However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that
does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.
The wireless bridge does not have a power switch. It is powered on when its
Ethernet port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector
module is connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED
indicator that turns on when AC power is applied.
The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between
100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
Warning: The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount the
power injector outside with the wireless bridge unit.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) BNC Connector
The RSSI connector provides an output voltage that is proportional to the received
radio signal strength. A DC voltmeter can be connected the this port to assist in
aligning the antennas at both ends of a wireless bridge link. For more information,
see “Align Antennas” on page 3-6.
Grounding Point
Even though the wireless bridge includes its own built-in lightning protection, it is
important that the unit is properly connected to ground. A grounding screw is
provided for attaching a ground wire to the unit.
Wall- and Pole-Mounting Bracket Kits
The wireless bridge includes bracket kits that can be used to mount the bridge to a
wall, pole, radio mast, or part of a tower structure.
