Greetings everyone,

On the commercial side I know I can do this in software. Over a week ago I was up 250ft on a tower tweaking a link from one site to the other. The problem was that I also had other bbhn nodes on the same site.  My only consideration after the fact was  to change the frequency on that specific point to point link.  is there any other guidance or help on tweaking an alignment between sites.

It now seems that with winter here I probably won't get a chance to touch that node until spring time.

At the moment changing the channel or name would be the only viable way to zero in on a single node.

An early attempt was made to include a per node aiming solution into the Ubiquiti line for the 1.1.0 release but it was pulled in beta as it was causing some unexpected corruption (and using a bit more memory than I liked to see as well)

With all the work going into the 3.0.0 for stability fixes "feature" items took a back seat for a few months and it hasn't had a chance to be circled around again to see if there is a better way to do it.

You could look at the unofficial aimer program in the backend, it may be possible to modify to look for beacons from a specific MAC address instead of just any node etc.

This might be of some use.  I made some quick-n-dirty changes to the "/usr/local/bin/wscan" perl sript  to show through the individual node signal strengths. This is for Ubiquiti only. This will provide the basic information to see a particular nodes' signal strength under the condition that it has made the 802.11 level 'adhoc' connection to the cell.

save off and copy this file in place of /usr/local/bin/wscan on the node (I might need to tar or zip this to get through virus checkers).   Click on "wifi scan" from mesh status page, look for the "adhoc" rows.  

Probably have to just paste it or put it in a pastebin or other website location as the forum basically only allows image files from what I have seen.
