Basic Test Setup
6.
Observe the AIR LED of each unit and look for normal status. A normal status is
indicated when the AIR LEDs on the base and the remote unit are both orange. The
status of the AIR LED is indicated as follows.
Note:
If antennas are too close together, the strong transmit signal will cause distortion at
the receiveing unit. You can fine-tune antennas by physically moving the antenna. When
the remote antenna is correctly aligned, the AIR LED is orange, indicating that data from
the base station is being received and acknowledged.
7.
Run the Link Monitor test on the remote unit. See
Setting Link Monitor Remote Station
Rank (Base Station Only)
, page 38
.
Check for RSSI below 40% and BER = 0
.
If you
have problems ensure that the unit is configured to its basic default settings or contact
Wi-LAN customer support.
8.
Disable Link Monitor.
9.
When both AIR LEDs are orange, power down both units and perform the simple
network test. See
Performing a Simple Network Test
, page 13.
