Site Survey
To optimise the cellular coverage perform a site survey using the included Battery pack
A cellular site survey is not necessary if your anticipated installation location is known to have strong
cellular signal strength. If you are unsure of available cellular signal strength or are choosing
between several installation locations, follow the below instructions to perform a site survey to
determine your best possible installation location.
1.
During a site survey it is useful to use the included battery pack instead of the power supply
unit to power the Accelerated 6300-CX. The battery pack will power your device for
approximately two hours while you perform your site survey. The battery pack is not
rechargeable and should be properly disposed of after use.
2.
Move the Accelerated 6300-CX to different locations within your site to determine the best
compromise between signal strength and installation constraints. Since cellular signal
strength may fluctuate, it is important to wait at each location for 1 minute while observing
the signal strength indicator on the front of the device. Minimum cellular signal strength for
proper operation is 2 bars.
3.
After the optimal location has been determined, remove the battery pack and connect
either the main power supply unit or POE injector cable (see section labeled Using Remote
Power for more information).
If the site survey finds that a location away from the 8300 AT&T VPN gateway is giving better signal,
arrange internal Cat-5/6 Ethernet cabling between the locations Should the location be away from a
power outlet then the PoE injector can be used near the ATTgate 8300, and the 6300-CX fed
remotely.
