Preparation for Antenna Alignment for Edge
Before aligning antennas ensure:
• The ODUspes are powered up at both ends of the link.
• Transmit and receive frequencies are correctly set.
• Transmit powers are correctly set and transmit mute is turned off.
NOTE:
If frequency and/or power settings are not correct for the
application, interference may be caused to other links in the same
geographical area. If in doubt, check link configuration as a priority
on initial power-on, and reconfigure as necessary.
Signal Strength Measurement for Edge
Two receive signal-strength indicators are provided to assist antenna alignment, RSL
in the Portal performance screen, and the RSSI voltage at the BNC connector on the
ODUspe.
Refer to:
