Indoor Node Installation

Indoor node installation is straightforward. Place the unit on a

table or shelf, or use the optional bracket to attach it to a wall, ceil-

ing, or cubicle partition. Attach the antennas, keeping in mind that

all antennas on all units should be parallel - typically vertical. Apply

power. The power LED should illuminate immediately; after about 60

to 90 seconds, the status LED should switch to steady green.

Firetide recommends that you power up and conﬁgure all nodes on

a table or bench before deployment. Use HotView or HotView Pro to

conﬁgure your mesh.

Note the location of the reset button in the lower right corner of the

rear panel. A paperclip can be used to reset the unit after it has fully

booted and the status light has come on.
