Quick Install Guide
Installing the airBridge Series
airBridge series is a wireless client which can be used to connect any PC with Ethernet
port to a network / PC / Internet wirelessly. It is a simple plug and play device needing no
configuration. It operates at 2.4 GHz ISM band. Using an external directional antennas
for the airBridge outdoor can provide range of upto 32 Kilometers. It provides data rates
upto 11Mbps and encryption capability of 64 bits or 128 bits. It can interface with any
wireless LAN device complying with 802.11b specifications.
Currently there are 3 models in the airBridge series
1. airBridge - Indoor wireless ethernet client with a 2.2 dBi antenna
2. airBridge Outdoor - Outdoor wireless ethernet client device.
3. airBridge TOTAL - Outdoor wireless ethernet client device integrated with a 13 dBi / 9

For airBridge Outdoor / TOTAL
Important note - Earthing Requirements:
Follow National Electric Code NEC 810-20 and NEC 810-21 for this installation.
Rooftop Installation
The airBridge TOTAL can be mounted on the rooftop with the directional antenna
pointing towards the Access Point. Connect a outdoor rated shielded CAT5 / CAT5e
ethernet cable which carries power and data signals to airBridge Outdoor / airBridge
TOTAL. 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 Outdoor /
airBridge TOTAL.
Preparation of the Site:
The wireless waves propagate in straight lines. So it is essential that the antennas in the
airBridge Outdoor / 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

Mounting the airBridge Outdoor
Attach the airBridge Outdoor 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 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 Outdoor 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.
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 Outdoor 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 Outdoor and the antenna input have to be connected by an RG 8
N Male to N Male cable. Use the Coax Seal to seal the N Connector after fixing RG 8
Male cable. Prevent rain water entering the RF cable.

Mounting the airBridge TOTAL
Fix the Bracket arm of the airBridge TOTAL unit with the 2pcs of U bolts to the mast.
Make sure to tighten both top and bottom U bolts, with nuts and spring washers. Tighten
the nuts so that the Bracket arm does not rotate on the mast. Use the internal external
Toothed washer between cabinet bracket and mounting arm. Use the internal toothed
washer with the nut to ensure that the TOTAL is tightly held in place.
The airBridge TOTAL has a high gain in-built directional antenna. Depending on the
required signal polarity, use the correct fin for Vertical / Horizontal polarization. Please
note that the vertical polarity is indicated on the backside of the device. Mount the unit on
the Mounting arm with the 1/4" bolt, spring washer and nut and tighten.
Adjust the azimuth of the airBridge TOTAL unit by rotating the Mounting arm attached to
the mast. Adjust the elevation / tilt angle of the airBridge TOTAL unit by rotating it around
the fin.
Use the correct azimuth and the elevation angle to point the airBridge TOTAL unit
towards the remote transmission tower.
Use the Antenna alignment mode in the simpleMonitor software to maximize the received
signal strength for the unit.

Grounding:
The internal ground of the TOTAL is brought out to an earthing stud at the bottom side of
the unit. Please crimp a 10 AWG wire to the earth tag and secure the earth tag onto the
earthing stud tightly with the M6 nut provided. Ensure that the other end of the 10 AWG
wire is grounded to the earth at the power ground of the premises.
Note: Grounding has to be done before mounting the TOTAL on wall / pole.
Cabling:
The airBridge TOTAL is terminated into a weatherproof RJ45 female connector for
outdoor use. Refer to the cable and connector installation instructions supplied with the
weatherproof connector for more information. The user can connect required length of
suitable ethernet cable to connect the airBridge TOTAL to the user's PC / Network. RJ45
male connector is provided inside weatherproof connector for use with the ethernet cable
from PC. We strongly recommend an outdoor rated shielded CAT5 / CAT5e cable to
connect the TOTAL to the PC inside premises.
Note: The BBDN cable connected to TOTAL has minimum bending rating 50mm. Sharper
bends will break the ground foil inside the cable.
Mounting the External Antenna for TOTAL:
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.
Wall mounting:
Use the supplied wall mounting plugs with screws and washers to mount the mounting
arm directly on the wall instead of using U bolts to mount on a mast.

PC, powerShot Connection:
The powerShot has two input points and an outlet. One input is DC jack adaptable to the
AC adapter output. This is a flying lead connector as shown in the diagram. Other input is
RJ 45 Ethernet male connector with a short cable as shown in the diagram. This can be
directly plugged into the ethernet signal port of the LAN or PC. There is an LED indicator
on the injector indicating power is ON. The output port is RJ45 socket with DC power and
is part of the casing itself. A standard RJ 45 male to male cable is provided as standard
accessory to power injector to airBridge. When the user wants to use a longer cable to
position airBridge at a distance, the user is advised to use a standard RJ 45 cable (CAT
5 cable) with 8 wires.
Cross coupler switch in SB2820 powerShot selects straight or crosssed ethernet
connection.
For cable lengths in excess of 50 meters it is recommended that the AC adapter should
be of 18 Volt type. Normally 12 Volt AC adapter is provided with the airBridge.

Note:
Restore Default button at the bottom side of the powerShot should be used to restore the device
back to factory / WISP defaults.
