Welcome
This quick start guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and use of
the NetComm Wireless Antenna Alignment Tool. The Antenna Alignment Tool is
a battery-powered tool which connects to the alignment port on the back of a
NetComm Wireless Outdoor Antenna, providing power and a wireless access
point. The installer can then use a portable wireless device, such as a laptop or
tablet, to connect to the antenna to read signal strength data and align it in the
optimal position.

off. When not connected to the antenna and turned
on, the Antenna Alignment Tool displays the remaining
battery charge level. See the LED indicator section
for details on the battery level indication. When it is
turned on, if it is not connected to the antenna within
approximately 20 seconds, the Antenna Alignment Tool
turns off automatically. When the Antenna Alignment
Tool is disconnected from the antenna, it powers off
automatically.
The Micro USB port connects to a USB power source
using the supplied USB cable to charge the internal
battery. Connect the Antenna Alignment Tool to a 5V/2A
power source for optimum charging speed.
The LED indicators on the Antenna Alignment Tool are
multifunctional. They display:
1. Remaining battery level when the battery check
button is pressed or the unit is charging (Battery
check mode)
2. RF signal strength during alignment (Cell scanning
mode)
3. System status when the outdoor antenna is in
normal operation (Normal operation mode).
See the LED indicator section for more information.

Antenna Alignment Tool
Using the Antenna
Alignment Tool to align
an outdoor antenna
Before beginning to align an outdoor antenna, press the battery check button on
the bottom of the Antenna Alignment Tool and observe the battery level indicated
by the LED indicators. Ensure that you have an adequate charge level for the
installation.
To align an outdoor antenna:
1. Prepare the outdoor antenna as per the Installation Guide.
2. On the outdoor antenna, locate the alignment port and remove the
protective cap from it.

5. Wait approximately 1 minute for the antenna to go through its boot
up process.
NOTE: When the Antenna Alignment Tool is connected to the Outdoor Antenna, do not point
the front panel of the antenna directly at other people or yourself. Always maintain a separation
distance of 8 inches between any part of your body and the front of the antenna (the ofcial
FCC recommendation species 20cm separation). We recommend that you disconnect the
PoE cable and Antenna Alignment Tool if you are working in proximity to the antenna and it is
not required to be on.
6. Using a portable wireless device such as a laptop or tablet, scan for
nearby wireless networks. Connect to the network being broadcast by
the Antenna Alignment Tool using the Network Name and Password
which are printed on the label and on the WiFi security card included
in the package. When the wireless connection has been established,
use your wireless device to browse to the IP address of the antenna.
To complete the installation, follow the Installation Guide that comes
with your outdoor antenna.
