– Fast and affordable outdoor wireless bridges
Before you mount the AI108-4958-N, AI108-4958-1, or AI108-SU
to a fixed location, consider the following requirements to
determine the optimal placement:
The RF cable between the AI108-4958-N, AI108-4958-1, or AI108-SU and
the antenna should be as short as possible without putting too much
stress on the connectors at the bridge and antenna. The RF cable
attenuates (reduces) the radio signal and will reduce the effective range
of your wireless link.
The cable length from the Ethernet network port to the AI108-4958-N,
AI108-4958-1, or AI108-SU must not exceed 328 ft (100 meters).
Placement must allow for easy access to disconnect the bridge unit from
the AC power outlet if necessary.
Follow these steps to install the AI108-4958-N, AI108-4958-1, or AI108-
SU indoor bridge:
1. Connect the Ethernet cable
–
The AI108-4 and AI108-N should be
connected to a 10/100Mbps Ethernet network through a switch or
router. Alternatively, a computer can be directly connected to the
bridge using an Ethernet cross-over cable. Connect to the RJ-45
connector socket on the back panel of the bridge with 5 UTP
Ethernet cable and an RJ-45 connector.
2. Connect the power adapter cable to the 5V, 2A DC power socket on
the rear panel, and plug the power adapter into the wall outlet.
Warning
: Use only the power adapter supplied with the bridge in
order to prevent damage and void warranty.
3. Refer to the section above on LED status indicators to verify the
unit is powered on and functioning properly.
4. Connect the optional
lightning arrestor and
jumper cable assembly
