3. Gateway Installation GSM Signal Strength Test: Prior to installing your Gateway, we recommend that you perform a short GSM survey with the Gateway to ensure the location you plan to mount the Gateway in is suitable. You can do this without applying mains power to the Gateway, simply turn on the Battery Switch located at the top of the Gateway (see figure 1) and attach the Antenna, (located in the bag supplied) by rotating the gold nut clockwise and ensuring it is tightened fully in place by hand.
4. Locating Your Gateway Please mount your Gateway in a suitable location. We recommend your Gateway is mounted on a wall, in a hallway, or another suitable area provided you have sufficient GSM signal strength. Please ensure your Gateway is mounted with the Antenna in the vertical orientation. Consideration should be given to the location of the Gateway to avoid any unnecessary interaction with the Gateway once installed.
