How to Align Antennas
– 26 –
◆ Point-to-Multipoint Configurations — In a point-to-multipoint configuration
all APs must be aligned with a central AP that may be using external
omnidirectional or sector antennas. The alignment process is the same as in
point-to-point links.
To start, you can just point the AP’s antenna at the central AP unit, using
binoculars or a compass to set the general direction. Then you can adjust the
horizontal and vertical position to find the position where the signal is
strongest and secure the unit in that position.
Note : The receive signal strength of the radio signal on the local and remote unit
can be viewed using the CLI or web management interfaces. Refer the Management
Guide for further information.
