Fortress Wireless Access Bridge: Installation

CAUTION:
The
FCC requires co-
located radio antennas
to be at least 7.9" apart.
The Bridge’s antenna
connectors are only 5"
apart.
Avoid directly
mounting two antennas to
the Bridge’s rear-panel
connectors.
1
Position the Bridge so that it operates only within its safe
temperature range (14º–122º F/
–
10º–50º C).
2
Connect a standard 802.11a/b/g-capable antenna with an
N-type male connector to antenna port 1 (
ANT1
).
3
Connect an antenna cable with an N-type male connector
between antenna port 2 (
ANT2
) and a high-gain
omnidirectional or directional antenna.
4
Connect the Bridge to at least one power source:
Connect the external +48V DC power supply that came
with the Bridge to the front-panel
+48V DC
power inlet
and plug the power supply into a properly rated AC
power outlet with the cord provided.
NOTE:
When both
power supplies
are connected, the exter-
nal +48V power supply
is automatically selected
as the Bridge’s primary
power source.
and/or
Connect the Bridge’s
WAN
port to an external 802.3af
PSE/PoE (Power Sourcing Equipment/Power over
Ethernet) source. (If the
WAN
port will connect the
Bridge to a satellite link or a DSL or cable modem,
ensure the PSE/PoE source is in line with the
necessary network device.)
5
Connect up to eight wired LAN devices to the RJ-45
Ethernet ports (numbered
1-8
).
6
If the
WAN
port will connect the Bridge to a satellite link or a
DSL or cable modem (and it was not connected in Step 4),
connect the 10/100
WAN
Ethernet port to the necessary
network device.
7
Verify that all link/activity and power LEDs illuminate for all
connected ports.

Configuring the Bridge
for Indoor Operation
Configuration procedures for an indoor Bridge are no different
from outdoor Bridge preconfiguration procedures. Follow steps
1 through 12, Section 2.4.2.
To access the Bridge GUI after initial configuration, use a new
instance of your browser and the IP address you set in Step 3
of Section 2.4.2.
