Establishing a Preliminary Link
Adjust the positions of the Master and the Slave to
establish a preliminary link. This requires the Master
and Slave to be within a few degrees of the line of sight
between the airFiber radios.
Note: The Master must be aimed first at the Slave
because the Slave does not transmit any RF signal
until it detects transmissions from the Master.
1. For the Master and Slave, ensure the eight Lock Bolts on
the Alignment Bracket are sufficiently loose by spinning
each washer by hand.
WARNING: All Lock Bolts MUST be loose to avoid
damage to the airFiber housing.
2. For the Master and Slave, ensure the Azimuth (AZ) and
Elevation (EL) Adjustment Bolts are in the middle of their
adjustment ranges.

the Master’s position on the pole:
a. Loosen the Hex Nuts.
b. Adjust the Pole Mount Bracket and Pole Clamps.
c. Tighten the Hex Nuts.

4. Slave Listen to the audio tone of the Slave – the higher
the pitch, the stronger the signal strength. Aim the
Slave at the Master to achieve the strongest signal
strength. If necessary, adjust the Slave’s position on
the pole.
