To use the lights to find the strongest service provider signal:
1
Before you begin, make sure:
•
The RSU’s power supply is connected to the RSU and to a power source.
•
The Ethernet cable
is
connected to the RSU. The other end of the Ethernet cable
is not
connected to the computer.
2
Set your RSU on a table or shelf in the location you’ve chosen. The RSU must be in an
upright position.
3
Point the back of the RSU directly toward the window.
4
Remove your hands from the RSU. Keep the RSU stationary, in this orientation, for about
five seconds.
The blinking lights indicate the strength of the signal received. The stronger the signal, the
more lights on the RSU blink on and off. Figure 7 illustrates blinking lights.
5
Point the back of the RSU to the right of the starting position. Remove your hands from the
RSU, and let it stand still for about five seconds.
6
Again, note how many lights are blinking while the RSU is in this orientation. The stronger
the signal, the more lights on the RSU blink.
7
Point the back of the RSU to the left of the starting position. Remove your hands from the
RSU, and let it stand still for about 5 seconds. Note how many lights blink while the RSU is
in this orientation.
8
Remembering the strongest signal reported, re-orient the back of the RSU in the direction
that the RSU was pointed when the strongest signal was found.
