LigoPTP Configuration Scenarios

+–Point-to-Point (PTP)
PTP Link Configuration
First of all, use the LigoWave Link Calculator tool to estimate the possibilities and capacities of the link.
Master Device Configuration
Configure one radio to function as the Master device. Change the IP address of your Master device or leave it as the default:
ligowaveptmasterip
Configure the Master device’s wireless settings:
  • select your country code;
  • indicate the link ID;
  • choose the least occupied frequency (for instructions on how to choose the best operating channel, see Improving Link Stability and Throughput in Noisy Environments under LigoPTP RapidFire Installation Recommendations);
  • select channel width;
  • if necessary, enable encryption;
  • leave all of the other settings as their default values.

Slave Device Configuration
Configure the other radio to act as the Slave device. Change the IP address of your Slave device:
ptpstationip
Configure the following in accordance with the Master device:
  • select the country code;
  • indicate the link ID;
  • choose the channel width;
  • if necessary, enable encryption;
  • leave all of the other settings as their default values.

Check Signal Levels
Indicate the transmit power for optimal signal levels.
  • Local signal – received signal strength from a remote PTP (Master device in this case).
  • Remote signal – received signal strength from a local PTP (Slave device in this case).
  • Two signal bars mean two streams – 2 transmit/2 receive (MIMO).

Antenna Alignment
  • If necessary, perform antenna alignment.
  • RSSI is a positive value because it is calculated by subtracting the signal level from the noise level.
  • A higher positive RSSI value is better.
  • RSSI evaluates signal level and environment noise.
  • RSSI should differ on the chain by only a few units.
