Fortress Wireless Access Bridge: Installation

16

NOTE:

The Bridge

CLI provides ac-

cess to some configu-
ration settings that
cannot be accessed
from the Bridge GUI.

13

After the Bridge reboots, change the CLI password
(according to the instructions in Section 6.4.4.2) and
configure unique SSIDs for the Bridge (according to the
instructions in Section 3.3).

If you want to use the received signal strength indicator
(RSSI) to aim the antenna of a non-root Bridge, you may
want to enable it now (refer to Section 3.3.2.7).

14

Disconnect the LAN, WAN and antenna ports in advance of
weatherizing and mast-mounting the Bridge.

CAUTION:

Do not

assemble the con-

nector boot without first
referring to these in-
structions. Several as-
sembly steps are
irreversible.

Incorrectly

assembled connector
boots are unusable

,

and cannot be disassem-
bled.

2.4.3

Weatherizing the Bridge

All front-panel ports must be disconnected before you can
install the Weatherizing Kit.

To install the Weatherizing Kit:

1

Install the RJ-45 connector boot assembly on the end of the
cable that you will be plugging into the Fortress Bridge’s
WAN port, as shown in Figure 2.2:

™

If the RJ-45 connector is equipped with a molded
plastic boot, remove it from the connector. (Some
Ethernet cable connectors have a molded plastic outer
casing that is not designed for removal. This style of
connector is incompatible with the connector boot.)
