External antennas connect to the N-type RF connectors on the wireless bridge 
using the optional RF coaxial cables.

Using the external antennas in a point-to-multipoint deployment, the maximum 
range for bridge links are:

802.11b,g: 2.2 km

802.11a: 3 km

The wireless bridge has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX 8-pin DIN port that connects 
to the power injector module using the included Ethernet cable. The Ethernet 
port connection provides power to the wireless bridge as well as a data link to the 
local network.

The wireless bridge appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging 
function by moving packets from the wired LAN to the remote end of the wireless 
bridge link.

The wireless bridge receives power through its network cable connection using 
power-over-Ethernet technology. A power injector module is included in the 
wireless bridge package and provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for 
connecting to the wireless bridge (Output), and the other for connecting to a 
local LAN switch (Input).

The Input port uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration. You 
can therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most
