SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
3.8.5 Channel Width
The radio supports a number of different channel widths from 5 MHz to 40 MHz. Narrower channel widths allow
for greater range due to improved receiver sensitivity, but the trade-off is lower throughput. Likewise, wider channel
widths allow for higher throughput at the cost of link range. Some situations require restricting the channel widths
due to co-site interference.
3.8.6 Link Distance
The radio supports restricting the maximum link distance if the installation is fixed-site in order to improve latency.
The default value for this is 50 km (31 miles) and must be adjusted to be greater than the actual link distance or link
performance will suffer.
3.8.7 Antenna Alignment
The radio provides aids to aligning the antenna to a remote radio. Radios can be configured to emit a chirping sound
(referred to as a buzzer) that chirps faster with higher average Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). The radio
GUI also contains a page that refreshes every second and displays the RSSI and Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio
(SINADR) for the link.
