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.

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 identical to that of the AP, including considerations for line-of-sight, cable distances, cable type, weather
sealing, and grounding.

Once the SU is installed and aimed in the general direction of the AP, it is time to perform an RSSI (relative signal
strength indicator) test to determine the signal strength from the AP, and to precisely align the SU antenna for maximum
signal strength.

Although it is possible to rely upon the SU’s LEDs for alignment, more precise RSSI readings are available from the
command ssrssi.

In this example of a survey
on vertical polarization for 2
seconds on each 2 MHz
portion of the spectrum, the
largest amount of
interference was detected
at frequency 930 MHz (out-
of-band).

The asterisks, ****, indicate
the highest amounts of
interference detected and
correspond to the number
of yellow colored LEDs lit.

Note that the survey covers
