3. Set the Antenna Receive-Gain for the Mesh Compensation Factor.
Warning: If gain is set on any antenna, it must be set on all antennas that
belong to the same satellite. This includes all Hub and Remote
antennas. Failure to do so will result in a network imbalance that may
cause the satellite to overdrive a site that is set incorrectly.
Refer to link budgets and antenna manufacture specifications for gain
settings. If meshing is not required, leave Rx-Gain at the default setting of
0 dB.
This feature applies a power delta between any meshed Remote sites. The
Hub is used as the reference value when calculating a power delta value
