Chapter 3 Hardware Installation

After powering up the wireless bridge, align the integrated antenna to point in the approximate 

direction of the remote bridge antenna. 

If the antenna is at a significant angle, use binoculars, satellite global positioning system (GPS) 

or reference objects to detect the remote bridge or antenna, and then manually adjust the 

horizontal and vertical positions accordingly. To verify whether the two antennas are correctly 

pointed to each other, ping the remote wireless bridge. 

Positioning antenna is to align the local antenna to reach maximum signal strength. Using 

“

” to measure signal strength is convenient and appropriate for most 

installations, but note that this method is only available in “

” mode. 

To use “

”, follow the steps bellow: 

1.  Login the Web-based management interface of wireless bridge; 

2. Open 

“

”, by clicking “

”, “

” 

window will popup. Set the target RSSI and click “

” to begin alignment. If the RSSI is 

below -70 dBm, align the antenna by panning the antenna from side to side and tilting up 

and down while observing the RSSI value. By doing so, you will be able to know where is 

the best position for the antenna to reach its maximum signal strength. During adjustment, 

the device will send out the beep sound, assisting you with the alignment. 

 

3.  After the two integrated antennas are well positioned, secure the bridge mounting 

fasteners. The bridges now are ready to be configured and incorporated into your network.
