24Physical InstallationPrepare the Required Hardware and Tools5Physical InstallationPrepare the Required Hardware and ToolsYou must supply the following tools and equipment:■A notebook computer running Windows XP/2000 and installed with one wireless 802.11b/g/n network card and one Ethernet card■6mm flathead screwdriver■6mm Phillips screwdriver■10mm ratchet wrench■3mm Phillips screwdriver (if you will be using DC power)■Electric drill with 8mm drill bit (if mounting on a flat surface)Perform a Site SurveyBefore installing the Wireless Bridge, perform a site survey to determine the optimal Wireless Bridge placement or maximum range, coverage, and network performance. When performing a site survey, consider the following factors:■Data rates: Range is generally inversely proportional to data rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. Higher data rates will generally be achieved at closer distances.■Line of sight: Bridging two networks together with Ruckus Wireless Bridges requires direct line of sight between the two bridges for best results. Physical obstructions, such as concrete pillars, steel beams, trees or other buildings can block or hinder wireless communication. Wherever possible, ensure that there is direct line of sight between the two Wireless Bridges and that obstructions are unlikely to break line of sight. ■Antenna configuration: Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, radio range is increased by mounting the radio higher off of the ground (for recommended orientation examples, refer to Figure 15 on page 25).■Physical environment: Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the wireless range.■Signal interference: A number of machines and electronic devices that emit radio waves – cranes, wireless phones, microwave ovens, satellite dishes – interfere with and block wireless signals. Building materials used in construction also influence radio signal penetration. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks.
25Physical InstallationDetermine the Optimal Mounting Location and OrientationFor more Wireless Bridge placement guidelines, refer to “Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and Orientation”.Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and OrientationThe location and orientation that you choose for the Wireless Bridge play a critical role in the performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends installing Wireless Bridges away from obstructions and sources of interference and ensuring that the Wireless Bridges are in direct line of sight of one another.Figure 15.
