Mounting Instructions for the Cisco Aironet 340 Series Workgroup Bridge

August 15, 2000

This document provides instructions for mounting the Cisco Aironet 340 Series Workgroup Bridge.

Installation Guidelines

Because the bridge is a radio device, it is susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

Install the bridge in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and filing cabinets will not obstruct radio signals to and from the bridge.
Install the bridge away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as the bridge and can cause signal interference.

Installation Notes

You can mount the bridge to a wall using the mounting kit and mounting template provided. The kit contains the following parts:

Two #6 - #8 plastic wall anchors
Two #6 x 3/4" sheet-metal screws

Installation Instructions

Step 1 Use the mounting template to drill two holes in the wall. The holes should be 3/16 in. (0.48 cm) in diameter and 1 in. (2.54 cm) deep.

Step 2 Tap the wall anchors into the holes.

Step 3 Drive the screws into the wall anchors, leaving a small gap between the screw head and the anchor.

Step 4 Position the mounting holes on the bottom of the bridge over the screws (see Figure 1) and pull down to lock in place.

Step 5 Position the antenna so it is pointing straight up.
