Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment

The radios on outdoor units have much higher Tx power levels than radios on commercial

available indoor AP units. When you test high power radios in a link, you must follow certain

criteria as shown below to protect radio PA (Power Amplifier) and avoid test failure due to

exceeding maximum input signal level. At levels shorter than minimum operating range of 20

feet, packet error rate (PER) performance is degraded.

•

Must Install Antennas to all MeshAP Antenna Connectors BEFORE power on the unit.

This is to protect radio's PA (Power Amplifier.

•

Use 20dB Attenuators with all Antennas when doing the test indoor at short distance.

Usually, in this test arrangement of 20dB attenuators for all antennas, 2m distance

effectively represents 200m distance.
