Antenna Alignment Test
The antenna alignment test measures signal strength and quality between a
repeater access point and other wireless networking devices. For best results
during the antenna alignment test, turn off all wireless networking devices within
range of the access point except the device with which you are trying to align the
access point’s antenna. Watch the constantly updated display in the Alignment
Test window as you adjust the antenna.
You can run the antenna alignment test only on access points configured with the
following Role in Radio Network settings:
•
Repeater Access Point
•
Site Survey Client
To run the antenna alignment test on a root access point, change the Role in Radio
Network setting on the Express Setup page.
Choose the number of seconds you want the alignment test to run from the
Antenna Alignment Test Timeout pull-down menu. Choose a test duration of 15,
30, 45, or 60 seconds.
The Antenna Alignment Test window appears when you click
Start Antenna
Alignment Test
, and the access point begins to send broadcast probe packets.
Wireless networking devices with the same SSID as the access point send probe
responses to the access point, and the access point measures the quality of the
signal between the devices.

window.
