Are both antennas approximately aligned? The basic P2P connection has
to be working before fine-tuning can be performed with the aid of
LANmonitor.
Once signal monitoring has commenced, the P2P dialog displays the absolute
values for the current signal strength and the maximum value since starting
the measurement. The development of the signal strength over time and the
maximum value are displayed in a diagram, too.
Initially only one of the two antennas should be adjusted until a maximum
value is achieved. This first antenna is then fixed and the second antenna is
then adjusted to attain the best signal quality.

Measuring wireless bridges
After planning and installation, the wireless bridge can be analyzed to deter-
mine the actual data throughput. Further information about the available
tools and taking measurements can be found in the LANCOM Techpaper "The
performance of outdoor P2P connections", available as a download from

Activating the point- to- point operation mode
The behavior of an access point when exchanging data with other access
points is defined in the "Point-to-point operation mode".
Off:
The access point only communicates with mobile clients
To:
The access point can communicate with other access points and with
mobile clients
Exclusive:
