with the feature set of the Connectorized 600 Series bridge. The areas where the
functionality is modified are:
13.3.1 Status Page
The link loss calculation presented on the Status Page of the management interface has to be
modified to allow for the increased antenna gains at each end of the link. The manufacturing
process of the Connectorized 600 Series bridge configures the standard hardware of the unit
for use with external antennas. The installer is prompted, as part of the installation process, to
enter the gain of the external antenna(s) and cable losses at each end of the link.
Peer-to-peer messaging is used to pass the effective antenna gain to each end of the link so
that the link loss calculations can be correctly computed.
