Plan your coverage area and position devices.
Plan Your Coverage Area
Before installation begins, it is a good idea to plan your coverage area so that equipment is positioned in the best possible locations.
Here are some tips when planning your coverage area:
• Map out the site and identify the most critical areas where communication is needed.
• Consider cable length limitations during planning. Copper: 330 ft. (100 m). Fiber: 32,800 ft. (10 km).
• Locate antennas in open spaces and avoid obstructions (especially metal) and other nearby RF sources.
• If using omni-directional antennas, position antennas in center of coverage area and as high as possible.
