Installing the gateway
Choosing a suitable location
The gateway should be mounted:
where there is internet access, either wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired connection
(ethernet).
as high as practicable, to ensure best performance.
within 500 m (1/3 mile) of where the nearest node will be mounted. We
strongly recommend a clear line of sight between the gateway and the nearest
node. Any objects in the way, e.g. walls, steel, foliage (especially when wet),
metal or reinforced concrete will affect the performance of your system and
you will need to include more nodes and space them closer together.
on a wooden wall or a stud.
on the outside of a building, where the connectors are protected from the
weather and water ingress, or if this is not possible, then where a window will
provide clear line-of-sight with the location of the nearest node.
The PVC cord on the gateway must not be handled when the air
temperature drops below freezing.
