Question about aironet 1400 bridge

We are currently trying to set up a link
across the street using 2 bridges. My concern is more of a mounting one and what needs to be visible for the link to work
We are 13 stories up ..and the building across the street is 11 stories up...
We have purches the 9.5 dbi sector antenna. Can I keep the Bridge itself
on the inside and just mounth the antenna
on the outside? While reading the doc, it appeared that the Bridge itself had an antenna

Hi Richard,
The 1400 can be ordered in two models as shown below (with either one the Bridge itself will be mounted outdoors);

  • Aironet 1400 Bridge with IAS

    Hi,
    If the 1400 root bridge is configured for EAP, what are the options for EAP authentication methods to be configured on a Microsoft IAS radius server in order to authenticate the 1400 non-root bridge?
    LEAP is out since it is not supported on IAS, so what are the available options other than using static WEP keys?
    Thanks

    According to
    http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm  (701)
    the 1410 is not on the list.  Now this could be because the 1410 is EOL.

  • Question about TC setup, bridge mode and security...

    Hello All
    I need some help...
    Have bought a 1 Tb TC to use with my existing ethernet/wireless all-Mac home network but have some specific queries.
    The system is set-up as follows:
    Cable modem > connected by ethernet cable to > 8-way Ethernet switch
    Connected via ethernet cable to the 8-way switch are: one MacBook (in another part of the house) and the TC (via its WAN socket).
    Elsewhere in the house, and _all connected wirelessly_ are:
    iMac G5
    Powerbook G4
    hi-fi (connected via an Airport Express)
    Airport Extreme basestation to which a HP Laserjet is connected via ethernet.
    Question:
    Before buying the TC, I used a spare Airport Express basestation in its place to act as the 'main' basestation and the IP addresses of each device on the network were 10.0.0.1, 2, 3, etc. I had the impression that my home network was not "seen" by the outside world as a consequence of this.
    Now, the TC seems only to work when in 'bridge' mode and it seems that the IP addresses are 196.xxx.x.100, 101, 102 etc. Does this mean that these devices are now visible to the outside world. Have I compromised my network security? I am worried that the outside world may have access to the contents of my TC, although my TC is password protected and the wireless network is 'closed'. What else should I be doing?
    Finally, should I have set up the network so that the cable modem feeds to TC directly, with the 8-way ethernet switch coming off one of the ethernet sockets on the TC?
    In all honestly, the instructions in the manual and the help guide are less than clear.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    Section 4, here are my thoughts.
    1. Since you are currently seeing individual IP addresses like 196.xxx.xxx.100, etc., it sounds like your modem is also acting as a router. This also seems to be the case since the Time Capsule is only working in bridged mode (it wouldn't work in Share a Public IP address if another device is assigning private DHCP addresses). Now, you could still allow the Time Capsule to act as a DHCP server on your private network by enabling Connection Sharing as Distribute a range of IP addresses. This will create a private network within your private network where all the devices that are connected to your Time Capsule can see each other. If you leave it in bridged mode then you allow your cable modem to assign DHCP addresses and all devices that are connected to the Time Capsule or to your ethernet switch are on the same network.
    2. Assuming your cable modem is acting as a router you shouldn't have to worry about security, although you will have to access your modem's settings to make sure port forwarding isn't enabled and that the firewall is turned on (although I'm sure it is). I personally would plug the ethernet switch into the LAN port of the Time Capsule and allow the WAN port of the Time Capsule to be plugged into the cable modem. I also would just leave the Time Capsule in bridged mode as well, that's what I do for my own personal network.

    Hi Jeff
    I copy the configuration of the bridge. This is a new bridge that I setup as a role non-root bridge. with the new default configuration, as soon as I changed the role to non-root bridge, the 802.11A interface is down and disabled. Is it normal operation and how do I enable it back? any helps I am really appreciated that

  • Aironet 1400 Point to Multipoint Bridging

    Hello Everybody
    I`m already desinging a Wireless Point to Multipoint Bridging with Aironet 1400. I was Wondering if on the Central point the 1400 should has a external omnidireccional anntena to support all the others bridges... that is: this AP will be the multipoint bridge.
    Could I use all the 1400 AP with integrated anntenas and get that the Central AP work in a multipoint configuration?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Cisco Aironet 1400 has a model with integrated 22.5 dBi patch array antenna, the AIR-BR1410A-A-K9.
    The integrated radio and high-gain integrated patch array antenna is used in point-to-point links and the non-root nodes of point-to-multipoint networks.
    You can (need to) use the external omnidirectional AIR-ANT58G9VOA-N antenna type for your N-type root bridge unit (AIR-BR1410A-A-K9-N).
    Basically, these models are ideal for each other in both point-to-point & point-to-multipoint connectivity scenarios.
    Cisco 1400 N-type is recommended to use the following external antenna type:
    * 9.0 dBi vertically polarized omni antenna --> you need this
    * 9.5 dBi sector antenna with support for vertical or horizontal linear polarization
    * 28.0 dBi dish antenna with support for vertical or horizontal linear polarization

  • Question about DNG converter in Bridge CS4

    Hello,
    I just installed Photoshop CS4, When I updated, it downloaded a hefty update (199 megs), so my setup now is:
    Win XP pro
    Bridge 3.0.0.464
    Camera RAW 5.7
    Photoshop CS4 11.0.2
    My Camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ150 ( 2011 vintage)
    I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter 6.6.0.261
    Every thing seems to be working fine so far, except:
    In Bridge when I "get Photos from Camera" the DNG conversion doesn't work. When I use the standalone converter it works fine.
    From reading past material on this forum I am assuming this is due to the fact that Bridge is older than my camera, and doesn't recognize the format.
    The questions:
    1. Does Bridge have its own built in DNG converter that is not upgradeable separately?
    2. If 1 is correct, is there a way to point Bridge to the location of the standalone converter so the work flow can be optimized.
    3. Since Bridge is not doing the conversion, but only importing the files, does the "Apply metadata" section of that window actually do anything? Should I bother to fill in any of those boxes?
    Thanks for any help.

    I posted a similar question quite a while ago, and what I learned was that Bridge has a DNG converter built in, but it's using ACR to read the file before it can convert. So you need ACR support for your camera.
    AFAIK there's no way to point Bridge to a standalone DNG converter.
    I suggested an updateable DNG converter plugin for Bridge, don't know why nobody listened...I thought it was an excellent idea
    As for the metadata, you just have to try. I don't know if it can write metadata when it can't read the file.

  • Questions about ActiveX Bridge and SWT

    Hi !
    I found few weeks ago the www.reallyusefulcomputing.com site answering my question about Java & Macro of MSWord. Now I've found two steps that I am not able to overcome.
    First, when I build a simple application and I have internal libraries to use, am I compelled to place the jars in the lib/ext directory of the Java Runtime Directory? I have many difficulties in placing a convenient class-path in the manifest file. Why does the application ignore the manifest string?
    The second problem (and the biggest one) is that I am trying to build an SWT java-bean-application but I have problems during runtime. Is it possible to use this technology for my software or am I compelled to use AWT and SWING?
    I really hope you can help me.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Encrypting Aironet 1410 bridge link using multiple VLANs

    I've looked at the documentation available for Aironet 1400 series, and still would like to see a single document showing an example of
    the best encryption/authentication available for bridge links using multiple VLANs.
    As I understand it, 1400 series can support WPA-PSK using AES, which would work for me.  I just can't picture how to integrate chapters 9 and 10 for the 'WEP and WEP Features' + 'Configuring Authentication Types' instructions.
    I'm looking either for an example config, or a step-by-step that did all steps consecutively.
    Thanks

    What doc are you refering to?  If you want to encrypt the link from root bridge to non-root bridge, then WPA/TKIP-PSK is what you should use.  Here is a link to how to setup your link ssid to WPA: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/bridge/1400/12.2_15_JA/configuration/guide/p15auth.html#wp1044935
    Don't worry about the example they show on the WEP, just use the configuration from the above link for your encryption.
    Configuring a VLAN
    Configuring your bridge to support VLANs is a five-step process:
    1. Create subinterfaces on the radio and Ethernet interfaces.
    2. Enable 802.1q encapsulation on the subinterfaces and assign one subinterface as the native VLAN.
    3. Assign a bridge group to each VLAN.
    4. (Optional) Enable WEP on the native VLAN. <-- Use WPA-PSK
    5. Assign the bridge's SSID to the native VLAN.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/bridge/1400/12.2_15_JA/configuration/guide/p15vlan.html
    Here is an example of vlan 1 (native) will be your management and your wireless link.  vlan 10 & 20 will pass through the link.
    BR# configure terminal
    BR(config)# interface dot11radio0.1
    BR(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 1 native
    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 1
    BR(config-subif)# exit
    BR(config)# interface fastEthernet0.1
    BR(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 1 native
    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 1
    BR(config)# interface fastEthernet0.10
    BR(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 10
    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 10
    BR(config)# interface fastEthernet0.20
    BR(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 20
    BR(config-subif)# bridge group 20
    BR(config-subif)# exit
    BR(config)# interface dot11radio0

  • Aironet 1400 Security

    I have users offsite connected to the main network via Aironet 1400s. In the past we have used port security statements on a 2950 to allow only specific Mac addresses on the link.
    I have had to setup a second vlan at this remote location and as a result I have trunked the port, which prevents me from using port security statements.
    I thought about using a RADIUS server, but after doing some reading it looks like it will only authenticate the non-root bridge, not the clients connected to it.
    I considered using access lists but I want to be able to log any denials/security violations, and this is not an option when using extended (700) access lists.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You can configure the AP to authenticate the users,

  • Questions about 3702i and WSM (WSSI)

    I have several questions about the 3702i AP and the WSM that do not seem to be answered in the data sheets/documentation.
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    1. Is the WSM officially supported on the 3702 AP? The documentation seems to conflict on this.
    For example, at the top of the WSM data sheet: "Flexible add-on third radio module for the Cisco Aironet 3600i or Cisco Aironet 3600e Series Access Points". Then later on in the page graphic shows the 3700 series radios too. I have found multiple pages that have similar conflicting information.
    2. Can the WSM be used WITHOUT MSE and Cisco Prime? If so, are there any limitations?
    3. How does the licensing work? Where is the license installed -- WLC, MSE, Prime? Do ANY of the features work without the license?
    3a. How do you order the license? The SKU listed on the data sheet (L-WIPS-MM-1AP) is not a valid part number in CCW.
    4. Is it possible to do sniffing with a WSM? (the idea being not having to dedicate an AP to sniffing, or taking down a client-serving AP to sniff)
    Thank you.

    Ok, so you are talking about off-channel scanning, which is actually a very short duration 50ms, that the AP is actually off-channel to scan.

    Are you thinking of this bullet point?
     Access points with wireless security module: The Cisco Aironet® Access Point Module for Wireless Security aggressively scans all channels without affecting the data-serving radios in the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
    To me, that's just saying that the WSM is scanning and not interferring with the AP's normal radios.

  • A few questions about Patone colors

    I have a few questions about patone colors since this is the first time I use them. I want to use them to create a letterhead and business cards in two colors.
    1)
    I do understand that the uncoated is more washed out than the coated patone colors. I heard that this is because the way paper absorbs the inkt. This is why the same inkt results in different colors on different paper (right?). My question is why is the patone uncoated black so much different than normal black (c=0 m=0 y=0 k=100) or rich black:
    When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black colors. Why is it that I cannot have that dark black color with patone colors? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the Patone color. It just looks way too grey for me.
    2) For a first mockup, I want to print the patone colors as cmyk (since I put like 10 different colors on a page for fast comparison). I know that these cmyk colors differ from the patone colors and that I cannot get a 100% representation. But is there a way to convert patone to cmyk values?
    I hope that some of you can help me out with my questions.
    Thanks.

    You can get Pantone's CMYK tints in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > Color Books > PANTONE+ Color Bridge Coated or Uncoated) but in my view, what's the point?  If you're printing to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use Pantone's CMYK so-called "equivalents."
    Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, many of which fluoresce beyond the gamut limits of RGB and especially CMYK. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. It outlined pigmented ink formulations for each of its colors.
    Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The CMYK color gamut is MUCH SMALLER than what many mixed inks, printed on either coated or uncoated papers can deliver. When you specify non-coated Pantone ink in AI, according to Pantone's conversion tables, AI tries to "approximate" what that color will look like on an uncoated sheet, using CMYK. -- In my opinion, this has little relevance to real-world conditions, and is to be avoided in most situations.
    If your project is going to be printed on a printing press with spot Pantone inks, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the screen colors; rather get a Pantone swatch book and look at the actual inks on both coated and uncoated papers, according to the stock you will use on the press.
    With the printing industry rapidly dwindling in favor of the web and inkjet printers, Pantone has attempted to extend its relevance beyond the pull-date by publishing (in books and in software alliances, with such as Adobe) its old PMS inks, and their supposed LAB and CMYK equivalents. I say "supposed" because again, RGB monitors and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you're going to print your project on a printing press, Pantone inks are still very relevant as "spot colors."
    I also set my AI Preferences > Appearance of Black to both Display All Blacks Accurately, and Output All Blacks Accurately. The only exception to this might be when printing on a digital printer, where there should be no registration issues.
    Rich black in AI is a screen phenomenon, unless in Prefs > Appearance of Black, you also specify "Output All Inks As Rich Black," -- something I would NEVER do if outputting for an actual printing press. I always set my blacks in AI to "Output All Blacks Acurately" when outputting for a press. If you fail to do this, then on the press you will see any minor registration problems, with C, M, and Y peeking out, especially around black type.  UGH!
    Good luck!  :+)
