4.1 Establishing the best location
In order to determine the best location for the TOPEX router please have in mind these
considerations:
• If you use wired connections, the length of the Ethernet cables that connects the Bytton routers
the network must not exceed 100 meters.
• BYTTON HSDPA should be placed on a flat, sturdy surface located as far from the ground as
possible. A high location, on the wall or on top of a desk or a shelf is best both for the HSDPA
connection and for the Access Point. Also, BYTTON should be kept clear of obstructions and
away from heat sources, direct sunlight and heavy-duty electrical equipment.
• To ensure good coverage to all of the wireless mobile devices in your area BYTTON HSDPA
should be installed in a central place in the building. Normally the antennas should be in vertical
position, but if reflections occur, you may get better results by changing their orientation.
• For power supply, use only the adapter shipped with BYTTON. The jacks of different power
supplies may fit but the polarity, current, voltage or regulation factor may not be compatible.
• While the device is in operation, the antennas of the BYTTON HSDPA unit should be at least 30
centimeters away from any human being.
4.2 Mounting (hardware installation)
The Topex BYTTON HSDPA router may be mounted either horizontally, by means simply placing
it on a flat surface, or vertically on a wall (using the mounting kit).
Horizontal mounting
The surface must be level and strong enough to hold the weight of BYTTON HSDPA together with its
cables (power supply, wired LAN connections, telephone, USB etc). A desk, table or shelf is good place
for the installation of BYTTON. . In this case, the WiFi antenna should be in vertical position (at right
angle to the box of the equipment)
Wall mounting
The equipment may also be mounted on a wall, by means of the kit included in the package.
It is recommended you use a pattern to secure the device to the wall. Also, you should use professional
installation to reduce the risk of injury and damage. In this case also the WiFi antenna must be in upright
vertical position, but it will be parallel to the equipment’s box.
For mounting BYTTON HSDPA on a wall you should use the mounting kit (plastic dowels, woodscrews,
etc) provided by Topex.
On the back there are two pairs of mounting holes, 160 mm apart. The two pairs are located 100 mm one
from another, allowing you to fasten BYTTON to the wall either connectors up or indicators up.
