To perform a link test enter a number into the field labeled “
Duration ”. The duration is the number of
seconds the RF link will be tested. Start the link test by clicking the “
Start Test ” button. The test will
now run for the set duration. If the web page is not set to automatically refresh, click
the “ Refresh
Display
” button to see the results. For a Stinger System link to be considered acceptable it is
necessary for the efficiencies of the link test to be greater than 90% in both the uplink
and downlink
direction. It is recommended that when a new link is installed that a link test be
executed to ensure
that the efficiencies are within recommended
guidelines.

The key fields are:

• Downlink RATE, bits per second
• Uplink RATE, bits per second
• Downlink Efficiency, percent
• Uplink Efficiency, percent

Alignment


The Alignment web page contains tools to assist in the alignment of a subscriber module to an
access point module. There are two modes that can be utilized when aligning a module: 1) RSSI
only and 2) normal alignment mode.

RSSI Only is a mode where the module will report the signal strength based on the amount of
energy
present at a selected frequency. The subscriber module does not have to be registered to
an
access point module for information on signal strength to be reported back. This can simplify the
aiming process for long links when the Stinger passive reflector is being used.

To utilize RSSI only mode:

• Choose the frequency to monitor from the pick list (this would be the same frequency that
the access point module is transmitting on)
• Click the radio button to highlight “ Enable ” on RSSI Only mode
• Click “ Enable Aiming Mode ”
