The Smart Home Gateway EchoLife LS1015 connects to the camera and sensor devices
through wireless signals
. The
wireless network coverage is subject to the number, thickness,
and positions of walls, materials, ceilings, or other objects that radio signals traverse.
Besides, material type and background radio frequency (RF) noise also affect the coverage
of a wireless network. You can maximize the coverage of a wireless network using the
following methods:
1. Decrease the number of walls and ceilings between Smart Home Gateway EchoLife
LS1015 and other network devices.
Install the Smart Home Gateway EchoLife LS1015 at a proper place to avoid many walls
or ceilings whenever possible.
2. Observe the straight line rule when installing network devices.
To better receive signals, devices should be installed at places where signals can directly
traverse walls or ceilings and signals travelling around corners should be avoided.
3. Note the impact of building materials on the wireless network coverage.
The Smart Home Gateway EchoLife LS1015 should be installed in an open space
position such that wireless signals can traverse without being blocked. A metal door
or aluminum wall may limit the coverage of a wireless network so the device should not
be placed inside a closet. Materials and objects such as FRP products, metal products,
isolative walls, filing cabinets, bricks, and concrete weaken radio signals.
4.Keep the Smart Home Gateway EchoLife LS1015 at a distance from the following
devices:
- Electronic devices or components that produce RF noises (keep a distance of more
than 2 meters between such a device and LS1015.)
- 2.4 GHz wireless mobile phones or X-10 devices (such as microwave ovens, home
security systems, Bluetooth devices, and refrigerators) that greatly weaken or even
eliminate radio signals. Even if a 2.4 GHz wireless mobile phone is not connected to a
wireless network, the phone base still sends signals that interfere the wireless network.
5. Wi-Fi can not be used to connect devices other than Smart Home devices:
Wi-Fi is only used for devices that belong to the Smart Home service of the operator.
Personal devices like mobile phone or laptop cannot be connected to the Wi-Fi interface.
