Re: [smartBridges] RSSI & Link values

We are thinking of changing to our 14dbi 120* Tiltek. The online link report's this would be a better solution. Have to wait for my partner to come back in the country before I climb the water tower again.   Carl   ----- Original Message ----- From: Seeni Mohamed To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 1:13 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] RSSI & Link values Hi Carl,   If possible could you please try using bit higher gain antenna at the AP (assuming 14dbi at the AP) like 19dbi or 24 dbi OR either increase the height of the antenna (above the tree level) or rotate(polarization) the antenna to 30 degree towards the CPE and gradually bring up into higher degree. At the same time you can try the same procedure at the CPE side also.   It is essential that the antennas connected to the AP and Clients are in line of sight without any obstruction.   IF still the RSSI value not improved, then it might be necessary to move the CPE to the new location and re adjust to POLORIZATION, DIRECTIVITY OR DOWNTILT to reduce the noise level.   Kind regards, Seeni sB Tech Support   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Carl A Jeptha Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 2:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] RSSI & Link values   I have 14db1 90* corner and an 24dbi grid. I am on channel 6 and I do have people I have to talk to (walmart and a company doing a point to point) They are on channel one and 11.   Carl ----- Original Message ----- From: Seeni Mohamed To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 6:25 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] RSSI & Link values   Hi Carl,   The low RSSI means, perhaps due to the channel interference. Please select the site survey option from the CPE and see if there is any other AP is running with nearby channels. The RSSI value may affects due to noise (SNR) and interference. This value can be improved by aligning the polarization or directivity of the antenna to reduce the noise level. Sometimes if there is high level of noise from the other transmitters (out of band) nearby the AP or CPE location may lower down the RSSI value of the CPE. Please let us know what type of antenna you are using on both ends along with the some information regarding the distance between the two links.   Thank you   Kind regards, Seeni sB Tech Support   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carl A Jeptha Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 8:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] RSSI & Link values   My Link value is 85-90% My Rssi value is 52-55% Distance is 10 miles.   What is the problem???? I am assuming interference.   Carl
