    MX and verify the link. You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP connection. If you are installing the MP-620 as a Mesh AP in a WLAN Mesh or wireless bridge configuration, you must configure the MP connection before deploying the MP-620 in its final location.

  • Page 15: Aligning Antennas For Bridge Or Mesh Links

    To start, you can just point the antennas at each other, using binoculars or a compass to set the general direction. For accurate alignment, you must connect a DC voltmeter or RSSI meter to the BNC connector on the MP-620 and monitor the voltage as the antenna moves horizontally and vertically.
  • Page 16 MP radio, link calibration packets are sent at a rate of 5 per second. When the MP-620 receives a link calibration packet, it emits a voltage to the RSSI meter proportional to the received signal strength of the packet. This can aid in positioning the MP-620 where it has a strong signal to the MP sending out the packets.
  • Page 17 Voltmeter Pan the antenna horizontally back and forth while checking the RSSI voltage. If using the pole-mounting bracket with the MP-620, you must rotate the mounting bracket around the pole. Other external antenna brackets may require a different horizontal adjustment.
  • Page 18 Trapeze Networks Installing an MP-622 The MP-622 includes a bracket kit for mounting the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or tube. The pole-mounting bracket allows the unit to be mounted to part of a radio mast or tower structure.
