7.9 Antenna Alignment Tools and Physical Statis-
tics
The antenna alignment and stats page provides a powerful tool which
can be used to check the current link status during the normal unit oper-
ation and the physical installation of the antennas. Specifically, the web
page shows the list of links detected by the local unit and the relative signal
strengths (in dBm) on each radio as shown in Fig. 7.8(a).
To perform an accurate antenna alignment for a specific link, click on the
“Align” button to open the antenna alignment tool as depicted in Fig. 7.8(b).
