Consider carefully the connections to antennas, power and network service
when performing a site survey:
Antenna type and placement - Proper antenna configuration is a
critical factor in maximizing RF detection range. As a rule, range
increases in proportion to gain and antenna height measured from the
ground.
Availability of power- Ensure that there is a mains connection close
enough for the power supply. For more discussion on power options,
refer to Keysight N6841A Quick Note 2 (pub #5991-3083EN)
Ethernet connection - The N6841A is supplied with a waterproof
Ethernet cable connector housing and Ethernet connector. The
customer must supply a shielded Ethernet (Cat5) cable.
