NOTE:
For enhanced security, consider using a misspelled word. This
helps protect against sophisticated hackers who may use a
database of common words (as, for example, in a dictionary
attack) to determine a password. An even better approach is to
use a password that includes some numbers. Making the pass-
word as long as possible (up to the full eight characters) also
improves its security.
AIMING DIRECTIONAL ANTENNAS FOR
MAXIMUM RSSI
The wireless network integrity depends, in a large part, on stable radio
signal levels being received at each end of a data link. In general,
signal levels stronger than –90 dBm provides the basis for reliable
communication that includes a 15 dB fade margin. As the distance
between the AP and Remotes increases, the influence of terrain,
foliage, and man-made obstructions become more influential, and the
use of directional antennas at remote locations becomes necessary.
Directional antennas usually require some fine-tuning of their bearing
to optimize the received signal strength. The transceiver has a built-in
received signal strength indicator (RSSI) that can be used to tell you
when the antenna is in a position that provides the optimum received
signal.
