C H A P T E R 6 Troubleshooting This chapter provides troubleshooting procedures for basic problems with the bridge. For the most up-to-date, detailed troubleshooting information, refer to the Cisco TAC website at the following URL (select Hardware Support > Wireless Devices): http://www.cisco.
