26 airFiber® AF-5/AF-5U Quick Start Guide Alignment Tips • T o accurately align the airFiber radios f or best per formance, you MUST align only one end of the link at a time. • F or more convenient alignment, y ou may consider using long-range scopes (not included) temporarily attached t o your airFiber r adios.
27 Alignment Establishing a Link Adjust the positions of the Master and the Slave t o establish a link. Note: The Master must be aimed first at the Slave because the Slave does not transmit an y RF signal until it detec ts transmissions from the Master .
28 airFiber® AF-5/AF-5U Quick Start Guide 3. Master Visually aim the Master at the Slave . T o adjust the Master 's position: a. Rotate the airFiber radio on the pole to align the azimuth. b. Use the hex nut on the Elevation Rod to adjust the elev ation.
29 Alignment 6. Slave Aim the Slav e at the Master to achieve the strongest signal level on the Remote LED Display of the Slave . Note: V alues on the LED Displays are displayed in negative (-) dBm. F or example, 67 represents a receiv ed signal level of -67 dBm.
30 airFiber® AF-5/AF-5U Quick Start Guide There are three methods f or determining the received signal level: • LED Displays (described abov e) • airF iber Configuration Interface (webpage) • A.
