2.3.3 Antennas for Outdoor Applications
The BreezeNET DS.11 series can be used in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
configurations.
2.3.3.1 Point-to-Point
A point-to-point link is based on the use of one Base station with external antennas
(WBS-DS.11) and one adapter. The DS.11 and the WBC-DS.11 must be equipped
with one or two directional antennas. The necessary antenna gain depends on the
required range and performance.
2.3.3.2 Point-to-Multipoint
Setting up a point-to-multipoint link requires the use of an WBS-DS.11 equipped
with omni-directional antennas and a remote WBC-DS.11 equipped with high-gain
directional antennas.
2.3.3.3 Antenna Alignment
Low gain antennas do not require alignment due to their very wide radiation
pattern. High gain antennas have a narrow beamwidth necessitating an alignment
procedure in order to optimize the link.
Check antenna alignment by using the LED indicators on the front panel of
whichever adapter is used in the link. These LED indicators provide indication of
reception quality.
To perform antenna alignment:
1. Assemble antennas according to the assembly instructions included with the
antenna set.
2. Mount the antennas as high as possible.
3. Connect the coaxial cable to the WBS-DS.11 at the main site.
4. Connect the coaxial cable to the WBC-DS.11 at the remote site.
