Introduction for wireless users. For many wireless networks, one wired RoutePoint gateway is all that is needed. For added redundancy and additional bandwidth for larger wireless networks, additional gateways can be added as necessary. Non-wired SmartPoint wireless routers (nodes) function independently to form large, routed wireless networks. All you need is power for the SmartPoint wireless routers, and you can expand your wireless network by adding nodes to the network.
Installation Guidelines Installation Guidelines This section describes installation procedures for your SmartPoint and RoutePoint wireless routers. It also describes important considerations in selecting the wireless router location, wall mounting options, and power and LAN connections.
Installation Guidelines Site Surveys Because of differences in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple SmartPoint and RoutePoint wireless routers, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum utilization of networking components and to maximize range, coverage, and network performance.
Preparing for Installation and RoutePoint wireless routers in front of non-metallic coated windows, or close to the outside walls of the building. Using some common sense planning to place the SmartPoint and RoutePoint wireless routers greatly increases your coverage area. Preparing for Installation Unpacking Carefully unpack your SmartPoint or RoutePoint wireless router shipping box.
