Aligning antennas
Use this procedure to align linked antennas (master and slave), whether integrated or
connectorized.
Prior to alignment, ensure that the following parameters are available:
•
Location of both sites (latitude and longitude).
•
Bearing to the other end of the link for both sites.
•
Prediction of receive signal level for both ends of the link.
•
Prediction of link loss.
PTP LINKPlanner provides all of these parameters in the form of an installation report.
If a connectorized ODU is installed at either site with two separate antennas for spatial
diversity, refer to
starting alignment.
