LEDs

Signal LEDs

Signal 4 LED will light blue when on.

Signal 3 LED will light green when on.

Signal 2 LED will light yellow when on.

Signal 1 LED will light red when on.

Bootup to airOS When powering on, the Power, GPS, Link, and

Signal 1-4 LEDs light on. Once the CPU code takes over, the GPS,
Link, and Signal 1-3 LEDs turn off. Signal 4 LED remains on to

indicate the boot sequence is underway.

Initializing airFiber Software When the airFiber application

begins to boot under airOS, the Signal 4 LED goes from solidly
on to a 2.5 Hz flash. This continues until the airFiber AF-5X is fully
booted.

Signal Level Once fully booted, the Signal 1-4 LEDs act as a bar

graph showing how close the airFiber AF-5X is to ideal aiming. This
is auto-scaled based on the link range, the antenna gains, and the
configured TX power of the remote airFiber AF-5X. Each Signal
LED has three possible states: On, Flashing, and Off. All Signal LEDs
would be solidly on in an ideal link. If the link has a 1 dB loss, the
Signal4 LED will flash; a 2 dB loss and the Signal 4 LED will turn off.

Alignment

Tips

• To accurately align the airFiber radios for best performance, you

MUST align only one end of the link at a time.

• You may need to use additional hardware to compensate for

issues such as the improper orientation of a mounting pole or
significant elevation differences between airFiber radios.

Establishing a Link

Adjust the positions of the Master and the Slave to establish a link.
The following guide features the airFiber antenna, AF-5G30-S45:

Note: The Master must be aimed first at the Slave because

the Slave does not transmit any RF signal until it detects
transmissions from the Master.

1. Master Visually aim the Master at the Slave. To adjust the
Master's position:

a. Loosen the four pole clamp nuts, and rotate the airFiber

antenna on the pole to align the azimuth.

22

Alignment

b. Loosen the six elevation bolts, and use the hex nut on the

elevation rod to adjust the elevation.

Note: Do NOT make simultaneous adjustments on the

Master and Slave.

2. Slave Visually aim the Slave at the Master. To adjust the Slave's
position:

a. Loosen the four pole clamp nuts, and rotate the airFiber

antenna on the pole to align the azimuth.

b. Loosen the six elevation bolts, and use the hex nut on the

elevation rod to adjust the elevation.

3. Check to see if a link is established. Ensure that the LINK LED is
solidly lit green and the Signal LEDs of the Slave are displaying
signal levels.

23

airFiber® AF-5X Quick Start Guide

4. Slave Aim the Slave at the Master to achieve the strongest
signal level on the Master.

Note: Refer to the Signal Level table on page 4 for details

on the signal values.

Note: Maximum signal strength can best be achieved

by iteratively sweeping through both azimuth and
elevation.

5. Master Aim the Master at the Slave to achieve the strongest
signal level on the Slave.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you achieve an optimal link, with all
four Signal LEDs solidly lit. This ensures the best possible data
rate between the airFiber radios.

7. Lock the alignment on both airFiber antennas by tightening all
the nuts and bolts.

8. Observe the Signal LEDs of each airFiber radio to ensure that
the values remain constant while tightening the nuts and bolts.
If any LED value changes during the locking process, loosen
the nuts and bolts, finalize the alignment of each airFiber
antenna again, and retighten the nuts and bolts.

Refer to the airFiber AF-5X User Guide for details on the airFiber
Configuration Interface.
