How to Align Antennas
– 29 –
◆ Point-to-Multipoint Configurations — In a point-to-multipoint configuration
all SMC2891W-AN units must be aligned with a central SMC2890W-AN unit that
may be using external omnidirectional or sector antennas. The alignment
process is the same as in point-to-point links, but only the SMC2891W-AN units
require the adjustment for proper alignment.
To start, you can just point the SMC2891W-AN antenna at the central
SMC2890W-AN unit, using binoculars or a compass to set the general direction.
Then you can adjust the horizontal and vertical position to find the position
where the signal is strongest and secure the unit in that position.
Note : The receive signal strength of the radio signal on the local and remote unit
can be viewed using the CLI or web management interfces. Refer the Management
Guide for further information.
