direction. The unit should be mounted with the antenna sockets facing upwards and
both console and POE ports pointing downwards.
Radio Interference
The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning.
Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent
channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum
analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a
channel frequencies. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from
another signal.
If radio interference is still a problem with your wireless bridge link, changing the
antenna polarization direction may improve the situation.
Weather Conditions
When planning wireless bridge links, you must take into account any extreme
weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors:
•
Temperature
— The wireless bridge is tested for normal operation in temperatures
from -33°C to 55°C. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the
unit to fail.
•
Wind Velocity
— The wireless bridge can operate in winds up to 90 MPH and
survive higher wind speeds up to 125 MPH. You must consider the known
maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting
structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force.
•
Lightning
— The wireless bridge includes its own built-in lightning protection.
However, you should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and cables
