In the initial hardware installation, you visually aimed the antennas at 
each other. Though a good first step, this does not provide optimum 
antenna alignment, signal quality, or maximum throughput. To fine-tune 
your antennas, we recommend that you perform the following procedures 

at both ends of a link:   
 

1.  Start the Signal Strength Monitor on one end of a link. (We’ll call this 

Side A.) The RSSi values from Side B should be displayed in the Telnet 
screen at Side A. 

2.  Using your communications device (i.e., cell phone, two-way radio), 

direct the Side B installer to adjust both horizontal and vertical antenna 

alignment using the appropriate tools. The installer should physically 
adjust Side B to the highest possible average value using the data 
relayed from Side A.  A 20-second sweep of the antenna at side B, 
from left to right, and then a 20 second sweep up and down, should be 
enough to find the strongest received signal from side B. 

3.  When the installer at Side A is confident that the highest possible 

average RSSi values are being consistently displayed on the screen at 
Side A, the installer at Side A should instruct the Side B installer to 
secure the unit. 

4.  Repeat this process for Side A using the steps just described. 

 

 

Leave the antenna real-time signal strength monitor running until the Side B 
antenna or outdoor unit is securely fastened to ensure that the RSSi values 
don’t change, and remain optimized.
