Antenna alignment for P2P operations

The precise alignment of the antennas is of considerable importance in esta-
blishing P2P connections. The more central the receiving antenna is located
in the "ideal line" of the transmitting antenna, the better are the actual per-
formance and the effective bandwidth ³. If the receiving antenna is outside
of this ideal area, however, significant losses in performance will be the result
·.

You can find further information on the geometrical design of wireless

paths and the alignment of antennas with the help of LANCOM soft-
ware in the LCOSreference manual.
The current signal quality over a P2P connection can be displayed on the
device's LEDs or in the LANmonitor in order to help find the best possible
alignment for the antennas.
