6 Physical Installation
Prepare the Required Hardware and Tools
You must supply the following tools and equipment:
■ A notebook or desktop computer running Windows XP/2000/Vista and installed with
one Ethernet card
■ 6mm flathead screwdriver
■ 6mm Phillips screwdriver
■ 10mm ratchet wrench
■ 3mm Phillips screwdriver (if you will be using DC power)
■ Electric drill with 8mm drill bit (if mounting on a flat surface)
Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and
Orientation
The location and orientation that you choose for the Wireless Bridge play a critical role in
the performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends
installing Wireless Bridges away from obstructions and sources of interference and
ensuring that the Wireless Bridges are in direct line of sight of one another.
NOTE: Ruckus Wireless recommends installing the Root bridge on the network side of
the bridged link and the Non-Root bridge on the remote side.
