We are using Cisco 1242 APs to do short building-to-building bridge shots using 802.11a frequencies. Is there a Cisco-recommended maximum RSSI or SNR value for such a link? I have heard from various link installers that too hot a signal can burn out ...
Fella5, I had not heard of such a thing either, however I thought it might be related to the danger of powering up a radio like the 1242 without a terminator or an antenna of the correct impedance on the connectors. I actually don't know the specs on...
Thank you again for your very prompt response. I still fear I'm not making myself clear enough. The link is up and the connection is solid at 54mbps (the distance in this case must be well under 300m but since I'm hundreds of miles away from the site...
Thank you for your response fella5. After looking through the data sheet I should probably clarify my question. The different output levels, i.e. 50mw, coupled with a 21db gain antenna could put us over the FCC limit of 4000mw at the end of the chain...
