Bridge and Access Point
3CRWEASYA73 / WL-575
The 3Com WL-575 802.11a Outdoor Building-to-Building Bridge and Access Point provides IEEE
802.11a or 802.11b/g wireless access to the network. The bridge offers a fast, reliable, and cost-
effective solution for connectivity between remote Ethernet wired LANs or to provide Internet access
to an isolated site.
Power is supplied by Power Over Ethernet (PoE) using a:

IP Address Record the bridge MAC address in a safe place before the bridge is installed in a hard-to-reach location. The MAC address is printed on the back of the bridge. Additional IP address labels are shipped with the bridge. Location The WL-575 bridge must only be installed outdoors. It is not for indoor use. The PoE injector is for indoor use only. Plan your equipment location accordingly. 3 Mounting the Bridge The bridge can be mounted on the following types of surfaces: �Pole �Wall .

4 Attach the bridge with bracket to the plate already fixed to the pole. 5 Use the included nuts to secure the wireless bridge to the pole bracket. Note that the wireless bridge tilt angle may need to be adjusted during the antenna alignment process. Be sure to take account of the antenna polarization direction; all antennas in a link must be mounted with the same polarization. Using the Wall-Mounting Bracket Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a wall using the wall-mounting brack

7 Checking the LED Indicators The bridge’s 11a and 11b/g LEDs operate in two display modes, which are configurable through the software. The default AP mode indicates data traffic rates. The RSSI mode indicates the received signal power and is for use when aligning antennas in a bridge link. When the bridge is connected to power, LEDs indicate as follows: LED Color Indicates Power Green The bridge is powered up and operating normally. Off The bridge is not receiving power or there is a fault

8 Aligning Antennas After wireless bridge units have been mounted, connected, and their radios are operating, bridge link antennas must be accurately aligned to ensure optimum performance. This alignment process is particularly important for long-range point-to-point links. In a point-to-multipoint configuration the root bridge uses an omnidirectional or sector antenna, which does not require alignment, but bridge nodes still need to be correctly aligned with the root bridge antenna. � Point
