6. Write down the directions (compass bearings) of your Access Points. For example, in
Figure 2-3, Access Point A is located northwest of the building and Access Point B is
located between north and northeast. (If you can be more accurate than this, you will
get better reception when you install your outdoor transceiver.)
2.5.3 Selecting An Access Point
In order for your AB-Access System to work correctly, you MUST
establish a clear line of sight to one or more of the Access Points
recommended by your AB-Access System provider.
1. Using the compass bearings you wrote down in the previous section, walk around
your building to find a suitable line of sight path to mount your outdoor transceiver –
see Figure 2-4.
Attention! A
clear line of sight
means a path unobstructed by trees,
dense foliage, or other buildings.
If necessary, move to an upstairs window or rooftop location to better view the surrounding area
for possible blockages in the path. Also, be sure to consider seasonal changes. A location that is
unobstructed in the winter may be obstructed by foliage in the spring, summer, and autumn.
