Data Rate Test

The Data Rate Test can test the current RSSI at each data rate between your WAB-5120 devices.

Antenna Alignment

Under WDS mode, when the bridges are not easily visible from the location where the dish will be

installed, the antenna alignment tool can help you evaluate the position of the unit and adjust the angle

of the antenna more precisely. Keep it that in real circumstances a lot of additional factors should be

taken into account when your unit is installed. These factors include various obstacles (buildings,

trees), the landscape, the altitude, transponder orientation, polarization, etc.

To use the tool, select the desired remote WDS bridge and click “Start”, the web page will display the

measured signal strength, RSSI and transmit/receive packets. If the signal quality is not quite good,

try to adjust the antenna and see if the quality improves or not.
