Checking that the units are armed
Select menu option Home. The System Summary page is displayed. Check that the
Wireless Link Status contains the word ‘Armed’ (Figure 6-20); this confirms t
hat the
units are ready for alignment.
Figure 6-20 System Summary page (when unit is armed)
If the units are not armed, use the installation wizard (Step 5) to arm them, as
described in Using the installation wizard on
page 6-14.
Aligning antennas
Use this procedure to align linked antennas (master and slave), whether integrated or
connectorized.
Prior to alignment, ensure that the following parameters are available:
• Location of both sites (latitude and longitude).
• Bearing to the other end of the link for both sites.
• Prediction of receive signal level for both ends of the link.
• Prediction of link loss.
PTP LINKPlanner provides all of these parameters in the form of an installation report.
If a connectorized ODU is installed at either site with two separate antennas for spatial
diversity, refer to Aligning separate antennas for spatial diversity on
page 6-27 before
starting alignment.
