Introduction
Purpose of the Manual
The purpose of this User’s Guide is to allow you to easily
install and initially configure your Aironet Wireless Bridge.
Aironet Wireless Bridges enable you to connect two or
more Token Ring and/or Ethernet networks to create a
single virtual LAN.Workstations on each LAN can
communicate with each other through the Wireless Bridge
connection if they are on the same physical LAN.
When connecting two or more LANs, each LAN uses an
Aironet Wireless Bridge and an antenna to transmit and
receive information. Each RF based Wireless Bridge unit is
connected to the LAN. A Wireless Bridge appears as a
single network node on the wired LAN. It performs routing
functions by moving packets from the wireless LAN to
remote workstations on the radio network. Aironet Wireless
Bridges utilize Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
technologies in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
For detailed technical and configuration procedures, see
the Technical Reference Manual document number
710-004494.

Safety Information
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a
safety standard for human exposure to radiated frequency
(RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified
equipment.The Aironet products meet the uncontrolled
environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1,
1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the
instructions found in this manual will result in the user
exposure to be substantially below the FCC recommended
limits.
• Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is
transmitting or receiving.
• Do not hold any component containing the radio such
that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed
parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while
transmitting.
• Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded
blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless it
is a type especially qualified for such use.
• Do not operate radio or attempt to transmit data unless
the antenna is connected, if not, the radio may be
damaged.

Snap-On Antenna
Always orient antenna such that it is at least 5 cm
(2 inches) away from your body.
High Gain Antennas
High gain wall mount or mast mount antennas are
designed to be professionally installed and should be
located at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or
more from your body. Please contact your professional
installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper
installation requirements.
Warning for Laptop User
In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is
recommended when using a laptop with the snap-on
antenna, that the antenna should not be positioned
closer than 5 cm (2 inches) from your body or nearby
persons for extended periods of time while it is transmit-
ting (or operating).If the antenna is positioned less than
5 cm (2 inches) from the user, it is recommended that
the user limit exposure time or engage the power
saving features of the Aironet radio to reduce RF
exposure. See the Technical Reference Manual for
proper operation of power savings mode.

BeforeYou Start
After unpacking the system, make sure the following items
are present and in good condition.
• Wireless Bridge (Ethernet or Token Ring model)
• Power Pack.The power pack will be either 120VAC/
60Hz or 90-264VAC/47-63Hz to 12-18VDC, whichever
is appropriate for country of use.
• Lightning Arrestor (Bridge Package option)
• Mounting Kit
• Low Loss Antenna Cable
• Appropriate Directional Antenna (Bridge Package
option)
If any item is damaged or missing, contact your Aironet
supplier. Save all shipping and packing material in order to
repack the unit should service be required.
Determining Bridge Location
Before beginning installation and configuration, determine
where you want the Aironet Wireless Bridge located.
Because the unit is a radio device, decisions must be made
regarding unit and antenna location to ensure optimum
radio range and throughput performance.
Introduction

Building to Building Connectivity
Radio ranges for building to building connections are
determined by antenna elevation, path clearances, and
line-of-site considerations.To maximize the range of
your building to building connections, the antenna
should be as high as possible.
Line of Site
A clear line of sight must be maintained between
Wireless Bridge antennas. Any obstructions may
impede the performance or prohibit the ability of the
Wireless Bridge to transmit and receive data.
Directional antennas should be placed at both ends at
appropriate elevation with maximum path clearance.
