4. 

Slave

 Aim the Slave at the Master to achieve the strongest signal level on the

Master.

Note:

 Refer to the Signal LEDs section 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 radios.

7. Lock the alignment on both airFiber antennas by tightening all the nuts and bolts.
8. Observe the Signal LEDs of each airFiber 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.
