3. Position the device until the maximum RSSI link quality reading is achieved. A single RSSI LED indicates
the device is at minimum synchronized with the base station. For information about the RSSI LED indicators,
refer to
Section 1.2, “Configuration Ports and Indicator LEDs”
If the device is not synchronized with the base station, make sure all parameters are configured properly.
If the expected link quality still cannot be achieved, try to improve the reception quality by placing the device
at a higher point or in an alternate location.
4. Make sure the antenna is properly grounded according to local standards.
Section 2.3
Assembling the PoE Cable
The following describes how to assemble the PoE cable using the supplied connector kit. The ODU CPE uses a
