Hi guys,
I know this is not R/S issue but if someone has already implemented the same,
I am new to wireless world; I will appreciate if you guys can answer my
following questions
I have bought two Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge, Mfg: AIR-BR1410A-A-K9-N
with two Cisco Aironet 28dBi Dish Antenna, Model: AIR-ANT58G28SDA
I need to connect two campuses with the distance of 7km, only main campus has
Internet connection, I want all of my clients get DHCP addresses in both
campuses and should be able to use Internet
1. in each campus with Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge which access point
should I use?, if I go to AP 1310 which antenna should I use?, my campuses are
wide enough around 1km, I want to cover each and every area, is there any
omnidirectional outdoor antenna which can work with AP 1310 and give me enough
coverage like 1km?? Then I would be able to use AP 1310 on both ends with
Cisco Aironet 1410 Wireless Bridge.

2. Can I use a bridge like an access point, it stays in bridge mode so I can
use long range antennas because CISCO has categorized antenna with bridge mode
and Access point mode, Access point antennas are very short range but bridge
antennas are very high range, so can it possible to use Cisco Aironet 1410
Wireless Bridge in an access point mode with high gain antenna?

I will appreciate all comments and ideas
