13-8 Analyzing Wireless Equipment
Antenna Alignment
Use this feature to continuously broadcast packets in order to test optimum antenna alignment. Note
that you must scan the IDU before running this test.
WARNING! This test will broadcast a large amount of test packets across the wireless link. It will
interfere with normal wireless network operation.
To run the antenna alignment test, do the following:
1 From the Analyze menu, choose Antenna Alignment. The Antenna Alignment dialog box
appears.
2 Enter the following information:
• Interface to run test on
Each IDU contains several network interfaces to which it may be connected. The net-
work interfaces are numbered (i.e., 1,2,3...). The number of interface can be found by
choosing Interface Setup from the Setup menu.
• Seconds to run test (0=Stop)
This is simply the length (in seconds) of the antenna alignment test.
• Transmit Rate
This is the speed (measured in Hertz) of the signal transmission.
