1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the I-O Wireless LAN to LAN Bridge. This manual will
assist you with the installation and use of the bridge.
1.1 Product Introduction
A wireless LAN to LAN bridge is used to create either a point-to-point or a point-
to-multipoint link between two or more local area networks.
Due to the complexity of installing a wireless bridge, always make sure a
professional installs the bridge link. A professional installer not only provides you
with an optimized link; he also supplies you with a professional mechanical
installation.
The professional installer covers the following areas:
•
Network link installation
•
Mechanical installation
•
Weather resistant installation
•
Lightning proof installation
By covering all these areas the installer will provide you with a link that has the
highest possible uptime. He will also take away every possible chance of
damaging your network.
In order to establish a link between two or more networks, it is essential that the
antenna of the server and the antenna of the client be in line of sight. Chapter 2
will define line of sight in depth and explains the installation of the antennas.
