Aligning the Antenna Using RSSI Audio Tone
Figure 5- Aligning the Unit
To position the antenna using the RSSI Audio tone, follow these steps:
. Slowly pan the unit to the left and right of the signal path and monitor
the RSSI Audio Tone for peaks in signal strength. Be sure to swing the unit
in an arc of 30 degrees to each side or in a hemispherical cut, while keeping
the desired polarization to ensure that the signal passes through the main and
side lobes of the antenna.
2. Return the unit to the position where the signal is strongest, or in the case of two
similar peaks, halfway between them.
3. Secure the unit by tightening the M4 HEX nut.
After installing and mounting the unit and antennas, please refer to the relevant product
User Guide for more detailed information on configuring the wireless links. For technical
