The wireless parameters associated to 802.11 differ from those of the SPCF mode. For more information about these parameters, refer to the Verint SConfigurator User Guide. Be aware of the following limitations in using S4200 devices in a 802.11 environment: The S4200 will not be able to connect to an S4300.
As link distances increase, the total available video bandwidth will decrease due to free space loss and other attenuating factors. If this is not taken into account in the design phase, problems will surface which will have a detrimental effect on the total system performance. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions...

Tip: If the S4200 is directly exposed to the sun in an environment likely to reach 122°F (50°C), install a sun shield. Otherwise, reduce the maximum operating temperature by 18°F (10°C) to protect the equipment; that is, without a sun shield, the maximum temperature should be 104°F (40°C). Verint Video Intelligence Solutions...
Note: Power supplies other than the approved ones (PS2440) require verification of operation with the S4200 before use. If you are using a power supply other than the one supplied by Verint, you need to ensure that it has a minimum capacity of 1.6A (for 12V DC) or 25 VA (for 24V AC).

Max is the maximum signal difference (23 dB for a 6 Mbps bit rate in the example). To calculate the emission signal difference between two adjacent wireless cells: 1. Open SConfigurator, then click the Units tab. 2. Select the master device in the wireless cell you are adding, then click Telnet. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions...

4. For a thorough scan, specify 60 site survey iterations. 5. Start the site survey operation. Note: During the execution, the RF link will be momentarily broken (duration varies depending on the number of iterations). The link is automatically restored when the survey is finished.

The lowest signal in Cell A is -75 (S1) and the highest signal in Cell B is -45 (S2). The result of S2 - S1 (-45 - -75) is 30. Since the signal difference is higher than 23 dB, there will be interference issues. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions...
