A setting of 154 Kbps should be used when the transceivers are close together and data throughput needs to be optimized.

  • Page 72: Choosing A Location For The Transceiver

    Choosing a Location for the Transceivers Placement of the FreeWave transceiver is likely to have a significant impact on its performance. The key to the overall robustness of the radio link is the height of the antenna. In general, Free- Wave units with a higher antenna placement will have a better communication link.
