Are both antennas approximately aligned? The basic P2P connection has
to be working before fine-tuning can be performed with the aid of
LANmonitor.
Once signal monitoring has commenced, the P2P dialog displays the absolute
values for the current signal strength and the maximum value since starting
the measurement. The development of the signal strength over time and the
maximum value are displayed in a diagram, too.
Initially only one of the two antennas should be adjusted until a maximum
value is achieved. This first antenna is then fixed and the second antenna is
then adjusted to attain the best signal quality.

Measuring wireless bridges
After planning and installation, the wireless bridge can be analyzed to deter-
mine the actual data throughput. Further information about the available
tools and taking measurements can be found in the LANCOM Techpaper "The
performance of outdoor P2P connections", available as a download from
5.4.1
Configuration of P2P connections
In the configuration of point-to-point connections, entries have to be made
for the point-to-point operation mode and the channel selection scheme,
along with the MAC addresses or station names of the remote sites.
Configuration with
LANconfig
For configuration with LANconfig you will find the settings for P2P connec-
tions under the configuration area 'Interfaces' on the 'Wireless LAN' tab.
