Troubleshooting-Installing an RF link - 14 - Issue: 5.3.x
Rev 2
NOTE:
If you are using anything other than the normal SU antenna that has a gain of 18 dBi you will need to
account for the difference in antenna gain yourself. For example if you have an Extender SU with a 23
dBi antenna you will need to add 5 dB to the number, so the example would be 10.2 dB and not 5.2
dB. It also assumes that the SU and AP are set to transmit at the same power. If no modifications have
been made to the channels.conf (international customers only) this is not a problem. If the AP and SU
are not the same you will need to take into account these differences in the calculation.
