Fine-Tuning the Link

The Azimuth (AZ) and Elevation (EL) Adjustment Bolts of
the Alignment Bracket adjust the azimuth and elevation
within a range of ±10°. For accurate alignment, make
adjustments on one end of the link using the Signal
Strengths
for the airFiber radio at the other end of the link.
Do NOT make simultaneous adjustments on the Master
and Slave.
1.

Slave

Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Slave

until the other installer sees the strongest Signal
Strengths
for the Master.

2.

Master

Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Master

until the other installer sees the strongest Signal
Strengths
for the Slave.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you achieve a symmetric

link, with the Signal Strengths within 1 dB of each other.
This ensures the best possible data rate between the
airFiber radios.

4. Lock the alignment on both airFiber radios by

tightening all eight Lock Bolts on the Alignment Bracket.

Observe the Antenna Alignment window to ensure that the
values remain constant while tightening the Lock Bolts. If
the values change during the locking process, loosen the
Lock Bolts, finalize the alignment of each airFiber AF24
again, and retighten the Lock Bolts.

Using the Audio Tone

Before You Begin

Create your own cable adapter to connect the AUX port
to your headphones or other listening device. The cable
adapter requires two items:
• An RJ-12 cable with an RJ-12 connector
• A cable with a 3.5 mm, female, stereo phono jack (mono

jack is acceptable)

1. Attach the wire from pin 6 of the RJ-12 cable to the

return or shield wire of the 3.5 mm jack.

2. Attach the wire from pin 5 of the RJ-12 cable to both

the left and right channel wires of the 3.5 mm stereo
phono jack.

Note:

For a mono jack, connect the wire from pin 5

to the + wire of the mono jack.
