transmission rate to lowest rate – 1 Mbps, wireless connection still sporadic, probably due to
too many obstructions. Area of test considered a “dead spot” in the wireless topography.
Placed a WAP11 in Repeater Mode at the 20-foot doorway in the cinder block wall. With
transmission rate reduced to lowest rate – 1 Mbps and repeater in place, wireless connection
was established and remained established. G2 communicated with WSBs continuously at 1
Mbps.
Location 6, test blender 1, test blender 2
G2 Server located on 1st floor, WSBs location 1st floor, 70-90-foot distance, through 2 drywall
walls. Initial transmission rate tested – highest rate. Signal strength was fair connection, held
connection most of the time with both WSBs. WSB 2 with wireless serial server was better at
recovering the wireless connection. Reduced transmission rate to lowest rate – 1 Mbps,
wireless connection established and remained established. G2 communicated with WSBs
continuously at 1 Mbps.
Location 7, test blender 1, test blender 2
G2 Server located on 2nd floor, WSBs location 1st floor, 80-100 foot distance, through 2
drywall walls. Initial transmission rate tested – highest rate. Signal strength results were -
sporadic connection, drops shortly after connection is established. Reduced transmission rate
to lowest rate – 1 Mbps, wireless connection established and held connection continuously.
2.4 GHz cordless phone test - At location 7, a 2.4 GHz cordless phone was used in the
building. Phone base located 50 feet from WSBs on same floor and 40 feet from WAP11
(located on 2nd floor). Phone handset used within 50 feet and up to 3 feet from WSBs wireless
equipment. Transmission rate set to lowest rate – 1 Mbps, wireless connection established.
Signal strength results during 2.4 GHz phone tests - Good, occasional drop of wireless
connection during phone use but use but both WSBs recovered quickly and held link. WSB 2
(wireless serial server) re-established the connection quicker than WSB 1.
Location 8, test blender 1, test blender 2
G2 Server located on 2nd floor, WSBs location 1st floor, 150-170 foot distance, through 2
drywall walls. Initial transmission rate tested – highest rate. Signal strength results were -
sporadic connection, drops shortly after connection is established. Reduced transmission rate
to lowest rate – 1 Mbps, wireless connection established and held connection continuously.
Location 9, test blender 1, test blender 2
G2 Server located on 2nd floor, WSBs location 1st floor, 80-100 foot distance, through 2
drywall walls. Initial transmission rate tested – highest rate. Signal strength results were -
sporadic connection, drops shortly after connection is established. Reduced transmission rate
to lowest rate – 1 Mbps, wireless connection established and held connection continuously.
