2.
Slave
Visually aim the Slave
at the
Master. To adjust the
Slave’s position:
a. Loosen the four pole clamp nuts, and rotate the
airFiber antenna on the pole to align the azimuth.
b. Loosen the
six
elevation bolts, and use the hex nut
on
the elevation rod to adjust the elevation.
3. Check to see if a link is established. Ensure that the LINK
LED is solidly lit green and the Signal LEDs of the Slave
are displaying signal levels.
4.
Slave
Aim the Slave
at the
Master to achieve the
strongest signal level on the Master.
Note:
Refer to “Signal LEDs” on page 2 for
details on the signal values.
Note:
Maximum signal strength can best be
achieved by iteratively sweeping through both
azimuth and elevation.
5.
Master
Aim the Master
at the
Slave to achieve the
strongest signal level on the Slave.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you achieve an optimal link,
with all four Signal LEDs solidly lit. This ensures the best
possible data rate between the airFiber X radios.
7. Lock the alignment on both airFiber antennas by
tightening all the nuts and bolts.
8. Observe the Signal LEDs of each airFiber X radio
to ensure that the values remain constant while
tightening the nuts and bolts. If any LED value changes
during the locking process, loosen the nuts and bolts,
finalize the alignment of each airFiber antenna again,
and retighten the nuts and bolts.
