2.1.2. Installation of a wireless system In principle, in an ideal situation, the transmitter and the router resp. the base station should be within ‘eyesight’ to achieve an optimal strength of the signal. If that is not possible, a more appropriate location can be found using the features of the base station EE242, with the support of an amplifying router. -
Page 7: Router
2.2.3. Router The router is designed to increase the overall transmission distance and to bypass obstacles. Each router has the ability to receive and transmit a maximum of 10 signals (transmitter or another router). It is not possible to connect measuring probes to a router. For a detailed technical description, see chapter 3.3 Router 2.2.4. -
