Planning the Installation
Proper selection of the installation points is critical for the success of the installation. In this topic we will look
at the factors that go into a proper site selection.
Determining the Distance Between Buildings Determining the Distance Between Buildings
It is important to verify that you do not exceed the distance capabilities of the BridgeLINK-Pro. If you are
unsure of the distance between the two points, you can use a measuring device such as range finders.
You can also look at the architect’s site plan or contact a local surveying service for assistance.
Choosing a Location for the BL Choosing a Location for the BL--Pro Pro
Typically, there are a number of suitable locations on which to mount the BPU, such as a wall, a tower, or
a rooftop. What is essential is a clear line-of-sight to the other BPU with which it will be communicating.
You must locate the BPU at a distance from the PoE adapter that is no farther than the specification will
allow. The maximum cable length for Category 5 Ethernet is 295 feet, and you must consider all bends in
the cable when determining distance. To avoid the risk of vandalism, consider placing the BPU in a
location where it is out of reach of the general public.
Co Co --Channel issues Channel issues
If you are installing two BL-Pro units at the same location, that is less than 50 feet apart from each other,
be sure to set a unique Subnet ID on each pair of bridges to minimize co-channel interference. Please

Co-channel Interference .
