11.3.1 Status Page
The link loss calculation presented on the Status Page on the management interface has to be modified to allow
for the increased antenna gains at each end of the link. The manufacturing process of the connectorized 45
Mbps Backhaul configures the standard hardware of the unit for use with external antennas. The installer is
prompted, as part of the installation process, to enter the gain of the external antenna(s) and cable losses at each
end of the link. Peer-2-Peer messaging is used to pass the effective antenna gain to each end of the link so that
the link loss calculations can be correctly computed.
