It will be the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that
an outdoor antenna installation complies with local radio
regulations. Lucent Technologies is not liable for any
damage or violation of government regulations that may
arise from failing to comply with these guidelines.
Antenna Alignment
2
For optimal performance of your wireless link, make sure that the
antennas are properly aligned (facing one another “eye-to-eye”). To
align the antennas:
■
Use a pair of binoculars and/or a map of the area and
compass to point the antennas to one another.
■
Use the Wireless Link Test option of the WaveMANAGER/OR
tool as described in the WaveMANAGER/OR User’s Guide to
analyze the radio link quality.
The Wireless Link Test option will enable you to display the
strength of the WaveACCESS radio signal related to the noise
that may be appear in the signal path.
Looking at the Wireless Link Test screen, you can interactively
optimize antenna alignment if required, by making small
modifications in the antenna orientation.
■
Alternatively, consult a professional Antenna Installation
Service to optimize the antenna alignment.
Omni-directional antennas are characterized by a wide radiation
pattern. Therefore alignment of this type of antennas is less critical
than for directional antennas.
