Optimizing RoamAbout Outdoor Point-to-Point Antenna Placement

Optimizing RoamAbout Outdoor Point-to-Point Antenna Placement

If an AP is connected to an outdoor directional antenna, the antenna must be pointed directly at the antenna for the other AP. A misaligned antenna can decrease the signal level or prevent communications. Aligning an omni‐directional antenna is less critical due to its wide radiation pattern. For optimal performance, make sure the antennas are properly aligned by using a pair of binoculars to point the antennas at each other.

Routine Maintenance

Routine maintenance is required for each RoamAbout Lightning Protector in your outdoor antenna installation. Maintenance involves replacing the Lightning Protector at some interval depending on the lightning/transient discharge activity in your area.

Note: Contact a local antenna installation company to determine the maintenance schedule for each RoamAbout Lightning Protector in your outdoor antenna installation.
