5.15 ALIGNING THE 60 GHZ ANTENNAS
In preparation for the actual alignment process, carry out the following steps:
1. Power-on both radios on both sides using either the PoE or the direct 48 Vdc power connection.
There is no ON/OFF switch and once connected to the power source, the radio will start the
boot process. During the boot process the green Power LED on the back panel is blinking and
solid green after the boot process is completed. This process will take about 90 seconds. Verify
that the green
POWER LED on the user panel inside the radio housings are lit at both radios.
2. After the boot process is completed, verify that the RF ON LED and the ALIGNMENT LED are
lit. In case the alignment LED is off, please switch the system into alignment mode
using the web browser interface (see Chapter 6.3) or execute the appropriate
command via the COMMAND LINE INTERFACE (see Chapter 7.)
3. There are two options to connect to the radio and read the RSSI values:
a. Via digital voltmeter - Connect the digital voltmeter to the 2-pin connector located at
the side of the radio housing using the RSSI Alignment Cables included with the system.
Make sure that the digital voltmeter readout can be clearly seen during the installation
process (e.g. Tape it to the installation pole).
b. Via Bluetooth connection - Use an ANDROID (Version 4.4.2 or higher) and Bluetooth
capable based smart phone or tablet and download the free LightPointe BLE Tool from
the Goggle apps store https://play.google.com/store . Installing the software will require
to grant access to the phone’s Bluetooth connection (see Chapter 8 for more details).
After installation of the sopftware is complted, please reboot/restart
your phone/tablet to ensure proper operation of the application.
