Sealing Antenna Connections
Once all antennas have been installed, the connection should be sealed to protect them in an exterior harsh environment using a self amalgamating polyisobutylene tape which, over a period of hours, adheres to itself and forms a single amalgamated rubber molding conforming to the shape of the item it is covering. Be sure that it is completely dry when applied. If you need to uninstall it after it has sealed for 30 minutes or more, cut it away with a sharp knife. Once the tape is in place for several hours, it forms a shaped rubber molding that is resistant to water and most solvents. It remains stable over a wide temperature range and degrades very slowly (over several years) in sunlight.

Strength
The strength LED indicator shows the signal strength of detected remote AP on the bridge side:
1.LED off: means remote AP is not detected on the bridge side, or the signal is very weak.
2.LED blinks slowly (every 1 second): means the remote AP is detected, and the signal quality is
poor.
3.LED blinks fast: means the remote AP is detected, and the signal quality is good.
4.LED steady on: means the remote AP is detected, and the signal quality is excellent.
