Cisco Cisco Aironet 1400 Wireless Bridge Guía De Instalación

The purpose of the lab bring-up process is to familiarize you with the bridge install mode operating 
procedures and the bridge configuration screens. After completing the bring-up procedures, you can 
optionally preconfigure your bridge settings before installing the bridges in their final locations.

In this procedure, you will temporally mount each bridge on a tripod, power it up, place it in Install 
mode, and view the main configuration screens. 

Antenna alignment is not part of the lab bring-up procedures because of the large separation required 
between bridges using high gain antennas. In a lab environment, the close proximity of the two bridges 
causes severe receiver overloading, which might damage your bridges. 

You will need the following:

Bridge units with assembled mounting hardware (housing and mounting brackets). For assembly 
information, refer to the 

Power injector, power module, and power cord 

Dual-coax cable for your bridge

Tripod or other suitable equipment to mount your bridges

A room sufficient to allow 6 ft (1.8 m) minimum distance to your bridge

A PC with an Internet browser

A standard Cat 5 Ethernet cable

You will perform the following operations for each of your bridges:

Mount your bridge on a tripod, position the bridge, and connect cables to the bridge 

Set each bridge to factory defaults

Initially configure the bridge

Finalizing the bridge configuration

Follow these steps to mount and position your bridge:

Mount the bridge on a tripod or other suitable equipment.

If you are using external antenna bridge units, mount the bridge antenna on the tripod.

If you are using a directional antenna or an integrated antenna bridge unit, manually position the bridge 
antenna so that it points up towards the ceiling. 

Place the bridge tripod about 6 ft (1.8 m) from your work bench.
