indicate power to the unit. The system is now ready to be configured. If the Pwr LED is
not on and/or the “Fault” LED illuminates red, there is a problem with the terminal. Refer
to the diagnostics section, Section 9 on page 46, for further details on how to address
system faults.
7.5. Aligning The Antenna
Once the antenna is mounted and the terminal is installed, the antenna must be aligned
in both the azimuth and elevation planes. For the base station antenna or first PTP
antenna, position the antenna in the desired direction. Elevation alignment is
accomplished by loosening the two bolts attached to the mounting bracket, as shown in
Figure 13 below, and angling the antenna so it is aligned towards the remote terminal.
The azimuth alignment is accomplished by loosening the bolts on the antenna bracket
and rotating the antenna until alignment is achieved. For basic tuning using actual signal
strength, an alignment "buzzer" (intermittent tone sweep generator) or a voltage pin is
available on the T-58 Transceiver. Faster repetitions of the tone sweep indicate better
alignment. The buzzer is enabled via the software interface described in section 8.1.
