2.5 Antenna

Alignment

To maximize the signal quality for A-6000 system , you had better align the directional antennas for both BU and RU. To
perform the antenna alignment, you can use AK-100 which will show you the signal strength and link quality on its panel. The
system data rate will drop to 6Mbps while using AK-100 to align the A-6000. After the alignment is completed, it is required to
reboot both BU and RU for regular data rate recovery. To do the alignment, follow the steps as below:

1. Open the cover of the console port labeled

on the bottom of the remote unit/basestation unit (RU/BU) and well

reserve the cover.

2. Connect the RS-232 cable to this console port.
