7.2 About RSSI Signal Level
The RSSI level is used to indicate the signal strength of the remote wireless
device. Therefore, the idea is to adjust the antenna until the RSSI level is at the
highest. The unit used by RSSI is in dB. Please note that RSSI is not the
same as TX output power, it is the receiving signal level.
7.3 Preparation before Installation
The antenna alignment is for small adjustment only, you should not use it find remote AP.
The correct way is to use a satellite map program like “Google Map” to find the locations of
the installation site and the nearest AP/Bridge. Then measure the approximate direction
and angle. It will also help to bring a pair of hi power binocular for sight survey.
