2 Configuration

Wireless planning

Power up sequences
The Gateway should be installed and functioning properly before power modules are
installed in any wireless field devices. Wireless field 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.
Antenna positions
The Emerson 781S Smart Antenna should be positioned vertically and be approximately 6
ft. (2 m) from large structures or buildings to allow for clear communication to other
devices. If using two antennas, each should be mounted at least 3 ft. (0.91 m) from one
another.
