Installing the WaveAC C ESS LINK System 1-13
Indoor Placement
For optimal reception when used indoors, the
WaveACCESS LINK antennas should be placed in front
of a window or other opening with a clear line of sight
to the other WaveACCESS LINK synchronous modem. If
using an antenna other than the directly attached dipole
omnidirectional antenna pair, make sure that it is
solidly attached to a wall or other restraining structure.
WARNING: The WaveACCESS LINK high-gain antennas
should be mounted so that the main beam is pointing away
from heavy human traffic areas.
Outdoor Placement
The WaveACCESS LINK units were designed for indoor
use only. If you are using the outdoor connection
option, you must use the supplied cable (see the tables
on page 1-11.
Note: Installing a WaveACCESS
LINK unit outdoors will void
its warranty.
Using outdoor antennas may enable you to increase the
range of your WaveACCESS LINK system for the
following reasons:
✦
It is possible to install larger (for example, higher
gain) antennas.
✦
It is less likely that the path will be obstructed.
✦
Performance may be improved due to height from
ground.
✦
Multipath problems caused by reflections off objects
(for example, buildings) are reduced.
