W ireles s S ignal Q uality
Wireless signal quality is affected by several conditions:
•
Distance from a Wi-Fi access point.
•
Access rights (set up through an administrator).
•
Your security settings.
•
Orientation of the wireless antennas.
If you are having difficulty connecting to your network, try the following steps:
1. Open the Wireless Setup page in ARMORutils and verify that the radio is enabled.
2. If your tablet is not locked in a vehicle mount, try turning the unit in various directions to
improve signal quality.
3. Try to get closer to the access point.
4. Move away from obstacles such as trees and metal objects which may be between you
and the Access Point.
5. Verify that the Wi-Fi access point is operating.
6. If none of these actions solves the problem, contact your Network Administrator for
assistance.
Us ing your R adios with an X 7 V ehic le
Doc k ing S tation
With the X7 vehicle dock (see
), you can switch your GPS receiver and/or WLAN
radio to externally mounted antennas for improved operation. By using external antennas, you
can reduce the attenuating effects of the vehicle cab and the constantly changing direction of
the X7 internal antennas.
When configured in ARMORutils, the RF multiplexer in the X7 will automatically switch the GPS
receiver, WLAN radio or both to the external antennas whenever the tablet is docked, and
switch them back to the internal antennas when the tablet is undocked.
Follow the instructions in Table 20 to configure your radios to use external antennas.
NOTE
If you have a vehicle dock but are not connected to external
antennas, you must set the Dock RF Sw in the ARMORutils
Wireless Setup dialog window to “Disable” in order to use the
tablet’s internal antennas.
