Antenna Types and Applications
To optimize system performance, it is important to position Portal Gateways to
receive maximum signal strength from the controllers. Once all door hardware
has been installed, you will be ready to position Portal Gateways using the Wi-Q
Technology Site Survey Tool. Wi-Q and Omnilock Technology support two antenna
types: Omni-directional, designed to provide coverage in all directions; and Direc-
tional antennas that focus the signal from point-to-point over longer distances and
through obstacles. For more information, see Position Portal Gateways (Task 2).
Installing System Hardware
Wi-Q AMS is designed to operate with Stanley Wi-Q and Omnilock Controllers
and Portal Gateways. Detailed installation instructions are provided in the follow-
ing sections and in the lock instructions provided with the hardware which are
included as Appendices to this manual.
