Antenna alignment can be done with GigAccess™ Unit Manager software tool. The tool
runs on PC with Windows operating system. In general, low gain antenna (such as
omni antennas) do not required alignment due to their very wide radiation pattern.
High gain antennas have a narrow beam width and therefore require alignment
procedure in order to optimize the link.
Instruction hereunder can be done after completion the connection of the AU and SU
outdoor units to their indoor Outlet.
Please perform the following steps in order to align the antenna:
1. Attach data cable from the PC to the SU Indoor Outlet data port. It is possible
to attach special provided cable marked “data only” to a vacant Outdoor Unit
port.
WARNING! Do not attach standard CAT5 cable from the Outdoor Unit directly to the
PC. Connecting the PC directly to the Outdoor Unit may cause damaged to the PC
Ethernet NIC.
2. Start “GigAccess™ Unit Manager” application.
3. Press on the “Start Session” button (“S” symbol).
4. Select the SU from the popup address window.
5. Select “Installation” at the left menu tree.
6. Rotate the antenna until you get maximum RSSI with minimal PER shown on
the right bars see the installation window in the Unit Manager Tool (Figure
10-5).
WARNING! Do not stand in front of transmitting antenna. Rotate the antenna from
the rear side.
7. Secure the antenna by fastening the mounting screws.

The SU antenna polarization must be the same as in the AU antenna. In most
applications, the preferred orientation is vertical polarization. Above ground
propagation of the signal is better when it is polarized vertically. To verify antenna
polarization, refer to the assembly instructions supplied with the antenna set. (The
polarization of integrated antenna is marked on the backside).
