Configuring the Wireless Bridge Units
The 3Com Wireless Building-to-Building Bridge Manager software communicates
with each wireless bridge using a non-routable protocol. Therefore, your wireless
bridge units must be accessible on the local subnet to communicate with the
Bridge Manager.
1
Remove your 3Com Wireless Building-to-Building Bridge from the
packaging.
The wireless bridge ships fully assembled. The back panel of the bridge
provides a
power jack
2
for connecting the bridge to a power source.
It also provides a 10BASE-T Ethernet port
3
for connecting the
bridge to the LAN (see figure below).
2
Connect power to the wireless bridge:
a
Connect the six-pin DC power cable to the power adapter.
b
Connect the AC power cord to the other side of the power adapter.
c
Connect the round power plug to the power jack
2
labeled 5 VDC.
d
Insert the AC power cord into an AC power outlet.
The bridge unit turns on instantly when power is supplied to it. (The unit
has no power switch.)
CAUTION:
Do not try to batch-configure a set of wireless bridge units
by powering up all of your units and connecting them to the same
subnet at the same time. Connecting a set of bridge units to the same
subnet while configuring them can produce a network loop. Avoid
this situation by serially powering up, connecting, configuring,
powering down, and detaching each bridge from the subnet unit one
at a time.
