Each tab of the airOS interface contains network
administration and monitoring tools. Click the Tools
drop‑down list at the top right corner of the page.
Align Antenna
Use the Align Antenna tool to point and optimize the
antenna in the direction of maximum link signal. The
Antenna Alignment window reloads every second.
Signal Level
Displays the signal strength of the last
received packet.
Chain
Displays the wireless signal level (in dBm) of each
chain, if there is more than one chain. (The number of
chains is device‑specific.)
Noise Level
Displays the noise level (in dBm) of the
received wireless signal.
Max Signal
Displays the maximum signal strength (in
dBm). To adjust the range of the Max Signal meter, use
the slider or manually enter the new value. If you reduce
the range, the color change will be more sensitive to
signal fluctuations, indicating the offset of the maximum
indicator value and the scale itself.
Alignment Beep
You can enable the audio option so
a technician can easily align the antenna of an airMAX
device without looking at the airOS Configuration
Interface. The higher the pitch, the stronger the signal
strength. Each rise in pitch correlates to an increase in the
received signal level, which is represented by a color in the
airOS Configuration Inteface:
• Red (weakest received signal level)
• Yellow
• Green
• Blue (strongest received signal level)
