for you to recognize the units in the Map View once you
have deployed them. Once in place, you can reconfigure
the units however you like.
4. It is also recommended, if possible, to change the Map
View default background to a diagram or map of your
facility. You can then move the logger or Repeater icons
accordingly so you can have a visual representation of
their location in the facility.
5. Take each logger and begin to distribute in your facility in
the precise location you would like them to be based.
Once in position you can then run the Signal Test on each
logger to verify that you have a good signal to the
Receiver. If you are out of range and there is no
alternative location for the logger, you will most likely have
to add at least one Repeater to the network, or replace
the existing logger with a PA logger for longer
transmission range.
6. Once each of the loggers is in position return to the PC
and in Map View, verify that each of the loggers is online.
You can also use the Show Network Paths feature to
see the path of the logger to the Receiver, and the
strength of the transmission.
7. If you determine that you need to add Repeater/s to the
network in order to bring end units online or enhance the
transmission where the signal is weak, then deploy the
Repeater/s with the following points in mind:
a. There must be an electrical socket accessible at the
location of the Repeater as they must be powered
externally in order to run for more than a few hours.
b. Place the Repeater/s as high from the ground as
possible in order to enhance the wireless signal from
its antenna.
c. Expose the Repeater/s to as many end units as
possible. For example, if there is a room with several
offline end units requiring a Repeater, position the
