Introduction
AIRAYAWirelessGRID-300 serieswireless bridgeshavebeen designedto
providetransparent,high-speeddatacommunicationsbetween twoor
morelocations.
TheWirelessGRID-300 utilizesdetachableantennasandisan outdoor
radioproduct,with externalantennaconnections.Theproduct requires
installation by acertifiedprofessionalinstaller,only.
WirelessGRID-300 firmwarewill not allowtheendusertochangeor

EthernetCompatibility
WirelessGRID-300 wireless bridgescan beattacheddirectly to10BASE-
1000/100 BASE-TX(twisted-pair)EthernetLAN segments.These
segmentsmust conformtotheIEEE 802.3 specification.
Each WirelessGRID-300 bridgefunctionsasan Ethernet nodeand
performslayer2 bridgingby movingpacketsfromanetwork in one
buildingtoanetwork in anotherbuilding.
RadioCharacteristics
WirelessGRID-300 bridgesutilizesaradiomodulation techniqueknown as
OrthogonalFrequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM)capableof operating
in the5.725-5.850 band.Dataistransmittedoveraradiochannelat
signalingratesupto300 Mbps.

BeforeinstallingtheWirelessGRID-300 bridge,besureyou havethe
followingitemson-hand:
üAn ACpoweroutlet (100 to240 V,50 to60Hz)tosupply powerto
theindoorinjectorunitson both sidesof thewireless link
üAn outdoorunit mast with a1 to4 inch (25.4 to101.6 mm)
