Channel Planning
Based on the results of the site survey at each end of the link, choose a channel with the lowest noise floor. In order to reliably
operate in the higher speed modes, clean spectrum is essential.
RSSI Command and Antenna Alignment
Once the site survey is completed, you are ready to install your radios. Typically it is best to install the AP first. To
properly align the radios, use the built-in RSSI tool to achieve maximum signal strength.
1. Ensure SU is in Opmode “SU.”
2. Connect to the SU.
3. Login and type the command rssi. As you read the RSSI, move the antenna in
the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum RSSI reading is achieved
4. If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to
reorient the SU (up/down, left/right), to increase the output power of the AP, or
to move the SU to a location with better line-of-sight conditions to the AP.
5. Once you are satisfied with the RSSI reading, tighten down the SU in the
optimum position.
