1 About this Guide
This Guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your Cisco Aironet 1430 Series
Wireless Bridge (hereafter called the bridge). This guide also provides bridge alignment instructions
and limited troubleshooting procedures.
The Cisco Aironet 1430 Series Wireless bridge is
an updated replacement for the Cisco Aironet 1400
Series Wireless Bridge. The 1430 series is a 802.11a wireless bridge supporting point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint applications operating in the 4.9-, 5.6-, and 5.8-GHz spectrum. The bridge
delivers long-range, high capacity, and is easy to deploy. The bridge supports 40 MHz channelization
in the 5.6- and 5.8-GHz bands to deliver data rates at or above 130 Mbps. The bridge also supports
external and integrated antenna configurations for various deployment scenarios for enterprise and
commercial customer applications.
The bridge is deployed as an autonomous point-to-point bri
dge, providing intelligent network services
in a simple autonomous environment. Cisco’s wireless controller software (WCS) management
provides centralized management and monitoring services for the bridge.
