Fine-tuning Antennas
You can fine-tune the antennas by physically moving the antenna. When the remote
antenna is correctly aligned, the AIR LED is orange, indicating appropriate reception and
acknowledgment of sync tokens from the base station. You can use the Receive and
Transmit operating modes to test the link while adjusting the antennas to minimize BER
and lost packets, and maximize received power. You can use the RSSI operating mode to
maximize RSSI.
Once the antennas are adjusted to maximize performance, secure them properly to the
support structures.
Co-locating Units
When Hopper Plus antennas are located on the same mast, you must take care to ensure
the output power from one radio does not overpower another co-located bridge, even if the
units are operating on different channels. Contact Wi-LAN technical support for antenna
and installation assistance when co-locating units.
