Write down the settings you configure on the 

Wireless

 tab. 

You will need to enter the same settings on the airFiber 
AF-5 at the other end of your PtP link. The exceptions are 
as follows:
• 

Wireless Mode 

Configure one airFiber AF-5 as the 

Master

 and the other as the 

Slave

• 

TX and RX Frequencies 

The 

TX Frequency

 on the 

Master should be used as the 

RX Frequency

 on the Slave, 

and vice versa.

For 

Half Duplex

 mode (default), the 

TX

 and 

RX Frequencies

 

can be the same or different to suit local interference.
