Aligning transceiver systems of a data transmission network

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes instructions that, when loaded into memory, cause a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• establishing a communication link between a first transceiver system and a second transceiver system;
• measuring a gimbal assembly orientation of the first transceiver system comprising at least one of a tilt orientation and a pan orientation;
• comparing the gimbal assembly orientation with a gimbal assembly neutral position and a gimbal assembly range of motion;
• displaying a tilt adjustment instruction, the displayed instruction comprising:
• an identification of an adjustment component;
• and
• at least one instruction identifying an articulation of the adjustment component for adjusting at least one of a tilt adjustment and a pan adjustment of the first transceiver system, the at least one instruction for manually orienting the transceiver system to within at least one of a tilt target range and a pan target range of the gimbal assembly neutral position.

A system comprising:

• a transceiver system comprising:
• at least one of an RF transceiver and an FSO transceiver;
• a gimbal assembly comprising a gimbal;
• a tilt and pan adjustment assembly including a first end and a second end, the first end attached to the transceiver system and the second end attached to a mounting structure;
• a computer system comprising:
• a communication link placing the transceiver system and the computer system in communication;
• a processor that, when executing instructions stored in a non-transitory storage medium, performs a method comprising:
• measuring a gimbal orientation of the first transceiver system comprising at least one of a tilt orientation and a pan orientation;
• comparing the gimbal orientation with a gimbal neutral position and a gimbal range of motion;
• determining at least one instruction identifying an articulation the tilt and pan adjustment assembly for adjusting at least one of a tilt adjustment and a pan adjustment of the transceiver system;
• and
• a display for displaying the at least one instruction.
