Important remarks about the TS-100 system installation
A correct installation of the TS-100 base unit is of critical importance to ensure good performance and a
robust communication between the TS-100 buttons and the base unit. When installing the TS-100, please
follow the rules below:
The most favorable setup is a direct line of sight between base unit and buttons. Any obstruction will
cause the signal to follow a longer propagation path, which can degrade performance.
Due to the particular radio pattern of the dipole antennas used with the TS-100 base unit, the
antennas should not be placed above TS-100 users. In case of ceiling-mounted setup, the advised
position for the TS-100 base unit antennas is at the side of the meeting room.
Do not use the TS-100 base unit without the shipped antennas. Removing the antenna will cause
severe degradation of the signal quality and may result in connection issues between the TS-100 base
unit and clients.
Place the base unit in an open emplacement and avoid installing in a metallic shell. A metallic shell (or
even shelf) could act as a Faraday cage and block the RF signal. In case this is unavoidable, please use
a TS-100 rack-mounting kit or external antennas.
Once the TS-100 base unit is installed, it is best to control the signal strength at the potential TS-100
Button location. For correct performance, signal strength of -70dBm is needed.
Wi-Fi Troubleshooting
Even if the selected channel is free of any interference, a weak signal coming from the TS-100 client
(Button or mobile device) can result in an unstable link. In such cases, we recommend:
Measuring the RSSi from the TS-100 base unit at different Button locations. This can be done by
means of a free Wi-Fi survey tool like the Android Application “Wi-Fi Analyzer” or another base unit’s
embedded Wi-Fi Analyzer. As explained above, the RSSi should be at least -70dBm.
If the measured RSSi is too low, check above paragraph “Important remarks about the TS-100 system
installation”.
