Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to
radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the interference. You are cautioned that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
your authority to operate the equipment.
You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for RJ-45 connections - Category 3 or greater
for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections.
Warnings: 1.Wear an anti-static wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent
electrostatic discharge when handling this equipment.
2. When connecting this device to a power outlet, connect the field ground
lead on the tri-pole power plug to a valid earth ground line to prevent
electrical hazards.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance
of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Wireless 5 GHz Band Statement:
As the access point can operate in the 5150-5250 MHz frequency band it is limited by the
FCC, Industry Canada and some other countries to indoor use only so as to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz bands. These radars could cause interference and/
or damage to the access point when used in Canada.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.

Chapter 1: Introduction
•WB2011–Provides onlyexternal antenna options and isdesigned tooperateas
the “Master” bridge in point-to-multipoint configurations, supporting wireless
connections to asmany as 16 WB2011 Slave units.
Each wireless bridge model is housed in a weatherproof enclosure for mounting
outdoors and includes its own bracket kits for attaching to a wall, pole, radio mast, or
tower structure. The wireless bridge is powered through its Ethernet cable
connection from a power injector module that is installed indoors.
The wireless bridge system offers a fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for
connectivity between remote Ethernet wired LANs or to provide Internet access to
an isolated site. The system is also easy to install and operate, ideal for situations
where a wired link may be difficult or expensive to deploy. The wireless connection
provides data rates of up to 108 Mbps.
In addition, both wireless bridge models offer full network management capabilities
through an easy-to-use web interface, a command-line interface, and support for
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) tools.
Radio Characteristics – The IEEE 802.11a standard uses a radio modulation
technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a
shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates at the 5 GHz Unlicensed National
Information Infrastructure (UNII) band, providing a 54 Mbps half-duplex connection
in its normal mode or 108 Mbps in turbo mode.
Package Checklist
The Outdoor 5 GHz Wireless Bridge package includes:
•One Outdoor5 GHzWireless Bridge
• One Category 5 network cable, length 100 ft (30 m)
• One power injector module and power cord
•One N-type RFcoaxial cable (WB2011 only)
• Outdoor pole-mounting bracket kit
• Outdoor wall-mounting bracket kit

External Antenna Options (WB2011 Only)
The WB2011 Master bridge unitdoes notinclude an integrated antenna, but
provides various external antenna options. In a point-to-multipoint configuration an
external high-gain omnidirectional,orpanelantenna can be used to
communicate with up to 16 bridges spread over a wide area.
The externalantenna connects to the N-type RFconnectoron the WB2011 using
the provided coaxial cable.
Ethernet Port
The wireless bridge has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX 8-pin DIN port that connects
to the power injector module using the included Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port
connection provides power to the wireless bridge as well as a data link to the local
network.
The wireless bridge appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function
by moving packets from the wired LAN to the remote end of the wireless bridge link.
Power Injector Module
The wireless bridge receives power through its network cable connection using
power-over-Ethernet technology. A power injector module is included in the wireless
bridge package and provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for connecting to the
wireless bridge (Output), and the other for connecting to a local LAN switch (Input).
Note: The power injector module does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on
the IEEE 802.3af standard. The wireless bridge unit must always be powered on
by being connected to the power injector module.
The Input port uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration. You can
therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most network
interconnection devices such as a switch or router that provide MDI-X ports.

Introduction
1-4
1
However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that
does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.
The wireless bridge does not have a power switch. It is powered on when its
Ethernet port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector
module is connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED
indicator that turns on when AC power is applied.
The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between
100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
Warning: The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount the
power injector outside with the wireless bridge unit.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) BNC Connector
The RSSI connector provides an output voltage that is proportional to the received
radio signal strength. A DC voltmeter can be connected the this port to assist in
aligning the antennas at both ends of a wireless bridge link. For more information,
see “Align Antennas” on page 3-6.
Grounding Point
Even though the wireless bridge includes its own built-in lightning protection, it is
important that the unit is properly connected to ground. A grounding screw is
provided for attaching a ground wire to the unit.
Wall- and Pole-Mounting Bracket Kits
The wireless bridge includes bracket kits that can be used to mount the bridge to a
wall, pole, radio mast, or part of a tower structure.
