Assembling Bridge 4.0
ToassembleBridge4.0:
1. UnpackallthecomponentslistedinVerifyingthePackingList.
2. InstalltheBridgechassisintheselectedweather‐prooflocation.
a. MasterBridgesarelocatedasdescribedintheSilverSpringNetworksInfrastructure
HardwareGuide.
b. AremoteBridgeistypicallylocatedwithintheRTUenclosuretowhichitwillbe
attached.
3.
ConnectanantennatotheSMAfemaleconnector.
a. IfyouareconnectingtheBridgetotheRTU’santenna,makethatconnection.
