Point the Antenna

The Mesh Node LCI user interface includes a backhaul antenna pointing feature on its Antenna page to assist installers. To point the antenna:

1

Click the ANTENNA link at the top of the Mesh Node’s LCI page.

2

Loosen the Mesh Node’s CPE (backhaul) antenna mounting bolts and slowly adjust its direction towards the Gateway Node’s backhaul antenna to maximize the “Antenna 0” RSRP readings between the Gateway AP and the GM02.

3

When a maximum value is obtained, tighten the antenna’s mounting bracket bolts.

4

Verify the remainder of the parameters on the Antenna page are consistent with the frequency plan for your access and backhaul channels.

5

Navigate back to the LCI Status Page and verify that the:

• Backhaul Link indicates Connected
• Mesh Tunnel indicates Active

6

Return to the Subscribers page on the Onyx Portal and confirm that the status of the IMSI has changed to Connected.

NOTE: Once energized the Mesh Node will undergo an automated registration with the Onyx Edge through the Gateway Node. You will not be able to register it under this section until its associated SIM card has checked in with the Onyx Edge on the Subscribers page. It may take up to 10 minutes or more for the device to check in with the Onyx Portal.
