USING THE SOFTWARE-ASSISTED METHOD TO FIND
THE STRONGEST SIGNAL
Note: It may be beneficial to have two people perform this
procedure. One person will monitor software statistics inside the
house. The other person will rotate the OSU outside the house.
To scan for the strongest signal from your service provider:
1 Install the LinkMonitor program as described in the section
“Installing the LinkMonitor program” on page 19.
2 On the LinkMonitor window, click Start Scan.
3 Return to the OSU on the side of the house.
4 Rotate the OSU along the adjustment arch.
5 The LinkMonitor program searches for a signal from your service
provider. In the Channel Score group, the strength of the signal
received at the starting position is indicated in two ways:
• The indicator bar shows varying levels of red, yellow, and
green. Red indicates weak signal strength, yellow indicates
moderate signal strength, and green indicates strong signal
strength.
•The Current Score field shows the signal strength. During
this procedure, the program compares the Current Score to
the Best Score. Best Score indicates the strongest signal the
program has ever seen during the scanning procedure.
6 After about five seconds, point the front of the OSU to the right
of the starting position.
7 Rotate the OSU along the arch again.
The software program determines and reports the strength of
the signal that the OSU receives while the OSU is in its current
orientation.
8 After about five seconds, note the strength of the signal received
at its current position.
9 Rotate the OSU along the arch. The program determines and
reports the strength of the signal that the OSU receives while the
OSU is in its current orientation.
