Appendix C: AIND Alignment
Use this procedure when using the all indoor system WinLink-ANID or
manually aligning two WinLink units.
To achieve the best benefit and link budget from the WinLink™ 1000
installation, the link antennas must be aligned; the two antennas should
exactly face each other.
In order to achieve the best performance, the line of sight must be as clear as
possible with no obstructions between the two sites.
Prior to attempting alignment, install the hardware and software in accordance
with the WinLink Installation and Operation Manual. The figure below shows
the link setup. At least two people are needed to perform the alignment
procedures.
Once the alignment is complete, you are able to evaluate the quality of the
link.
