Marquee Bridge™
Quick Start Guide
PRELIMINARY
Introduction
Figure 1 – Marquee Bridge Kit Contents
The Marquee Bridge (MB) is a complete 5 GHz wireless
point-to-point (p-p) or point-to-multipoint (p-mp) system
that links two Ethernet LANs together. It consists of two
high-gain directional antennas and a pair of OFDM
radios in a rugged outdoor enclosure. They connect to
the LAN's Ethernet Switch on each end with an outdoorrated Ethernet cable ordered separately. It is ideal for
connecting two office LANs together, or for linking a
WIPOP site to an Internet backbone. The Marquee
Bridge uses the YDI-Fi software which supports VLAN
bridging (802.1q protocol).
The Marquee Bridge will accommodate virtually an
unlimited number of client MAC addresses on each side
of the link. With 5 non-overlapping channels available,
up to 5 bridges can be co-located at a site.
Installation
NOTE: All connectors must be properly water-proofed
with all-weather electrical tape, Permagum, or
equivalent. Do not use Silicon glue.
The Marquee Bridge is available in four versions:
•
The Marquee Bridge radio unit is installed by means of
a pole mount adaptor bracket that is secured to the pole
using two metal hose type clamps. Figure 1 shows the
hardware provided to mount the outdoor RF Unit.
Standard version with an integrated one-foot flat
panel antenna (MB-INT-ST) for operation in the
UNII Band II (5.250 – 5.350 GHz)
Standard version with an N-type connector for an
external antenna (MB-EXT-ST) for operation in the
ISM Band (5.725 – 5.850 GHz)
High Power version with an integrated one-foot flat
panel antenna (MB-INT-HP) for operation in the
ISM Band (5.725 – 5.850 GHz)
High Power version with an N-type connector for an
external antenna (MB-EXT-HP) for operation in the
ISM Band (5.725 – 5.850 GHz)

Align the four mounting studs on the outdoor unit
with the bracket holes (see Figure 3) and secure to
the bracket by pushing down the latches as shown
in Figures 4a and 4b.
The Marquee Bridge is intended for professional
installation only. Please review the entire manual before
powering up or deploying these units.

Figure 3 – Attaching the Marquee Bridge Outdoor
Unit to the Pole Mount Bracket
Ensuring that there is no DC power applied to the
DC Power Injector, plug the round connector of the
outdoor Ethernet cable into the rear jack of the unit
(Fig. 5a for an MB-INT, or Fig. 5b for an MB-EXT),
making sure the notch is correctly aligned with the
tab on the jack as shown in Figure 6, then turn the
round locking nut clockwise as you push in until it
securely fastens onto the jack.
WARNING:
Please verify that the round connector
is properly plugged into the rear jack of the antenna
prior to connecting DC power because it is possible
to push it in the wrong way if enough force is used.
If DC Power is applied while you are attempting to
insert the round connector into the jack, it is
possible that, as you rotate the plug in an effort to
find the key, DC power pins will momentarily touch
the Ethernet pins. If this happens the Ethernet
circuitry on the board will be damaged. Any
harm caused by this action will not be covered by
the factory warranty and will be a billable repair.

(a) If you have an MB-INT version, the Marquee
Bridge contains the antenna. Plug the AC
Adapter into an AC outlet and connect it to the
“DC Power” jack on the Cat 5 DC Power
Injector. Perform antenna alignment
procedures at both sites. Proper antenna
alignment is crucial for the correct operation of
the Marquee Bridge system and should only be
accomplished by experienced professionals.
After that your installation is complete.
Attach the other end of the outdoor Ethernet cable
to the Cat 5 DC Power Injector at port RJ-45
labeled “To ANT.”
NOTE: The Cat 5 DC Power Injector is not in a
waterproof enclosure and must be protected
from the weather. It can be permanently
mounted to a surface using the double stick
tape found on the back of it.
5.
Connect the Ethernet cable labeled “To PC or
Router” from the Cat 5 DC Power Injector to your
router, switch or hub. If you connect to a computer
or PC, a crossover cable or adapter will be needed.
6.
If your unit is placed on a non-metal pole or
structure, install a #6 AWG insulated ground cable
(not provided) to the ground connector in the back
of the radio as shown in Figure 7. Use a selfthreading screw and a flat washer to fasten the
earth lug. This provides safeguard against lightning.
For maximum protection, YDI also recommends the
use of its optional surge protected DC Injector
available from your YDI dealer (part No. 304800620-002). This DC Injector has an additional
wire to be connected to ground as shown on Fig. 8.
Depending upon the type of unit that you have,
follow instructions (a) or (b):
(b) If you have an MB-EXT version, plug the
antenna coaxial cable into the N-type female
connector of the unit as shown in Figure 9.
Plug the AC Adapter into an AC outlet and
connect it to the “DC Power” jack on the Cat 5
DC Power Injector. Perform antenna alignment
procedures at both sites. Proper antenna
alignment is crucial for the correct operation of
the Marquee Bridge system and should only be
accomplished by experienced professionals.
After that your installation is complete.
WARNING:
The MB-EXT must be operated with a
proper 5 GHz antenna or microwave terminator
plugged into the N-type female jack of the unit.
Operating the unit with nothing connected to the
antenna jack may result in damage to the TX
section of the unit which will not be covered by the
factory warranty and will be a billable repair.

NOTE: For detailed information about the YDI AP
Manager, please refer to the documentation in
your CD ROM. Also, an online help is available
by pressing F1 or clicking Help-> Index from
the main screen.
Depending on the model, one or two LEDs are present
on the front of the Marquee Bridge (Figure 10):
–ST Models:
•
The Green LED is steady on when power is applied
Configuring the Marquee Bridge
–HP Models:
•
The Green LED flashes when the Marquee Bridge
is in receive mode (steady on when idle)
•
The Red LED flashes when the Marquee Bridge
transmits data
The Marquee Bridge is shipped from factory preconfigured for bridging operation and with the proper
transmit power settings. The two units are set with the
following default IP addresses:
10.1.1.10
and
10.1.1.11

Some of the parameters that you may need to change
are the following:
Installing the Management Software
The Windows -based YDI AP Manager software can be
installed on a PC or workstation running Windows
98/ME, 2000, NT, or XP. This software has a GUI
(Graphical User Interface), which makes it easy to use.
The program allows you to locally or remotely perform
the following procedures:
•
•
•
Display a list of units running on the local network
Display and edit the current configuration of the
units
Save and load configurations
IMPORTANT:
Your Marquee Bridge units must be
on the same subnet as the computer with the YDI AP
Manager installed, or have a routable IP address, in
order to access it. If not, you will get a status of Offline
for the unit (see the Status column in Figure 11) even if
the LEDs show activity. To configure the units, change
the IP address of your computer to a 10.1.1.x sub-net.
Once you have access to the unit, you can then assign
a new IP address to it by clicking on the Setup tab and
IP Host button.

Note that the YDI AP Manager program is also used to
manage AP-Plus units. Therefore you will see many
grayed out options, features and settings. These only
become available when you are connected to an APPlus, Orinoco AP, or router that has all these features
available.
To install the YDI AP Manager in Windows, insert the
YDI CD-ROM included in the AP-Plus kit into the
appropriate drive of your computer. Using your
Windows Explorer, open the directory \Management
Software\YDI AP Manager and run the Set Up program
ydi_ap.exe. Simply follow the instructions on the screen
which will guide you through the entire process. After
completing the YDI AP Manager installation, you are
ready to configure your system.
