Setup Throughput Test Environment

Equipment Requirement:

Five(5) – MeshAP 3100 Wireless Mesh Access Point

(Antennas, PoEs)

Ten(10) – Antenna Attenuators
One(1) – NetAngel Server (PC or Notebook)
One(1) – NetAngel Client (PC or Notebook)

Setup Overview

L=2m

2m 5GHz free space attenuation = 52.4dB 200m 5GHz free space attenuation = 92.4dB Therefore, 2m with 40dB attenuation = 200m distance

L=2m L=2m L=2m

Antenna Attenuator

5GHz Antenna 5GHz Antenna

20dB Antenna Attenuator

(2x) For Both 5GHz Antennas (Backhaul)

Place Attenuators between 5GHz antennas and MeshAP antenna connectors

Test under short distance environment with high gain antennas require Antenna Attenuators on each node (Backhaul Only).

L=2m

Rotate 2nd Hop node, and 4th Hop node to allow Backhaul Antennas to be leveled with each adjacent node for optimal linkage in short distance test for high gain antenna.
