Using the software-assisted method to find the strongest signal

Note: It is beneficial to have two people perform this procedure if you want to use the

subscriber’s computer instead of your own laptop computer. One person will monitor

software statistics inside the building. The other person will rotate the OSU outside the

building.

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 12.

2 On the LinkMonitor window, click Start Scan.

3 Return to the OSU on the side of the building.

4 Slowly rotate the OSU along the adjustment arch. Stop the rotation at every 15 degrees for

5 seconds.

Note the score reported by the LinkMonitor program, as described in step 5.

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.
