Chapter 6. RF Link Test Figure 6-17: Overlapping of Coverage with Omni-Directional Antenna Other Equipment In addition to two-way radios or cell phones, you may need the following equipment for aligning the antennas: • Binoculars for viewing the antenna at the remote site. • Compass to determine the direction of the remote antenna. You usually need a compass when the remote site is not visible from the local site. You should use the compass in conjunction with a topographic map that shows relative positions and elevations of the area. Remember to use a compass only in areas away from metal objects or structures. You can use Global Positioning System (GPS) tools to pinpoint locations of the two antenna sites. GPS tools are especially useful when sites are not within visible range. They can be used in conjunction with a compass. GPS tools consist of portable devices as well as mapping software that runs in computers. Configuring Access Point Bridging and Repeating (WLAP Mode) 35
