Abstract

Methods and systems are described for determining and providing instructions for manual adjustment of a tilt angle of a radio frequency/free space optical transceiver system. Specifically, these instructions are provided for adjusting a tilt angle of a transceiver system using a tilt adjustment so that the transceiver system is approximately at a center of a range of motion of a gimbal assembly. A user interface in communication with a computing system of the local transceiver system provides instructions so that the above-described adjustments are implemented accurately and precisely. This tilt adjustment improves the reliability of the communication network because the gimbal assembly is able adjust the position of the transceiver system during relative movement between the transceivers system, thus maintaining the link despite the relative movement.
