Antenna Alignment
Usually, low gain antennas do not require alignment due to their very
wide radiation pattern. High gain antennas, including the integral
antenna of DS.5800 units, have a narrow beamwidth necessitating an
alignment procedure in order to optimize the link.
Check the antenna alignment by using the RSSI bar on the bottom
panel of the RB-DS.5800 unit.
To align the antenna:
1. Confirm that the units at both ends of the link are receiving power.
2. Synchronize the units by aligning the antennas at the central and
remote sites until maximum signal quality is obtained. Check the
signal quality RSSI bar on the bottom panel of the RB-DS.5800. The
first LED lights red to indicate that the unit is working. The
remaining nine LEDs light green to indicate the signal strength. The
stronger the signal, the more LEDs are lit. Rotate the antenna to the
left or right until you reach the point of maximum RSSI reading.
Make sure that at all times the front of the antenna faces the general
direction of the BU-DS.5800.
