Antenna alignment for P2P operations

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

To help find the best possible alignment for the antennas, LANmonitor can
display the current signal quality over a P2P connection. The connection-
quality display is opened with the context menu in LANmonitor. A click with
the right-hand mouse key on the 'Point-to-point' entry prompts the command
'Adjusting Point-to-Point WLAN Antennas'

Further information about the geometrical alignment of wireless
paths and the alignment of antennas with the help of LANCOM soft-
ware can be found in the LCOS reference manual.
