9 Installing the EUM

APCD-LM043-4.0 111

9.4.6 Positioning the Antenna

1. To begin with, point the antenna in the general direction of the CCU, as shown in

Figure 42:

Figure 42 Preliminary Orientation of the Antenna (Top View)

As illustrated, for maximum signal reception, point the concave surface of the antenna

toward the CCU, and ensure your body (including fingers) are not between the

antenna and the CCU.

2. Monitor the Radio LED, shown in Figure41onpage110and refer to Table 21.Move

the antenna until the Radio LED is flashing quickly, or is ON solidly, indicating that you

have a good to very-good radio signal. After each repositioning or reorientation of the

antenna, you may have to step back from the antenna so that you are not interfering

with the received signal.

Table 21 Radio LED Status Displays

3. If the Radio LED is off or flashes slowly, then the antenna should be moved to a better

location. Keep in mind that the antenna and EUM do not have to be located in the

same room as the end-user’s PC since up to 100m (300ft.) of CAT5 data cable can

connect the EUM to the PC.

4. If you cannot find an indoor antenna location that provides a solid ON or fast-flashing

LED, refer to Troubleshooting on page 121.

5. Once you have found a good location, you are ready to mount the antenna, as

described in section 9.4.7, Mounting the Antenna.

Radio LED Display Status

Off No radio signal present.

Slow Flash ON/OFF 1.25 times per second. The signal strength

is poor to marginal.

Fast Flash ON/OFF 2.5 times per second. The signal strength is

good.

Solid On The signal strength is very good.
