7 Remove your hands from the RSU and make sure the RSU is stationary.

The program determines and reports the strength of the signal that the RSU receives while

the RSU is in its current orientation.

8 Remembering the strongest signal reported, re-orient the back of the RSU in the direction

that the RSU was pointed when the strongest signal was found.

9 After about five seconds, click Stop Scan. The lights on the RSU stop blinking and become

continuously lit.

10 After the lights stop blinking, observe the lights for about 30 to 90 seconds. Make sure the

same number (or more) of indicator lights stays on.

• If the same number or more lights are on, you are ready to use your high-speed Internet

connection.

• If fewer lights are on, complete the fine tuning steps described in the section, “Fine-tun-

ing the connection to the service provider” on page 12 in this guide.

You only need to re-run the LinkMonitor program and repeat the scan when you power down

your RSU and

move it.

FINE-TUNING THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER

After performing initial setup, most users will be able to operate their RSU without further fine-

tuning.

However, if you notice fewer lights on the RSU are lit after 30 to 90 seconds of use, fine tune the

connection to the service provider. The fine-tune procedure ensures the signal received from the

service provider is strong (as indicated by the number of lights lit) and high-quality (as indicated

by the number of lights lit over time.)

1 Unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer.

2 The current position of your RSU is its starting point. Point the RSU slightly to the left of its

starting point. Note the number of indicator lights that blink.

3 Point the RSU slightly to the right of its starting point. Note the number of indicator lights

that blink.

4 Point the RSU toward the direction it was facing—either to the left or to the right of the

starting point—when the most lights were blinking.

5 Plug the Ethernet cable back into the computer.

6 Refresh your IP address by performing the procedure described in the section “Renewing the

host computer’s IP address” on page 13.

CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET

After completing steps 1 through 4, you should be able to connect to the Internet.

1 Start your Internet browser, and try to open a few Internet sites.

• If you can open numerous sites, enjoy your new, high-speed service.

• If you cannot open any sites—for example, if your browser displays a message “This

page cannot be displayed” for all the sites you tried to access—refresh the RSU’s con-

nection, as described in the section “Renewing the host computer’s IP address” on

page 13 in this guide.
