Wireless considerations

3.3.1 Power up sequence
The Rosemount 648 Wireless and all other wireless devices should be installed only after
the Wireless Gateway ("Gateway") has been installed and is functioning properly. Wireless
devices should also be powered up in order of proximity from the Gateway, beginning with
the closest. This will result in a simpler and faster network installation. Enable active
advertising on the Gateway to ensure new devices join the network faster. For more
information, see the Wireless Gateway
3.3.2 Antenna position
The antenna should be positioned vertically, either straight up or straight down, and it
should be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structure, building, or conductive
surface to allow for clear communication to other devices.
