Guidelines for Installation
When installing your system, always consider the following points:
•
Directional antennas are best for remote unit sites. They may increase the cost, but
they confine the transmission path to a narrow lobe and minimize the interference
from nearby stations.
•
For systems with constant interference present, you may need to change the
polarity of the antenna system and reduce data streams. Groups of short data
streams are more reliable and have a better chance of success in the presence of
interference than do long streams.
•
Systems installed in rural areas are least likely to encounter urban interference.
•
Multiple HopNet systems can operate in close proximity to each other but require a
unique network address.
•
Poor quality coaxial cables will seriously degrade system performance. Use low-
loss cable that is suitable for 2.4 GHz operation.
•
Short cable runs minimize signal loss.
