2.6 Antenna
Alignment
The AN-80i includes both an audible antenna alignment tool and a web-based alignment
tool to assist in pointing the antenna.
2.6.1 Web Page Alignment
The most reliable method for obtaining optimum performance from a wireless link is to
align the antenna to the position providing the highest RSSI value and the best SINARD
ratio.
The web page alignment tool provides continuous updates (1 second intervals) of the
measured RSSI (received signal strength indication) and SINARD (Signal to noise and
distortion ratio). This web page can be accessed from a laptop computer and most web-
enabled handheld devices.
Use the following URL to access the AN-80i alignment web page:
http:// [AN-80i IP Address] / usr / aa.html
For example:
http://192.168.20.30/usr/aa.html
2.6.2 Audible
Alignment
The signal will sound infrequently when a low signal is detected, and more often as the
signal strength increases. The audible signal is enabled and disabled through the user
interface:
Web: See
Antenna Alignment Buzzer Enable
on page 22
Telnet: See
buzzer
in CLI Set commands on page 68
The audible antenna alignment tool provides only rough adjustment for the subscriber
antennas. It is recommended to monitor the RSSI measurements to achieve maximum
signal strength when performing fine adjustments to the subscriber antenna. Refer to the
AN-80i Installation Guidelines for detailed instructions.
