Antenna Alignment
Use this feature to continuously broadcast packets in order to test optimum antenna alignment. Note
that you must scan the brouter before running this test.
WARNING! This test will broadcast a large amount of test packets across the wireless link. It will
interfere with normal wireless network operation.
To run the antenna alignment test, do the following:
1 From the Analyze menu, choose Antenna Alignment. The Antenna Alignment dialog box
appears.
2 Enter the following information:
• Interface to run test on
Each brouter contains several network interfaces to which it may be connected. The
network interfaces are numbered (i.e., 1,2,3...). The number of interface can be found
by choosing Interface Setup from the Setup menu.
• Seconds to run test (0=Stop)
This is simply the length (in seconds) of the antenna alignment test.

This is the speed (measured in Hertz) of the signal transmission.
