To align the antennas in the link using the output LEDs, start with one antenna fixed and
then perform the following procedure to align the other antenna:
1.
Pan the antenna horizontally back and forth while checking the RSSI LEDs. If using
the pole-mounting bracket with the WLA622, you must rotate the mounting bracket
around the pole. Other external antenna brackets may require a different horizontal
adjustment.
2.
Find the point where the signal is strongest (all LEDs on) and secure the horizontal
adjustment in that position.
3.
Loosen the vertical adjustment on the mounting bracket and tilt the antenna slowly
up and down while checking the LEDs.
Find the point where the signal is strongest and secure the vertical adjustment in that
position.
Informational Note:
Sometimes there may not be a central lobe peak in the RSSI LED
indicators because vertical alignment is too far off and only two similar peaks for the side
lobes are detected. In this case, fix the antenna so that it is halfway between the two
peaks.
