Auto..: During alignment, the wireless units use algorithms to calculate
link range. To implement automatic ranging, select a value that
corresponds to the estimated maximum range of the link:
Auto 0 to 40 km (0 to 25 miles).
Auto 0 to 100km (0 to 62 miles).
Auto 0 to 200km (0 to 125 miles).
Target Range: During alignment, the wireless units use the approximate
link distance (entered in Target Range) to calculate link range. The main
advantage of Target Range mode is that it reduces the time taken by the
units to range.
If preferred, range functions can be configured to operate in miles, as
described in
Target Range
Only available when Ranging Mode is set to Target Range.
The approximate distance between the two wireless units to within
±
1 km. Enter the same value at both ends of the link.
