1400 series bridge and antenna

dear all
i have 2 offices distance between them is 3.5 kilometers. i want to link between them thru 1400 series bridge.
but i'm not clear abt the location, bcoz the next office is 3.5 km away so i dont know which side it is, so in this case, how can i select the antenna, is it possible to cover this 3.5 km with 1300 series Access points.
how can i complete this connectivity please guide me.
Thnaks & regds

Hi
I recommend you to work with 1400 bridge antenna (dish, sector or omni). If you want a point to point link , then you can work with 2 dish antennas (3,5 Km is a small distance for this antennas)

Bridge and AP, using a 1200 series bridge.

Hi Folks,
I would like to bridge from an AP1131 to an AP1262 using the 5.8 ghz radios then allow access via the 2.4 ghz radio on the 1260. I will use a directional antenna for the 1260 bridge to optimize performance. The 5ghz radio will only be used for bridging. The ap 1131 is an AP right now but only offers access on 2.4 ghz. There are only a few clients.
The 1130 will be sitting in a window with the ant5160 outdoor mounted and pointed at it from ~200 feet away.
Does anyone see an issue? Maybe suggest a better parts list. I was originally thinking of using a 1310 as the bridge and a 1140 as the AP but that configuration is not as flexiable and the 1310 part is very old... I understand I will not get N throughput since the 1130 is not N capable, it is already installed. I need autonomous AP and can upgrade to 1140 in the future to improve performance.
I plan to upgrade to WCS next year, does it support this type of configuration? I am assuming that IOS does...
So here are the part numbers that I plan to use.
AIR-AP1262N-A-K9
AIR-AP1131AG-A-K9
Directional 5.8 ghz
AIR-ANT5160NP-R=
Omni 2.4 ghz
AIR-ANT2430V-R=
Thanks for any help,
Joe

Joe,
I am a little confused by your post but can offer some answers.
First of all I assume your intending to purt the external antennas on the 1262 not the 1130.
In terms of configuration you will need to configure 1 of the 802.11a radios in either the 1130 or the 1262 as a station role of root and the other in station role of non-root, that will enable them to connect to each other and bridge, then you can configure the 802.11b/g radios any way you choose and everythign should work as I think your intending,
over this distance you may get decent speeds. I'd be more inclined to use 1262's on each side with appropriate antennas; depending on what exactly your trying to accomplish on each side as far as coverage goes..
In terms of moving to WCS and lightweight mode it really doesn't support this configuration.

1400 bridge and VLANs

I have two sites bridged with 1400 bridges.
I wish to bridge a single vlan between the two sites. However I want to setup the bridges with management IP's on seperate subnets (the local management subnet for each site).
The only way I can get this to work without bridging various vlans together is to not use the BVI1 interface and apply the bridge management ip to a subinterface as per below:
interface FastEthernet0.816
encapsulation dot1Q 816
ip address 10.97.16.100 255.255.255.0
no ip route-cache
bridge-group 2
bridge-group 2 spanning-disabled
interface BVI1
no ip address
no ip route-cache
Then not bridge this vlan816 on the radio interface.
The issue with this is that the snmp process on these bridges seems to be hard coded to bind only to BVI1 - hence snmp does not work at all. I have a TAC case in re the snmp which is obviously a bug. However I was wondering if anyone else has met these similar requrements via another means?
Thanks for any help.
Kent.

Hi.
You only way, you can access to the bridge using IP (snmp or other protocols)is configuring BVI1 with ip, in the VLAN what ever you want or chose for management and the same ip range an vlan for the other bridge and BVI1 too, because the APs o bridge only can bridge IP over this BVI1.
Regards.

Aironet 1300 Bridge and AP simultaneously

Hello Everybody I`ll like to use the Aironet 1300 in a Bridge and AP operation simultaneously and I`ll use a Omnidirectional Antenna ANT-2506 to cover clientes. The question is if in this design the non root AP/bridge operate like repeaters and what about the Bandwith. does this anntena work for a AP application? What is the coverage with this anntena for clients and others bridges.
My scenario is a Root 1300 with Antenna ANT-2506 for clients and bridges and 5 1300 (non root) with Antenna ANT-2506 for clients and bridges.
Thanks in advance!

The flexibility of the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series allows it to operate asa wireless bridge, access point, or a workgroup bridge.

About bridge and extreme sloth

Setup: Running win7-64bit, on i7 with 8GB ram, using tools from the cloud (trial)
If this is the wrong forum for bridge there seems to be no forum for bridge specifically so posting here because I'm currently using bridge with PR.
After downloading all the still and videos from days work, (5 videos and some 50+ stills plus the raw formats too), I'm trying to go through them, do some renaming and general organizing prior to loading videos into PR.
At first I thought the new bridge had no right click functions, since when I attempt to right click an image or series of images nothing happens. No menu is raised.
But, finally the right click menu appeared and I was able to batch rename. But every little chore, renaming, copying to somewhere else and even just moving around I find to be like wading through thick (deep) mud.
I have PR and Bridge open along with Google earth but no other process is really processing data or doing other heavy lifting except bridge.
Is 8gb of ram just too puny for the newest adobe tools, or are there steps I can take that will allow bridge to function at something approaching a reasonable speed?

In the lower right hand corner of Bridge you will see an arrow. If it is spinning it means it is building the cache. With CS6 it seems to lock up the application until finished, and seems to take longer than in CS5. Thumbnails seem to build at the rate of about 1 second for every 30 meg. So for a 300 meg video file it takes about 10 seconds, at least on my system. Once the cache is built then things run at a good clip.
(PS - Processor speed: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q820 @ 1.73GHz 1.73GHz)
I see a pause in actions even after the arrow quits spinning (I guess you meant the lower LEFT side?).
For example, once the arrow quits, if I click a top menu item (any one of them) I experience a second pause nearly as long as the arrow spin pause, before the menu opens. Once that has happened then other menu items or the same one are normally fast to respond to a click.
A further example of what seems to be uneccessary sloth happens if I minimize bridge or focus on a differnt app window such as this browser, then go back to bridge and click a menu item, I see a full 5/6 second pause before the menu is displayed. After having clicked and waited on one menu item, the rest respond normally to a click
A quick look at what a session might look like:
Click a directory in folder (or content) view (wait out a 4/6 second pause)
Once the directory has opened press Ctrl-a to select all images (wait out a 4/6 second pause) click a new directory (wait out a 4/6 second pause) right click to get to `paste' or press Ctrl-v (wait out a 4/6 second pause).
Not really a workable flow (at least not for me).
Curt Y wrote:[...]
Also check your thumbnals. I use embedded as they are small and fast. If you use HQ, and generate 100% preview they can use a lot of disk space and would take longer to build. Thumbnail options are two squares on 2nd line of tool bar on right hand side.
Switching between "Always high quality" and "Prefer imbedded" I don't see any noticable change. But that is on directories with fairly small content, like a mixture of 40 raw and 40 jpg stills at 6000x4000. Something like 1.35 GB of data. The *.jpg are about 10MB and the (raw) *.arw are about 24 MB.
One really maddening thing I see here, is that when I've been focused on some other app window, then come back to bridge and right click on an image in a open directory, the pause for the right click menu to show up is a full 8 seconds.
And that right click pause never goes away. That is, if I right click andwait for the menu, then right click on the next image I have another 4/6 second pause for the menu to appear.
Curt Y wrote:
For some reason if you purge cache with Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder they seem to rebuild much faster.
I don't see any noticable change here following that proceedure.
Curt Y wrote:
Bridge is more dependant on processor speed than RAM.
How much processor speed is requred to not see these nasty pauses?
On my current working machine, the repeated pausing in bridge has meant that its nearly useless. Bridge ends up being saved only for mass rename or image processing chores.

Bridge and after effects

Hi!
I'm new to after effects, but not new the adobe programs. I could be considered a "power user" for several of their products.
I'm currently trying to teach myself how to use After Effects with the classroom in a book series. In that teaching series, one of the things they are trying to teach is the integration between bridge and after effects to preview, and then export, effects. However, the integration between these two softwares is proving to be very buggy.
As per the instructions in the book, I'm supposed to be able to preview the text special effects in bridge, and then place them to a selected layer in after effects, but what usually happens is nothing. After several attempts, I came to the conclusion that this part of the software wasn't working. I was able to work around this by going to the effects panel in After effects and dragging and dropping it onto the selected layer. I only use bridge to preview.
Unfortunately, I've hit a technical snafu with loading an animated path. It's not working in the after effects panel, and when I try to export it from bridge as per the books instructions, I get this error message: "After Effects error: Can't import file "Pipes.ffx": unsupported filetype or extension."
Does anyone have an idea as to what's going on? I'm on a mac running mavericks, using the most recent downloads of Affects and Bridge.
Thanks for your help!

Workgroup Bridge and local Wifi Config

Hi all, hoping you can help me with this, just need an other brain as mine is empty as I've been staring at this for too long!!!
What I'm trying to config is to have a standalone local WLAN (Built into a VAN) running on the 2.4ghz and then also have a workgroup bridge on the 5ghz to the corporate lan.
Setup is this:
2960<-->1142(autonomous)   <--Workgroup bridge on 5Ghz--> 1131(Lightweight)<3560>--<5508WLC> (hope that makes sense!!)
So far I have the bridge working, the 1142 connects to a ssid on the 1131 using psk. I can see the 1142 as an assosiated client on the wlc and I can ping the the lan from the 1142 so I'm happy the bridge is working.
Clients connected to the 2.4ghz ssid on the 1142 can only ping through as far as the AP(1142) I can't seem to get the traffic to pass across the bridge, is there something I need to do to link the 2.4 to the 5ghz bridge link?
Any help always appreciated, cheers.

dmantill - Thanks for your link. I have read through and checked my config but my plan is to have a number of clients, all dhcp assigned, connecting to the do0 int for local wlan breakout.
I'm not sure that the passive config will help me there.
Steven - I have enabled the wgb on the do1 int and I am connecting clients on the do0 int for local wlan breakout. Enabling the WGB has not disabled the other radio on my setup.
I was running 7.0.98.0 but have today upgraded to 7.0.98.218 on my WLC but that has not helped.
From what I can tell it looks like my problem just lies with routing traffic across the 2 radios. My local clients can ping as far as the WGB and if I CLI into the WGB AP I can ping the corporate lan on the otherside of the bridge and can also ping from the lan to the WGB. I just cannot seem to get the 2 ssid's to route between each other.
Here's my WGB config, hope this brings some more ideas!!
Cheers,
Jason.

Cisco Aeronet 1400 Wireless Bridge

Shanky and other NetPros,
Good Morning. Shanky, I read your review of the Aeronet 1300, and I was quite impressed. Have you or anyone else done a review of the Aeronet 1400 Wireless Bridge?
I am putting myself into a position to attend the Wireless course offered by my local CNAP College. Until I can get into that class, would someone point me in the direction of some good whitepapers or extended documentation (200+ pages) to bring me up to speed with administration and support of these devices? At my organization, we had a very competent vendor do the install, and we are bringing the management company that will be managing our lease for Cisco Routers and Switches into the
management of the 1400s. I will obviously not be alone. I would like to understand these devices at the level of those folks that I will be calling to troubleshoot. I suspect that I will be fully managing these devices when our lease expires in three years.
Furthermore, does anyone have information on the evolution of the CNAP Wireless course? The Cisco Wireless LAN Support Specialist designation (WLANFE) appears to be discontinued. Does anyone know of the future of any of the CNAP Wireless programs or if a new program is in development? Thank you, and I hope to continue learning from your experience and knowledge.
Regards,
John

Thank you, Beth. Your post was very helpful. I have printed the first two documents and added them to my documentation. Cisco has some very detailed documentation (200+ pages) for other pieces of hardware (switches and routers), and I was hoping there was similar documentation on how to implement, manage, and troubleshoot Aironet Bridges, Routers, and APs. I was looking for something to read that was newer that the Textbook used in the Cisco Networking Academy Wireless class, since the models described in the that text are several generations older. Thank you for your assistance.

I am trying to update Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS6, because it is not opening my CR2 files taken by my Canon 6D. I have tried to go to help > updates, and the software says that it is "Up to Date". However, if I view the plug-in, it says that Camera Raw is only version 7.1. I can not find a direct download for Camera Raw 7.3, only the DNG converter, NOT CAMERA RAW! Please Help!

Did you fix your issue? I am having the same one

Using Adobe Bridge and iPhoto together

I use Adobe Bridge (and Photoshop) to work on my photos. iPhoto is not an option since I shoot in Camera RAW. I also own an Apple TV and want to store all of my photos in iPhoto so they are available to the rest of my family via Apple TV. Has anyone figured out a way to do image manipulation first in Bridge & Photoshop and then have them sent (or later updated) in iPhoto in an automated fashion?
Conceptually, every time I add or change a photo in Bridge or Photoshop, I'd like to convert it to JPG, and add or modify the image in iPhoto.

Also make sure PS's File handing preferences "Macimize PSD and PSB File Compatibility" is set to Always and that there are no alpha channels in the file. An alpha channel will cause the black image that you're referring to.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I can't open CS5 in Windows 7. It tells me "application is locked or you don't have legitimation". Bridge and Camera Raw are OK.

Hi,
     thank you for your answer.
     The original Text photoshop showing me is the following:
     Konnte ein Arbeitsvolumen nicht öffnen, weil die Datei gesperrt ist
oder Sie keine ausreichende Berechtigung haben. Heben Sie den Schutz

auf.
     Sorry I can tell you this only in German.
     After Installation the Version 64 Bit couldn't work because of this
sentence (Windows 7 has 64 Bit Version). The 32 Bit Version worked
without problems. The next day both versions didn't work because of
this Informatiom. Bridge and Camera raw workinjg perfect but photoshop

PS4 rendering very "hot" compared to Bridge and LR2- HELP I am stuck

Have done all kinds of tests and still get a difference nearly equal to setting the vibrance to +50 and the saturation to +6 in LR2 to somewhat equal the look of the imported image in PS2.
Here are the facts:
I have used Bridge to convert the NEFs into DNGs using Camera Standard for the D700 with no other changes;
Lightroom 2 and Bridge give the same rederings in terms of colors and relationships of color to each other. PS4 however, adds lots of yelow, brightens reds and blows highlights. I have opened the file three ways in PS4, three attempts through Bridge with Save and convert, another time with Save and option click, another time with Open. All three methods look equally bad. I have opened the file directly through PS4, not using Bridge. Just as bad.
Now here is the interesting part: when I take spot readings for the image in Bridge and the image in PS4, I get the same numbers.
For example: R,G,B for Bridge: 232,205,162 PS4: 232,205,163.
Should look the same, right?
PS4 Color Settings: Prophoto RGB, Gray gamma 2.2,Dot gain 10%,Convert to working profile, ask for mismatch, Engine: Adobe ACE, all other options not checked.
If I desturate monitor colors by about 15% the image looks closer to Bridge and LR2, but is still more yellow. This is not a good solution for printing reasons, however.
PS4 version 11.0.1 Mac OS/X version: 10.5.8 (not using the latest which is SnowLeopard.)
I have sent the query to Adobe Support, but suspect they'll tell me I don't have support and then there is a time lag, also.
Camera Raw: 5.5.097, PS4 11.01, LR2: 2.5 with Camera Raw 5.5 in the dialog box
WHAT VARIABLE HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED?

Yes, sorry, you did mention that the Zoom has replaced the Netgear. Regardless, if the Zoom is providing the NAT & DHCP services ... which I would assume that it is by default, the AEBSn should be reconfigured as a bridge.
With AEBSn still configured as a bridge, please try the following:
o Power-down the Zoom, AEBSn, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o While the equipment is powered-down, connect one of your computers directly to any available LAN port on the AEBSn using an Ethernet cable.
o Power-up the Zoom; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up (plug-into power) the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer connected by Ethernet.
The computer should now be able to gain Internet access. Please post back your results.

I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
Thanks, Marie

Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".
