10.1.2 Antenna

The antenna choices for the Connectorized bridge are described in 10.6 "Antenna Choices".

10.2 Software/Features

This section only describes the areas where functionality is modified for the connectorized
variant. For details of the functionality that is common to the integrated and connectorized
variants, see Section 7 "Web Page Reference".

10.2.1 Status Page

The link loss calculation presented on the Status Page of the management interface has to be
modified to allow for the increased antenna gains at each end of the link. The manufacturing
process of the Connectorized PTP 500 Series Bridge configures the standard hardware of the
unit for use with external antennas. The installer is prompted, as part of the installation
process, to enter the gain of the external antenna(s) and cable losses at each end of the link.
Peer-to-peer messaging is used to pass the effective antenna gain to each end of the link so
that the link loss calculations can be correctly computed.
