Mobile Reception Test
To check mobile reception either use a mobile GPRS signal strength tester such as the Sequoia SWGPRS023 device, Wilson Electronics
460118 Pro Signal Meter, or if not available, use a mobile phone operating on the same network (Typically AT&T or T-Mobile). GSM
and GPRS are typically co-located; meaning typically that a good GSM (phone) coverage would indicate good GPRS coverage. Any
concerns with signal strength and/or coverage would need to be addressed with the cellular provider prior to installation. Paxton
cannot control the signal strength of a specified provider in a specified area.
Best practice is to check for good GSM/GPRS signal strength, 50% or better, or two bars of a four bar display on your mobile phone, prior
to installation of the Paxton BLU system.
The cable for the connection of the GSM/GPRS modem should be pre-terminated when you receive it as part of the GSM Kit. Plug the
corresponding plugs to both the Paxton BLU Master Control Unit and the GSM modem.
The Paxton BLU 3G Modem kit comes ready to connect to a Paxton BLU master controller.
The kit should include:
•
1 X Gemalto 3G Modem (pictured below).
•
1 X T-bar antenna.
•
1 X Cable assembly with 3 connectors
