The bridge's 11a and 11b/g LEDs operate in two display modes, which are configurable through the software. The default AP mode indicates data traffic rates. The RSSI mode indicates the received signal power and is for use when aligning antennas in a bridge link. When the bridge is connected to - 3Com 3CRWEASYA73 | Quick Start Guide - Page 12
aligned to ensure optimum performance. This alignment process is particularly important for long-range point-to-point links. In a point-to-multipoint configuration the root bridge uses an omnidirectional or sector antenna, which does not require alignment, but bridge nodes still need to be correctly - 3Com 3CRWEASYA73 | Quick Start Guide - Page 13
