...
In align mode frames between two devices are exchanged more rapidly and information about signal quality is displayed more often. Use "rssi", "10s-average-rssi" and "tx-sector-info" (available from 6.44beta39) values for more precise link alignment. When devices enter align mode - link is lost for a few seconds.
Sniff
Sniff mode allows to capture nearby 802.11ad frames. To use sniff mode same frequency needs to be used and interface operational mode needs to be set to sniff:
...
Now this interface can be used in Tools/Packet Sniffer for packet capture. Sniffer mode can't be used together with regular interface working modes.
...
Warning: Before configuration, make sure devices are running latest software versions: How to upgrade
Minimal configuration for transparent wireless link is matching SSID, correct mode (bridge || station-bridge) and Wireless and Ethernet interfaces put in same bridge.
...
wAP60G AP units come pre-configured with WISP Bridge default configuration
SSID and bridge between Wireless and Ethernet interfaces is already configured. It's recommended to set up Wireless password and change SSID. If device has been reset, you can also set correct mode and enable interface.
