The  home  PC  gets  connected  to  the  internet  through  the  airBridge  TOTAL  as  client  and  airPoint  PRO  TOTAL  or  airPoint  TOTAL  as  Access  Point . .The  airPoint  TOTAL  is  identical  to  airBridge  TOTAL  .  The  following  description  up  to   “  Configuration “  is  common  to  airBridge  TOTAL , airPoit  PRO  TOTAL
and  airPoint  TOTAL .      Rooftop Installation The airBridge TOTAL can be mounted on the rooftop with the directional antenna pointing towards the  Access Point. There is a single Ethernet cable which carries power and data signals from PC. This is  permanently fixed to the airBridge TOTAL unit. Other end of the cable is connected to the PC through  the powerShot. The AC adapter connected to the powerShot provides the power to the airBridge  TOTAL. PREPARTION OF THE SITE : The wireless waves propagate in straight lines. So it is essential that the antennas connected to the airBridge TOTAL and Access Point are in line of sight without any obstruction. Select the most appropriate place on the roof which will provide a direct view to the Access Point. Secure a 1.5 inch steel pipe vertically and insure that it cannot come off with wind force.   MOUNTING THE airBridge TOTAL Fix the airBridge TOTAL unit with the U bolts to the steel pipe. Make sure to tighten both top and bottom mounting plates to the pipe with U bolts, nuts and spring washers. Tighten the nuts so that the  airbridge TOTAL does not rotate on the pipe. The mounting should be such that the antenna socket,  LED's, Ethernet Cable outlet etc face downward. The airBridge TOTAL is weather proof box made to  NEMA 4 specs. There are no user adjustable parts inside and it is recommended that the unit is used in  the same way it is shipped.
  Directional Antenna airBridge TOTAL AC/DC Adapter RJ-45 Ethernet Port 1.5 Inch pipe powerShot RF Cable Ethernet Cable U-bolt MOUNTING THE ANTENNA : Follow the mounting instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer and mount the antenna on the steel pipe. Antenna should be mounted on the same pipe as the airBridge TOTAL and positioned above it. The height of the antenna and direction should be in the direction of the Access Point. The antenna socket of the airBridge TOTAL and the antenna input have to be connected by an RG 8 N Male to N Male cable. CABLE : The Ethernet cable is manufactured for TOTAL use. One end of the Ethernet cable is permanently fixed  to the airBridge TOTAL unit. The Ethernet cable has to be routed along the pipe, roof, edge of the  roof and along the wall into the building, Suitable Cable ties should be used to hold it rigidly all along  its path. The cable length provided is 50 feet which in most circumstances will be sufficient. If the building  is too big and a longer cable is required the length can be extended by using the RJ 45 Female to  Female coupler. The other end of the cable should reach the PC inside the building . airBridgeTOTAL
 PC , powerShot Connection : The PC, powerShot and AC adapter should be close to a wall socket for AC mains. The Power supply  should have good ground. The Ethernet port of the PC and DC output of the AC adapter have to be  connected to the input ports of the powerShot. The Ethernet cable from the airBridge TOTAL has to be  connected to the output port of the powerShot . For cable lengths in excess of 50 meters it is  recommended that the AC adapter should be of 15 Volt type. Normally 12 V AC adapter is provided with  the  airBridge  TOTAL .  Switch ON : Now the airBridge TOTAL is ready for Switch on. Power On the AC adapter and connect to the network . The power indicator lamp on the airBridge TOTAL & powerShot lights up. It is followed by  the RF link LED. When the network data starts flowing the Ethernet LED also glows. Align : The airPointPRO TOTAL sends out beacon signals to the Client devices and Client devices get associated with the airPointPRO TOTAL . The antenna height and direction has to be adjusted to get  the maximum signal strength. When the Client device is associated the signal strength can be displayed on the client's monitor. This indication can be used to correctly align the antenna for the maximum signal . Now the encryption and settings of channel and the IP address etc can be set for the  airPointPRO TOTAL unit. Depending upon the gain of the antenna used, power output of the airPointPRO TOTAL has to be adjusted to be within the regulatory requirements.  Configuring  the  airBridge  TOTAL   Login
