the maximum SNR reading until the reading clearly drops and continues to drop to lower level side-
lobes. Adjust back until the maximum is again attained. Then repeat for the near end of the link.
8. Repeat steps 7 and 8 above to guarantee optimum alignment for maximum signal strength.
9. CAUTION: It is possible to obtain a false peak SNR reading from the signal of a side-lobe. Up to
three different side-lobes on either side of the main lobe may give false peak alignment readings. For
this reason, it is important that a wide sweep in both azimuth and elevation is made in order to identify
these false peak SNR readings so to zero in on the true peak alignment reading due to the main
antenna beam.
10. Tighten the two Azimuth adjustment bolts while observing the SNR reading to ensure the azimuth
alignment does not change while tightening.
11. Tighten the Elevation adjustment bolt while observing the SNR reading to ensure the elevation
alignment does not change while tightening.
12. Test the Link. Prior to placing the link in service for network traffic, the link should be tested using
standard network procedures.
