You guys have helped me here alot, and I have two more questions.
I just want some verification from more experienced people about my proposed setup.
We have 4 buildings and I am planning on the following wireless setup.
Building #1 - BR350 Root
Building #2 - BR350 non-root
Building #3 - BR350 non-root
Building #4 - BR350 non-root
All non-root 350s will connect to a switch located in each building. Each
building will have at least 2 - 1200 APs.
I can mix and match the 1200AP and 350s with both 802.11a and 802.11b clients??
For the Root 350, the correct antenna to use would be a omnidirectional
antenna ? And for the non-root 350s I use a directional antenna?
Thanks for all info
Jim

Hi Jim
You are on right direction , Center ( hub side ) needs to be root with OMNI DIRECTION and all spoke will be non root with DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA

Antennas - General
Antennas ship with basic hardware to mount antennas (such as U-bolts), but not the mast itself.
Basic mounting hardware is included with all antennas (except patch, which mount directly to wall).
Keep bridge antenna cables as short as possible (significant effect on range/transmission rate).
If possible, use fiber and transceivers to connect Bridge to LAN (lightning doesn?t travel over fiber).
Cables are not plenum-rated.
Use the calculator tool for bridge antennas/cables.
Antenna needs to be polarized in the same manner for
proper operations ,
There are Two planes of RF , E plane and H plane and
they are 90 degree from each other
Horizontal polarization is best for transmissions over water, since vertical polarizations exhibit a 180 degree phase shift and result in multipath pro
blems at the far end of the circuit.
