0.4.1 Placement (include range image)
● The gateway should ideally be placed in a central location relative to all the wireless
devices it will communicate with. Outdoors, the gateway can wirelessly communicate up
to 1000 feet with other devices. In noisy indoor environments, the gateway can cover
70,000 sq-ft of floor area (150’ radius)
● Elevate the gateway. Placing the gateway in an elevated location can help in avoiding
physical obstructions, which are generally found closer to the ground. Chairs, file
cabinets, desks, etc. all are physical obstructions whose wireless-degrading effects can be
minimized by placing the gateway in a higher location.
● Install the gateway in a central location. Placing the gateway in a central location,
relative to all connected devices will help ensure robust wireless performance.
● Avoid physical obstructions & reflective surfaces. Metal, water, thick walls all degrade
wireless performance, and care should be taken when placing the gateway in order to
maximize wireless range. Range will be best when line of sight can be established
between the gateway and devices. Likewise, reflective surfaces (sheet metal, windows,
mirrors, etc.) can increase multi-path interference and degrade wireless performance and
range. Place gateway and devices away from such surfaces if possible.
0.5 Power
● The N-Series gateway requires an external power source in order to fully function.
Reserve power (AAA Batteries) are included and installed in every N-Series device and
act as a backup power source in the case of a power failure. Batteries are estimated to
provide power for (insert battery life here). Paragon Robotics recommends the use of the
included AC wall adapter for best performance, as other USB-C AC wall adapters may
not be able supply sufficient power to the device.
● Power over Ethernet (PoE)
● No power availability at the Gateway location, No problem. Our Model N-Series
gateways come standard with Power Over Ethernet (POE) capability to operate on a
compatible building network.
0.5.1 Power options
● The N-Series device offers three different power options – Normal, Power Saving and
High Performance. Normal mode will balance performance and power consumption
