How do I use the alignment tone feature?

Attached you will find a Zipped up .wav file which was saved during an alignment test. Open the file and as you listen you will here noise for about 25 seconds which was generated as the SM was not pointed at the AP. Then from the 26th-29th second you can hear the tester moving the SM into alignment with the AP and again from the 35th-42nd second. Every once and a while you can hear a high pitch and that is from the tester moving the SM into and out of the AP's range. As you align your units you should listen to the pitch and you will find that the higher the pitch the higher the RSSI. Then as the volume gets louder you will know that the jitter is getting lower.

Highest Pitch = Highest RSSI

Highest Volume = Lowest Jitter
