Antenna Alignment

For optimal performance, make sure the antennas are properly aligned:

1.Use a pair of binoculars, a compass, and/or a map of the area to point the antennas at each other.

2.Analyze the quality of the radio link using the AP Manager Point-to-Point Diagnostics feature described in the RoamAbout Access Point User’s Guide.

The AP Manager Point-to-Point Diagnostics feature allows you to display the strength of the RoamAbout radio signal relative to any noise in the signal path (see Figure 2-4).
