Fig. 7.9 - Alignment
The user is warned that the proprietary Fluidmesh TPC algorithm (see Section 7.8) will be disabled
during the alignment process so as to avoid unwanted interactions with the tools. The antenna
alignment tool consists of a real-time graph and a bar which report the average signal strength
and the current signal strength detected at the local unit receiver, respectively. During the physical
antenna alignment process, the graph and the bar can be monitored to obtain optimal link quality.
7.10 Frequency Scan Tool
The Scan Tool page provides a powerful tool for analyzing the status of the radio interference
in the available channels. The channel scan can be started on each radio separately by means of the
buttons at the top of the page (see Fig. 7.10). As soon as the scanning is complete, a bar chart
will appear indicating the current interference level and the overall quality of each channel.
As shown in Fig. 7.10, each bar in the chart consists of two sections. The black section represents the
amount of interference detected in the channel, whereas the colored one gives a qualitative idea of
