Best Practices – RF Products Reference Guide – DOC. 6689E

Antenna

Set the antenna vertically as shown in either of the following illustrations (applicable

to most applications). The wireless network is stronger in a perpendicular direction

from the antenna.

Vertical Orientation

If the gateway is positioned parallel to a metal surface (for example, when mounted

to a metal wall), orient the antenna horizontally (perpendicular to the metal surface)

as shown in the following illustration.

NOTE: Positioning the gateway near a metal surface does not provide optimal

results and should be avoided whenever possible. In addition, the gateway should not

be placed on the ground.

Horizontal Orientation

Channel

After installing the RF gateways, set the channel on each gateway according to the

channel map. For Crestron and third-party gateways, refer to the manual supplied

with the gateway to find the channel map and specified ranges.

Verifying Connectivity

After the gateways are installed and the wireless devices are associated with the

gateways, move each mobile wireless device (for example, a touch screen) to the

extent of the intended usage area to verify connectivity to the gateway. If the

connection fails in the usage area, move the gateway to a different location.

If necessary, install a second gateway to cover part of the area.

NOTE: Crestron products do not support roaming between access points. The

devices are restricted to a single gateway.
