THE
INDICATOR
LIGHTS
TO
FIND
THE
STRONGEST
SERVICE
PROVIDER
SIGNAL
You can find the strongest service provider signal by using the lights on top of the RSU (Figure
6). You can use this method regardless of the operating system your computer runs.
The indicator lights indicate the strength of the signal received while the RSU is in its current
orientation. The stronger the signal, the more lights on the RSU blink on and off. The strongest
signal may be indicated by one or two lights lit. Even though not all five lights are lit, this level of
signal is strong enough for full-speed operation.
To use the lights to find the strongest service provider signal:
1
Before you begin, make sure:
•
Your computer is turned off.
•
The RSU’s power cord is connected to the RSU and to a power source. If your RSU has
power, the lights on the RSU blink on and off.
•
The Ethernet cable
is
connected to the RSU. The other end of the Ethernet cable
is not
connected to the computer.
2
Set your RSU on a table or shelf in the location you’ve chosen. The RSU must be in an
upright position.
3
Point the back of the RSU directly toward the window.
4
Remove your hands from the RSU. Keep the RSU stationary, in this orientation, for about
five seconds.
