Cisco Cisco Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Guía De Información
For a 1400 Series Wireless Bridge which does not have a console port, if you need to
configure the bridge locally (without connecting the bridge to a wired LAN), you can connect
a PC to the Ethernet port on the long−reach power injector using a Category 5 Ethernet cable.
You can use a local connection to the power injector's Ethernet port much as you would use a
serial port connection. You do not need a special crossover cable to connect your PC to the
power injector. You can use either a straight−through cable or a crossover cable.

Q. Can any of the Cisco wireless products perform a wireless bridge at
full duplex?
full duplex?
A. No. The 802.11 standard specifies a Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance
(CSMA/CA) transmit−recieve environment. Therefore, all 802.11 are half−duplex/simplex in
nature.

Q. Why do two bridges not communicate automatically, right out of the
box?
box?
A. For two bridges to communicate with each other, one of the bridges should be in root
mode and the other bridge must be in non−root mode.
mode and the other bridge must be in non−root mode.
The default setting of a bridge is root. Therefore, two bridges that are in root mode cannot
talk to each other.

Q. How do I set the IP address on a wireless bridge?
A. You can use these methods in order to assign an IP address to the wireless bridge.
Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address.
♦
Assign a static IP address using the bridge console port (if the bridge comes with a
console port).

When you connect a 1300 Series Access Point (AP)/Bridge with a default configuration to
your LAN, the AP/bridge attempts to receive an IP address from the DHCP server. If no
DHCP server is found, the AP/bridge continues to request a DHCP address. In order to
eliminate this condition, you must connect to the AP/bridge using its console port and
configure a static IP address.
