After removing AirEZY2411 e'lan Bridge from the shipping box, be sure to lay out all the contents to
ensure that all necessary components are accounted for before you begin the installation process.
Refer to Section 3.0 of this manual for a complete list of provided components.
In order to maXimize AirEZY2411 e'lan Bridge‘s full wireless bridging capabilities, the proper
placement of your AirEZYZAll e’lan Bridge unit with the antenna properly installed is crucial to its
overall performance The AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge is a wireless bridge system designed to be used in
porntAto—point applications. We require that the installation of this system be performed by a
qualified installer.. Please prowde the installer with this installation guide. This installation guide will
pronde the installer with the required information for proper installation wireless bridge
Antenna placement and installation should be the first step in the process of installing your
AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge, After the antenna is properly installed, 1) connect the RF cable to the
antenna and 2) to the AirEZY2411 e‘Ian Bridge unit. See Appendix A at B for proper connection of
cable to antenna and AirEZY24l1 e'lan Bridge. AirEZY2411 e’Ian Bridge wrll perform the best when
the antennas are within line of sight, lf posSible, place the AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge antenna in a
location so that the radio’s propagation path is not obstructed by tall trees, buildings, freeway
overpasses, or any other large obstacle that may interfere or disperse the radio frequency signal.
Optimal performance range for AirEZY2411 e‘lan Bridge is between five to seven miles when used
with the provided high gain antennas “'
Note: The AirEZYZMl e'lan Bridge output near the antenna exceeds the FCC adopted RF exposure
limits for people, The antenna must be installed so that this exposure does not exceed 1.0mW/cm7.
Based on the effective radiated power of the AirEZY24l1 e’larl Bridge using the antennas supplied, a
separation distance of 30 centimeters is required to limit the exposure, The antenna must be installed
such that a person would not be exposed to RF energy from the antenna that exceeds these limits.
morc Telecomt Inc. does not guarantee distances. Your geographical location or the presence of obstacles
between your connectivity points may affect AirEZY2411 e'lan Brldge’s overall performance.

4.2 Antenna Installation (See Aggendix B
WARNING: The authority to operate this device requires its operation and installation,
including an nnas, to comply with the FCC-adopted radio frequencthF) exposure limits. It is
the responsi Iity of the installer to install this device and associated antennas so that RF
exposures to persons do not exceed 1.0mWIcm’. For the AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge antenna
system (24dB, or 12dB antennas) the exposure limit is generally satisfied if the antennas are at
least 30.48 centimeters of 12 inches away from nearby persons.
Before installing AirEZY2411 e'ian Bridge onto your network, be sure to properly install the directional
antenna onto your building We require that the installation of the antennas be performed by a
qualified or licensed antenna installer. The front panel of your AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit will
have four LEDs and a RF cable connector The provided antenna cable will have a proprietary
32UNEF female connector that is matched to the AirEZY2411 e‘ian Bridge unit. Be sure to have the
UNEF Connector matched to the AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit. Be sure not to over torque the
screw as this may damage yourAirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit's 32UNEF male connector”!
When installing the antenna and the RF cable follow the following set—up procedure.
1) Be sure to attach the antenna to the antenna mast first. Please align the antennas on the two
pomts that you intend to connect before proceeding to the next step. Line of sight needs to be
established between the two high gain antennas.
2) Do not attach the low loss RF cable onto the AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit before the cable
is attached and connected to the antenna.
3) Once the antennas are properly installed onto the antenna mast and properly secured to your
building. you are ready to connect the RF cable to the antenna. Connect the RF cable to the
antenna by connecting the STD “N" female to STD “N" male connector on the antenna RF feed
cable.
4) Run the RF cable along the antenna mast to where the AirEZY241‘I e’lan Bridge unit Wl|| be
located.
5) Secure the cable approxmately 12"-18"(inches) away from the AirEZY2411 e'lan Bridge unit to
allow for stress reiiefalong the RF cable (Connecting the RF cable to the unit without stress
relief in place will damage the connector assembly on the AirEZY2411 e'lan Bridge units!)
After you have completed the installation of the antenna systems, please refer to the user’s
manual for the network connection.
