Hello everyone!
We have installed two Aerohive AP1130 to create a wireless link between our school and another building. These two APs are connected via coax cables to the AH-ACC-1130-ANT-18 outdoor directional antennas.
The link seems to work fine, because in the other building I am able to ssh the switch connected to the AP and to ping the Default Gateway. Also, I got good results with the download/upload speeds and no drops with an extended ping.
However, I can’t see any amber/white light on the left panel of the AP1130, which is weird.
I would like to check if the alignment is fully optimised at the highest level of throughput or if it needs some correction. I tried to enable the buzzer from the CLI using the command:
exec antenna-alignment interface wifi1 peer xxxx:xxxx:xxxx beep adaptive
but I got this message from the CLI:
Warning: mesh link is not established!
No. Req_seq Tx_pwr ACK_RSSI RSP_seq RSP_tx_pwr RSP_RSSI Req_RSSI BRSSI
11 0 0 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 0
0--------10--------20--------30--------40--------50--------60--------70--------80
Am I doing something wrong? Which MAC address should I put just after the “peer”? Is there a way to check directly from the CLI if the alignment is fully optimised?
Again, the weird thing is that the link seems to work fine.
How can I troubleshoot this? I didn’t find many information on the site, and sometimes I am not sure which commands to use in the CLI or which parameters to check.
Thank you in advance for your help!
