Sighting Each Campus BridgeLINK™ Antenna

Once you have installed and grounded the mounting bracket assembly (provided by others), you can point the directional antenna toward the location of the distant antenna.

Tools You Will Need

To site the antenna properly, you will need to have a crescent wrench, a carpenter’s square, a ladder, and a helper.

Adjusting the Antenna’s Direction

To adjust the antenna’s direction, you will:

1.Loosen the U-bolts to turn the antenna into the correct side-to-side direction (azimuth).

2.Loosen the nut on the tilt mount to adjust the antenna to the proper elevation.

3.Tighten all nuts and bolts to safeguard the antenna against direction changes during high winds.
