6.1.1 Mounting Adjustment
The degree you can adjust the AirMax5X’s antenna depends on what mounting kit you use.
Using the standard strap mount allows you to rotate the CPE in the horizontal plane only. As
long as 2 wireless devices are at about the same elevation, this adjustment is already
enough.
6.2 Preparation before Installation
The antenna alignment is for small adjustment only, you should not use it find remote AP.
The correct way is to use a Graphic Information System (GIS) program such as “Google
Earth” to find the locations of the installation site and the nearest AP/Bridge. Then measure
the approximate direction and angle. It will also help to bring a pair of hi power binocular for
sight survey.
