associate with operates.
To align the antenna, you can either use a DVM or view the Received Signal
Strength Indication (RSSI) on the Monitor.
Aligning the Antenna Subscriber Unit Installation Guide
16 BreezeCOM
7.1 Aligning the Antenna Using a DVM
1. Connect the technician cable to the Monitor port on the bottom panel of the
Outdoor unit.
2. Connect a DVM (Digital Voltmeter) to the two wires in the technician cable.
3. Move the antenna left and/or right until you reach the point of maximum RSSI
reading. RSSI readout range is 1.50 to 3.30 volts (the higher the better). Make
sure that all the time, the front of the antenna faces the general direction of the
Base Station so as not to use the back lobe rather than the front lobe of the
antenna for tuning.
4. For proper operation the RSSI reading should be at least 2 volts. If maximal
reading is lower try to improve it through placing the antenna higher or in a
different location.
Note: The DVM reading might be inaccurate due to possible reception of
energy from other devices transmitting energy in the 2.4GHz ISM band.
When in doubt, verify performance using the Print-Per-Hop Statistics
that is based on measurement of the desired signal only.
7.2 Aligning the Antenna Using the Site Survey Menu
1. To use the Site Survey menu configure the ESSID parameter (refer to
Section 8.4).
2. Connect the terminal to the Outdoor unit using the technician cable.
3. From the main menu type 3 to access the Site Survey menu. Type 3 to access
the Print Per-Hop Statistics selection screen. Type 1 to display RSSI readouts

4. Move the antennas until the maximum received signal strength is attained. As
you align the antennas, you will see that the RSSI (received signal strength
indicator) continually increases until it reaches a certain level after which the
RSSI begins to decrease. This is the maximum attainable RSSI level indicating
optimum receive antenna alignment.
5. For proper operation the RSSI reading should be at least 75 units. When
maximal reading is lower try to improve it through placing the antenna higher
or in a different location.
6. Tighten the U-bolts (or metal band) over the antenna to secure it to the pole.
8. Configuring System Parameters
After completing the installation process for both the Outdoor and Indoor units, as
described in the preceding sections of this manual, proceed with alignment of the
antenna and configuration of the basic system parameters.
For this configuration process, you will need to connect an ASCII terminal with
terminal emulation software (e.g., Procomm or Windows 95 HyperTerminal) to
the MON port of the Outdoor unit(s) via the supplied technician cable.
