On the Backbone radio, the Antenna Pointing Tool prompts for packet size and sample
interval, as well as whether or not you want to permit roaming during the test. The MAC
address of the current Master is displayed. If roaming is enabled, you can move the Back-
bone radio antenna and synchronize with a different Master. The last parameter displayed
indicates if the Backbone radio is synchronized to a Master.
After answering all prompted questions, the tool will run until stopped so that you can experi-
ment with various placements of the antenna until the optimum location is determined.
The Master Search Tool, under Backbone Radio Diagnostics, searches for Master units
within range of the Backbone radio. After running, a directed site survey is immediately
launched. The Master Search Tool prompts for both length of time to run the tool and
length of time to run the site survey.
The Master Search Tool displays the MAC address, Master Name, Channel, and
Subchannel of all Masters it finds. The site survey displays the Kbytes/sec and RSSI values
between the Backbone radio and the Master.
