The FAQs section attempts to answer the most commonly asked questions about the
Outdoor Bridge.
Question Answer
How can I manage the
bridge? The bridge does not have a console port. You may
easily configure and manage the bridge remotely via its
standard RJ-45 Ethernet network interface. Configure
the bridge using the method described in this manual.
Can wireless clients
associate with the
bridge? No, the bridge is a transparent bridge, NOT an access
point.
At what radio frequency
does a bridge
communicate? In the US, wireless LAN radios transmit and receive on
one of 11 channels in the 2.4-GHz frequency band. This
is a public frequency, and is unlicensed by the FCC.
How do I secure the data
crossing a bridge's radio
link? Enable Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP) to encrypt
the payload of packets sent across a radio link.
What is the typical range
for a bridge? The typical range depends on many factors, including
the following: data rate (bandwidth) desired, antenna
type, antenna cable length, and device receiving the
transmission. In an outdoor antenna installation, range
can be up to 1.5 km or more.
What is the speed of the
bridge's Ethernet port? The bridge's Ethernet port supports 10 Mbps over a
10Base-T RJ-45 connector (half-duplex only).
What are possible
sources of interference
for the radio frequency
link of the bridge? Interference can come from a number of sources,
including 2.4-GHz cordless phones, improperly
shielded microwave ovens, and wireless equipment
manufactured by other companies. Police radar,
electrical motors, and moving metal parts of machinery
can cause interference too.
