LANCOM L-54g Wireless - LANCOM L-54ag Wireless - LANCOM L-54 dual Wireless Chapter 5: Advanced wireless LAN configuration53EN5.2.2 Antenna alignment for P2P operationsThe precise alignment of the antennas is of considerable importance in esta-blishing P2P connections. The more central the receiving antenna is locatedin the "ideal line" of the transmitting antenna, the better are the actual per-formance and the effective bandwidth . If the receiving antenna is outsideof this ideal area, however, significant losses in performance will be the result. You can find further information on the geometrical design of wirelesspaths and the alignment of antennas with the help of LANCOM soft-ware in the LCOSreference manual.The current signal quality over a P2P connection can be displayed on thedevice's LEDs or in the LANmonitor in order to help find the best possiblealignment for the antennas.WLAN RouterANTENNAADMINISTRATION ACCESS POINTANTENNAPRODUCTIONSA-5L SA-5LFree-space lossAmplification withantenna gainOutput power of theradio moduleLoss throughcable, plugs andlightning protec-tionAmplification withantenna gainInput signal at theradio moduleLoss throughcable, plugs andlightning protec-tionWLAN RouterANTENNEVERWALTUNG ACCESS POINTANTENNEPRODUKTIONANTENNE
