4.3 Wireless Ethernet Bridge Communication
If the communication system is a Wireless Ethernet Bridge, look for:
• a network card in the computer connecting to a network switch or router.
• a server radio mounted on the building and a client radio at the display.
Note: This system is referred to as a “bridge” because the radios are configured as a matched
pair. Therefore, if one radio needs to be replaced, both will have to be replaced.
Connections
• Computer to network − RJ45 cable from computer port to network server in building.
• Network switch to DC injector
• Wall power adapter from 120 VAC outlet to DC injector.
• Network cable from DC injector to server radio.
• Clear line of sight between server radio and client radio.
• Client radio to display − quick-connect cable to the middle jack on display back.
