SIGNAL

Your RSU is equipped with an internal directional antenna. To provide the best service, the RSU 

searches for the strongest signal transmitted by your service provider. 
You can find the strongest signal from your service provider by using one of the following 

methods:

Indicator light method (available for any operating system)

Software-assisted method (available for Windows operating systems only)

Regardless of the method you use, you need to understand which sides of the RSU is the back 

side, which contains the antenna. The back side of the RSU is the side without a logo printed on it. 
Figure 5 illustrates the RSU’s back side.
