1. A method, comprising:
- producing, by a mobile device, a sound indicator indicative of a signal strength, the sound indicator being a tone that varies in frequency and over time as a first directional wireless radio is aligned with a second wireless radio by an installer; and
outputting, by the mobile device, a constant tone at a frequency while at a same time producing the sound indicator, the constant tone representing an optimal signal strength, the constant tone and the tone converging at the same frequency when the first directional wireless radio is aligned with the second wireless radio.

Abstract
A method and system are provided. The method includes receiving a signal strength corresponding to a long range wireless link established between a first directional wireless radio and a second wireless radio, the signal strength varying over time as the first directional wireless radio is aligned with a second wireless radio by an installer, and producing a sound indicator indicative of the signal strength. The sound indicator varies over time as the first directional wireless radio is aligned with the second wireless radio.

6. A method, comprising:
executing an audible alignment application by a single installer using a mobile device, the audible alignment application being stored in memory and executable by a processor of the mobile device, the audible alignment application being configured to; produce a sound indicator indicative of a signal strength, the sound indicator being a tone that varies in frequency and over time as a first directional wireless radio is aligned with a second wireless radio by the single installer; and output a constant tone at a frequency while at a same time producing the sound indicator, the constant tone representing an optimal signal strength, the constant tone and the tone converging at the same frequency when the first directional wireless radio is aligned with a second wireless radio. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage media having a program embodied thereon, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method, comprising:
-
coupling a mobile device with a first directional wireless radio using a wireless communication protocol; producing, by the mobile device, a sound indicator indicative of a signal strength, the sound indicator being a tone that varies in frequency and over time as a first directional wireless radio is aligned with a second wireless radio; and outputting, by the mobile device, a constant tone at a frequency while at a same time outputting the sound indicator, the constant tone representing an optimal signal strength, the constant tone and the tone converging at the same frequency when the first directional wireless radio is aligned with a second wireless radio. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
