Bridge control using IOS commands, Internet browser, or SNMP Note The bridge communicates only with other bridges and does not support associations with wireless client adapters. Figure 1-1 Bridge Configurations 1 2 5 9 7 8 8 1 Integrated antenna bridge configuration 2 External antenna bridge configuration Power The bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax Ethernet cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coaxial cable interface to the bridge. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 1-2 OL-4072-01 Chapter 1 Overview D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Key Features The power injector uses an external 48 VDC power module and after detecting the presence of the bridge, injects the DC voltage into the dual coax cables to power the bridge. Note The power injector and the power module should not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. External Antenna The bridge is available with an N-type RF connector on the front of the unit (see Figure 1-1) for an external 5.8-GHz antenna. The supported external antennas connect to the bridge antenna connector using the antennas 4.9 ft (1.5 m) long coax cable. 9 dBi omnidirectional external antenna with vertical polarization 9.5 dBi sector external antenna 28 dBi dish external antenna Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna bridge configuration and the external antenna must be professional installed. Integrated Antenna The bridge is available with an integrated 22.5 dBi patch array antenna. The antenna is covered with a special radome cover to protect the antenna from environmental elements. When configured with the integrated antenna, the antenna polarization is controlled by the mounting orientation of the bridge. The bridge must be physically rotated 90 degrees to obtain either horizontal or vertical polarization. A special polarization mark is designed into the bridge housing to indicate the polarization direction. Dual-Coax Ethernet Ports The bridges dual Ethernet ports accepts a pair of 75 ohm F-type connectors, linking the bridge to your 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN through the power injector. The dual coax cables are used to send and receive Ethernet data, plus the cables supply inline 48 VDC power from the power injector. For the location of the ports, refer to Figure 1-2. Tip You can connect the dual coax cable connectors to either of the bridges Ethernet ports. The bridge senses the Ethernet signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections. Metal Enclosure The bridge uses a metal enclosure that supports outdoor operating environments and supports an industrial temperature operating range (refer to Bridge Specifications, page 1-6). OL-4072-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 1-3 Key Features Indicators D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Chapter 1 Overview Four indicators are located on back of the housing to report installation/alignment conditions, bridge status, radio activity, and Ethernet activity. The indicators are shown in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2 Bridge Connectors and Indicators 7 7 7 7 8 8 6 4 5 3 5 6 7 Status LED Radio LED Install LED 2 1 Power injector dual-coax ports RSSI voltage port Ethernet LED 1 2 3 4

The install indicator indicates installation mode is activated. During installation mode, the other indicators provide signal strength readings used for antenna alignment.

The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the bridge radio link. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

The status indicator signals bridge association status. Blinking green indicates that the bridge is not associated with another bridge. Steady green indicates that the bridge is associated with at least one other bridge. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during installation mode. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 1-4 OL-4072-01 Chapter 1 Overview D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Network Configuration Examples

The Ethernet indicator signals Ethernet traffic. This indicator blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The indicator is off when the Ethernet link not working or the port is shutdown. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during installation mode. For additional information on the LED indicators, refer toChecking the LED Indicators section on page 5-2. Receive Signal Strength Indicator Port The bridge supports a radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) port for use in antenna alignment. The RSSI port produces a DC voltage proportional to the strength of the received radio signal. The highest voltage indicates the best antenna alignment position. The RSSI port is a male BNC connector located on the bottom of the bridge housing (see Figure 1-2). Note The RSSI port requires the use of a voltmeter and a cable with a female BNC connector. Network Configuration Examples This section describes the bridges role in three common wireless network configurations. Point-to-Point Configuration In a point-to-point configuration, two bridges are used to interconnect two remote LAN networks together using a wireless communication link (see Figure 1-3). The bridge connected to the main LAN network is classified as a root bridge and the other bridge is classified as a repeater bridge. Figure 1-3 Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration Bridge Bridge 3 3 8 8 8 Port Aggregation or Redundancy Configuration The port aggregation or redundancy configuration (Figure 1-4) is used to provide increased bandwidth or backup redundancy communications between two LANs. Port aggregation or increased bandwidth occurs when both wireless links are used to simultaneously pass Ethernet traffic. Backup communication redundancy can be achieved with this configuration when one wireless bridge link is used only if the other wireless bridge link fails.

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Warning Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use. Warning Industry standards relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure limits for this product require that the antennas should be positioned no less than 6.6 ft (2 m) from your body or nearby persons. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 2-2 OL-4072-01 Chapter 2 Installation Overview D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Safety Information Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security. Safety Information Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the bridge. FCC Safety Compliance Statement The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits. Safety Precautions Warning Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life!

1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. 2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake. 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 5. When installing your antenna, remember:

a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. OL-4072-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 2-3 Safety Information D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Chapter 2 Installation Overview c. Do dress properlyshoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. 6. 7. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you!

If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, dont touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately. Typical Bridge Installation Components The bridge is designed to be installed in an outdoor environment, typically, on a tower or a tall building.

(see note 1) 6 3 8 8 8 Note 1) Ground wires must comply with Sections 810 and 820 of the National Electrical Code and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. Caution To ensure correct installation and grounding, install the bridge in compliance with your local and national electrical codes: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, National Electrical Code

(U.S.); Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA 22.1 (Canada); and if local or national electrical codes are not available, refer to IEC 364, Part 1 through 7 (other countries). Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 2-4 OL-4072-01 Chapter 2 Installation Overview D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Installation Guidelines Installation Guidelines Because the bridge is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

Install the bridge in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the bridge. Install the bridge at a height sufficient to provide line-of-sight orientations. Site Surveys Because of differences in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple bridges, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum utilization of networking components and to maximize range, coverage, and network performance. Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:

Data ratesSensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio data increases.

Antenna type and placementProper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from other unlicensed radio systems.

Physical environmentClear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.

ObstructionsPhysical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas. Unpacking the Bridge Follow these steps to unpack the bridge:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents. Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save it. Ensure that all items listed in the Package Contents section are included in the shipment. Check each item for damage.

Each of these installation methods requires different approaches to the installation process. This document provides a mounting overview, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Installation Instructions that shipped with your bridge for detailed mounting instructions. The bridge is available in two configurations

Integrated antenna bridge (with 22.5 dBi directional antenna)

External antenna bridge (with antenna connector for use with an external antenna) Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna bridge configuration and the external antenna must be professional installed. Personnel installing the bridge must understand wireless bridging techniques, antenna alignment and adjustment, and grounding methods. The integrated antenna configuration can be installed by an experienced IT professional. Mounting Hardware The bridge is shipped with the following mounting hardware:

Multi-function mount (consisting of two bridge brackets, and one mast bracket)

Fastener hardware (consisting of nuts, bolts, washers, and U-bolts) Multi-function Mount The multi-function mount provides a method for mounting the bridge on a mast, tower, or an optional roof mast mount. The multi-function mount permits easy azimuth and elevation adjustments for antenna alignment purposes. The basic mounting procedure is shown below:

Mount the two bridge brackets to the bridge with the support pins facing the sides of the bridge.

Mount the mast bracket to the tower or mast using the supplied U-bolts.

Suspend the bridge on the mast bracket using the bridge bracket support pins.

Secure the bridge brackets to the mast bracket using the supplied nuts, bolts, and washers (hand tighten).

Align the bridge and tighten the nuts and bolts. Bridge Brackets The two bridge brackets mount on the back side of the bridge housing. Each bracket mounts on two screw posts on opposite ends of the unit. The support pin on the bridge bracket must be facing the side of the unit. These support pins are used to suspend the bridge in the notches on the mast mounting bracket until you secure the mounting bolts. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 3-2 OL-4072-01 Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview Bridge LED Indicators D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L The bridge brackets must be positioned to obtain the correct antenna polarization that matches the remote antenna. The bridge housing contains an antenna polarization mark consisting of an arrow on the side of the housing. When the bridge is positioned so that the arrow is pointing up, the bridge antenna is vertically polarized. For horizontal polarization, the arrow should be pointing from left to right. All bridges must use the same antenna polarization for best operation. Mast Bracket The mast bracket attaches to a mast or tower support and is used to secure the bridge.The procedure for attaching the mounting bracket to the support depends on the pipe diameter, as shown in Table 3-1. Table 3-1 Mast Bracket Attachment Methods Mast Type Roof mount, small mast, or tower Large mast Mast Diameter 1.25 to 2.5 inches

(30.5 to 63.5 mm) Mast Attachment Method Attach the pipe inside the mounting bracket, between the bracket and bridge. 2.5 to 4.5 inches

(63.5 to115 mm) Attach the pipe outside the mounting bracket, away from the bridge. Bridge LED Indicators When you power up the bridge for the first time, it starts in a special installation mode. The LEDs indicate the startup status, operating mode, association status, and received signal strength. This information simplifies the process of activating the link and positioning the antenna from the bridge mounting location. The LEDs are mounted on the back of the housing, near the connectors (see Figure 1). OL-4072-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 3-3 Bridge LED Indicators Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Figure 1 LED and Connector Locations 4 8 1 8 8 8 3 1 2 1 2 Ethernet LED Status LED 3 4 Radio LED Install LED When the bridge is initially powered-up, installation mode is activated and the bridge attempts to associate to a root bridge for 60 seconds. If it is unable to associate with a root bridge, it automatically assumes the root bridge role. The Install LED provides bridge association status during installation mode as shown in Table 3-2. Table 3-2 Install LED Association Status Install LED Off Amber blink State Self test Non-root, searching Amber solid Green blink Non-root, associated Root, searching Green solid Root, associated 1.

Associated (root mode) Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 3-4 OL-4072-01 Chapter 3 Mounting and Alignment Overview Aligning the Antenna Using LED Indications D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L You use the Install LED to determine when the bridge successfully associates with a remote bridge and to verify its mode of operation. After association, the other three LEDs indicate signal strength (see Table 3-3). The startup and association sequence depends on the bridge configuration, which can be one of the following types:

DefaultThe bridge attempts to associate with a root bridge for 30 seconds. If it does not associate with a root bridge, it then attempts to associate with a non-root bridge.

Pre-configuredThe bridge attempts to associate with a remote bridge in the configured mode, either root or non-root. Because there are no time-outs, it is easier to align the antenna. Aligning the Antenna Using LED Indications You can align the integrated antenna using LEDs after the bridge successfully associates with a remote bridge. In the installation mode before association to another bridge, the Install LED blinks amber. If the bridge associates to a root bridge, the Install LED turns steady amber. If the bridge does not associate to a root bridge in the first 30 seconds, the Install LED blinks green to indicate beacons are being transmitted and the bridge is waiting for another non-root bridge to associate. After association, the Install LED turns into steady green and the Ethernet, status, and radio LEDs then display signal strength as shown in Table 3-3). Note For the signal level (dBm), a smaller number represents a stronger signal because the signal level is given as a negative value. Note Each time you move the antenna, you must wait approximately 20 seconds before the LED patterns are valid. Table 3-3 LED Installation Mode Signal Strength Display Signal Level (dBm)

Slow blinking rate of 1 Hz/sec. 2. Medium blinking rate of 2 Hz/sec. 3. Fast blinking rate of 4 Hz/sec. When using LEDs to maximize the signal, you adjust the antenna until as many LEDs as possible are turned-on and the rest are blinking as fast as possible. Aligning the Antenna Using the RSSI Voltage The RSSI port outputs a DC voltage that is proportional to the received signal level. The RSSI voltage is available whenever a signal is present, regardless of the bridge mode (installation or normal), association status, or pre-configuration role setting. The RSSI voltage provides an instantaneous reading as you move the antenna. The RSSI port is a female BNC connector on the bridge housing (see Figure 1). The RSSI voltage increases linearly with signal level as shown in Table 4. Note A larger RSSI voltage reading indicates a stronger signal. Table 4 RSSI Voltage Levels Nominal Signal Level (dBm)

Use default address 10.0.0.1 when you connect to the bridge locally. For detailed instructions, see the Connecting to the Bridge Locally section on page 4-3.

Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address. You can find out the DHCP-assigned IP address using one of the following methods:

Provide your organizations network administrator with your bridges Media Access Control

(MAC) address. Your network administrator will query the DHCP server using the MAC address to identify the IP address. The bridges MAC address is on label attached to the bottom of the bridge. Use the Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned address. You can also use IPSU to assign an IP address to the bridge if it did not receive an IP address from the DHCP server. IPSU runs on most Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 9x, 2000, Me, NT, and XP. You can download IPSU from the Software Center on Cisco.com. For additional information refer to the Obtaining and Installing IPSU section on page 4-9. Connecting to the Bridge Locally If you need to configure the bridge locally (without connecting the bridges power injector to a wired LAN), you can connect a PC to the power injectors Ethernet port using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use a local connection to the Ethernet port much as you would use a serial port connection. Note You do not need a special crossover cable to connect your PC to the bridges power injector; you can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable.

-----Can someone verify the following DHCP Server statement-----

If the bridge is configured with default values and not connected to a DHCP server or cannot obtain an IP address, it defaults to IP address 10.0.0.1 and becomes a mini-DHCP server. In that capacity, the bridge provides up to twenty? IP addresses between 10.0.0.11 and 10.0.0.30 to an Ethernet-capable PC connected to the power injectors Ethernet port. The mini-DHCP server feature is disabled automatically when you assign a static IP address to the bridge. Caution When a bridge with default settings is connected on a wired LAN and does not receive an IP address from a DHCP server, the bridge provides an IP address to any DHCP requests it receives. Follow these steps to connect to the bridge locally:

Step 1 Make sure that the PC you intend to use is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, or manually assign it an IP address from 10.0.0.31 to 10.0.0.40. Connect your PC to the power injector using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use either a crossover cable or a straight-through cable. Step 2 Power up the power injector.

If you make a mistake and need to start over, follow the steps in the Resetting the Bridge to Default Settings section on page 4-2. After configuring the bridge, remove the Ethernet cable from your PC and connect the power injector to your wired LAN. Note When you connect your PC to the bridges power injector or reconnect your PC to the wired LAN, you might need to release and renew the IP address on the PC. On most PCs, you can perform a release and renew by rebooting your PC or by entering ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew commands in a command prompt window. Consult your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions. Assigning Basic Settings After you determine or assign the bridges IP address, you can browse to the bridges Express Setup page and perform an initial configuration. Follow these steps:

IP AddressUse this setting to assign or change the bridges IP address. If DHCP is enabled for your network, leave this field blank.

Note If the bridges IP address changes while you are configuring the bridge using the web-browser interface or a Telnet session over the wired LAN, you lose your connection to the bridge. If you lose your connection, reconnect to the bridge using its new IP address. Follow the steps in the Resetting the Bridge to Default Settings section on page 4-2 if you need to start over.

IP Subnet MaskEnter the IP subnet mask provided by your network administrator so the IP address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.

Default GatewayEnter the default gateway IP address provided by your network administrator. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.

SNMP CommunityIf your network is using SNMP, enter the SNMP Community name provided by your network administrator and select the attributes of the SNMP data (also provided by your network administrator). Read-Onlyindicates the bridge allows only SNMP read accesses. Using this option, an SNMP user can not change bridge configuration settings. Read-Writeindicates the bridge allows SNMP read and write accesses. This setting allows an SNMP user to change the bridge configuration.

Radio Service Set ID (SSID)Enter the case-sensitive SSID (32 alphanumeric characters maximum) provided by your network administrator. The SSID is a unique identifier that remote bridges use to associate with your bridge.

Broadcast SSID in BeaconUse this setting to allow devices that do not specify an SSID to associate with the bridge. YesThis is the default setting; it allows a remote bridge that does not specify an SSID to associate with the bridge. NoRemote bridges must specify an SSID to associate with the bridge. With No selected, the SSID used by the remote bridge must match exactly the bridges SSID.

Role in Radio NetworkClick on the checkbox and button that describes the role of the bridge on your network. Install ModeActivates the bridge install and alignment mode. Specifies that the bridge automatically determines the network role. If the bridge is able to associate to another root bridge within 60 seconds, the bridge assumes a non-root bridge role. If the bridge is unable to associate with another root bridge within 60 seconds, the bridge assumes a root bridge role. You can also pre-configure the bridge into root or non-root modes and avoid the 60 seconds automatic detection phase. RootSpecifies the bridge connects directly to the main Ethernet LAN network and accepts associations from other bridges. Non-rootSpecifies the bridge connects to a remote LAN network and must associate with the root bridge using the wireless interface. Note When initially powered-up, the bridge is configured in Install mode with automatic detection activated.

Optimize Radio Network forUse this setting to select either preconfigured settings for the bridge radio or customized settings for the bridge radio. ThroughputMaximizes the data volume handled by the bridge but might reduce its range. RangeMaximizes the bridges range but might reduce throughput. DefaultThe bridge retains default radio settings that are designed to provide good range and throughput for most bridges. CustomThe bridge uses settings you enter on the Network Interfaces: Radio-802.11a Settings page. Clicking Custom takes you to the Network Interfaces: Radio-802.11a Settings page. Step 7 Click Apply to save your settings. If you changed the IP address, you lose your connection to the bridge. Browse to the new IP address to reconnect to the bridge. Note You can restore the bridge to its factory defaults by unplugging the power injectors power jack and plugging it back in while holding down the Mode button for a few seconds, or until the Status LED turns amber.

What To Do Next After your bridge has basis settings, you need to complete your bridges configuration. You might need to adjust the output power level and other network and security settings. Output Power Level Your bridges output power level might require adjustment in the following conditions:

The bridges output power level must be reduced when using an external dish antenna or when using the integrated antenna in a multipoint configuration (refer to Maximum Power Levels section on page C-2).

When bridges are located less than 328 ft (100 m) apart, you should reduce their output power to avoid overloading the bridges receivers. To configure your bridges output power level, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Software Configuration Guide. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 4-8 OL-4072-01 Chapter 4 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Using the IP Setup Utility D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Protecting Your Wireless LAN To prevent unauthorized access to your network, you need to configure security settings. Because the bridge is a radio device, the bridge communicates beyond the physical boundaries of your building. Refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Software Configuration Guide to configure security features to protect your network from intruders:

OL-4072-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 4-9 Using the IP Setup Utility Chapter 4 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Using IPSU to Find the Bridges IP Address If your bridge receives an IP address from a DHCP server, you can use IPSU to find its IP address. Because IPSU sends a reverse-ARP request based on the bridge MAC address, you must run IPSU from a computer on the same subnet as the bridge. Follow these steps to find the bridges IP address:

Step 1 Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start the utility. The IPSU screen appears (see Figure 4-3). Figure 4-3 IPSU Get IP Address Screen Step 2 When the utility window opens, make sure the Get IP address radio button in the Function box is selected. Step 3 Enter the bridges MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The bridges MAC address is printed on the label on the bottom of the unit. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your bridges MAC address might look like the following example:

000164xxxxxx Note The MAC address field is not case-sensitive. Step 4 Click Get IP Address. Step 5 When the bridges IP address appears in the IP Address field, write it down. If IPSU reports that the IP address is 10.0.0.1, the default IP address, then the bridge did not receive a DHCP-assigned IP address. To change the bridge IP address from the default value using IPSU, refer to the Using IPSU to Set the Bridges IP Address and SSID section on page 4-10. Using IPSU to Set the Bridges IP Address and SSID If you want to change the default IP address (10.0.0.1) of the bridge, you can use IPSU. You can also set the bridges SSID at the same time. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 4-10 OL-4072-01 Chapter 4 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Using the IP Setup Utility D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Note The computer you use to assign an IP address to the bridge must have an IP address in the same subnet as the bridge (10.0.0.x). Note IPSU can change the bridges IP address and SSID only from their default settings. After the IP address and SSID have been changed, IPSU cannot change them again. Follow these steps to assign an IP address and an SSID to the bridge:

Step 1 Step 2 Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start the utility. Click the Set Parameters radio button in the Function box (see Figure 4-4). Figure 4-4 IPSU Set Parameters Screen Step 3 Enter the bridges MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The bridges MAC address is printed on the label on the bottom of the unit. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your bridges MAC address might look like this example:

004096xxxxxx Note The MAC address field is not case-sensitive. Step 4 Step 5 Enter the IP address you want to assign to the bridge in the IP Address field. Enter the SSID you want to assign to the bridge in the SSID field. Note You cannot set the SSID without also setting the IP address. However, you can set the IP address without setting the SSID. Step 6 Click Set Parameters to change the bridges IP address and SSID settings. OL-4072-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 4-11 Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI Chapter 4 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Step 7 Click Exit to exit IPSU. Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI When you connect the bridge to the wired LAN, the bridge links to the network using a bridge virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the bridges Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI. When you assign an IP address to the bridge using the CLI, you must assign the address to the BVI. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address to the bridges BVI:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Command configure terminal interface bvi1 ip address address mask Purpose Enter global configuration mode. Enter interface configuration mode for the BVI. Assign an IP address and address mask to the BVI. This step automatically saves the running configuration to the startup configuration. Note You lose your connection to the bridge when you assign a new IP address to the BVI. If you need to continue configuring the bridge, use the new IP address to open another Telnet session to the bridge. Using a Telnet Session to Access the CLI Follow these steps to browse to access the CLI using a Telnet session. These steps are for a PC running Microsoft Windows with a Telnet terminal application. Check your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions for your operating system. Step 1 Select Start > Programs > Accessories > Telnet. If Telnet is not listed in your Accessories menu, select Start > Run, type Telnet in the entry field, and press Enter. Step 2 When the Telnet window appears, click Connect and select Remote System. Note In Windows 2000, the Telnet window does not contain drop-down menus. To start the Telnet session in Windows 2000, type open followed by the bridges IP address.

The status indicator signals bridge association status. Blinking green indicates that the bridge is not associated with another bridge. Steady green indicates that the bridge is associated with at least one other bridge. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the bridge radio link. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

The Ethernet indicator signals Ethernet traffic. This indicator blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The indicator is off when the Ethernet link not working or the port is shutdown. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

The install indicator provides installation mode association status. During installation mode, the other indicators provide signal strength readings used for antenna alignment.

Power Injector LED Indicators The power injector contains three LED indicators to provide status information on the wired Ethernet link, the bridge Ethernet link, and the bridge status. When the power injector is powered up, it sends a constant discovery tone on the dual-coax cables to the bridge. When the bridge is connected to the dual-coax cables, it returns the discovery tone to the power injector. When the power injector detects the returned discovery tone, it applies +48 VDC to the dual-coax cables to the bridge. When power is applied to the bridge, the bridge activates the bootloader and begins the POST operations. The bridge begins to load the IOS image when the Post operations are successfully completed. Upon successfully loading the IOS image, the bridge initializes and tests the radio.

If the bridge does not associate with a remote bridge, check the following areas. SSID To associate, all bridges must use the same SSID. The bridge installation mode SSID is autoinstall and the normal mode default SSID is tsunami. You should verify the SSID value shown on the Express Setup page is the same for all bridges. You should also verify the bridges are configured for the proper network role; only one bridge can be configured as the root bridge. Security Settings Remote bridges attempting to authenticate with your bridge must support the same security options configured in the bridge, such as WEP, EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity Check (MIC), WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions. If a remote bridge is unable to authenticate with your bridge, verify the security settings are same as your bridge settings. For additional information, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Bridge Software Configuration Guide. OL-4072-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 5-7 Antenna Alignment D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Chapter 5 Troubleshooting Antenna Alignment If your bridges are unable to associate together, you should verify the basic configuration settings on all bridges before attempting to verify bridge antenna alignment (refer to Configuring the Bridge for the First Time section on page 4-1). If your basic configurations settings are correct, you can verify antenna alignment by using the the RSSI port. The RSSI port can be used even when the bridges are not associated. Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna bridge configuration and the external antenna must be professional installed. The RSSI port outputs a DC voltage that is proportional to the received signal level. The RSSI voltage is available whenever a signal is present, regardless of the bridge mode (installation or normal), association status, or pre-configuration role setting. The RSSI voltage provides an instantaneous reading as you move the antenna. The RSSI port is a female BNC connector on the bridge housing. To obtain RSSI readings, you can use any convenient voltmeter connected to the RSSI port using a cable with a male BNC connector. The RSSI voltage increases linearly with signal level as shown in Table 6. Note A larger RSSI voltage reading indicates a stronger signal. Table 6 RSSI Voltage Levels Nominal Signal Level (dBm)

For additional alignment information, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your bridge. Resetting to the Default Configuration If you forget the password that allows you to configure the bridge, you may need to completely reset the configuration. You can use the MODE button on the power injector or the web-browser interface. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 5-8 OL-4072-01 Chapter 5 Troubleshooting D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Resetting to the Default Configuration Note The following steps reset all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID. Using the MODE Button Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all bridge settings to factory defaults using the MODE button:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Disconnect the power jack on the power injector. Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the power injector. Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 3 seconds), and release the button.
