Understanding Industrial WLAN – IEEE 802.11
The precise alignment of the antennas is of considerable importance in establishing long range wireless
connections. The more central the receiving antenna is located in the “ideal line” of the transmitting antenna,
the better the actual performance and the effective bandwidth are. If the receiving antenna is outside of this
ideal area, however, significant losses in performance will result.

The current signal quality over a long range wireless connection can be displayed on the device’s LEDs or in
the Moxa monitor in order to help find the best possible alignment for the antennas. The more LED indicators
means the stronger the connection.

In the Moxa monitor, the
connection quality display is
opened with the context menu
once signal monitoring has
commenced. The P2P dialog
displays the absolute values for
the current signal strength and the
maximum value upon starting the
measurement. The development of
the signal strength over time and
the maximum value are displayed.

Initially only one of the two
antennas should be adjusted until
a maximum value is achieved. This
first antenna is then fixed and the
second antenna is then adjusted
to attain the best signal quality.
