Once the site survey is completed, you are ready to install your radios. It is recommended that APs be installed first. The
reason for this is that the SU has a built-in RSSI tool that will help you properly aim the SU at the AP to achieve
maximum signal strength.

Channel Planning

For installations involving co-location of AP’s, channel planning is of paramount importance. For maximum AP co-
location quantities, it is important to assign frequencies of maximum spacing and alternating polarizations for adjacent
APs. Use of the 5.3 spectrum UNII band as well as the 5.8 spectrum ISM band will allow maximum co-location
potential. For very dense deployments of multiple APs, it may be necessary to use the optional AP Shielding kit in order
to mitigate interference from nearby APs.

Various AP channel plans can be implemented. Many of the factors will depend on the unique circumstances at each
particular site. See

for additional information on channel

planning schemes.

AP Search and SU Antenna Alignment

Once the AP is installed and aligned in the correct general direction, it is time to install the SU. The hardware installation
of the SU is similar to the AP, including considerations for line-of-sight, cable distances, cable type, weather sealing, and
grounding.

In this example of a survey on
horizontal polarization run from a
FOX series subscriber unit for 30
seconds, the largest amount of
interference is detected on channel
6.
The asterisks, ****, indicate the
highest amounts of interference
detected.
