6. 

Use the attenuation value from the materials table above in the following

formula:

Formula:

(Transmit Power, use -30dBm) – (Receiver Sensitivity, use RSSI value) = 
Allowable Free Space Loss

Allowable Free Space Loss ÷ Materials Attenuation Value = 
Optimal Distance in Feet Between the UBC1329AA00 and a Wireless Client

Example:

(-30dBm)  -  (-67dBm)  =  37dBm  (allowable  free  space  loss  for  a  54Mbps
connection)

37dBm ÷.24db/foot (for open space) = 154.16 feet

7. 

Once  you  know  the  optimal  feet  distance  between  individual  wireless

clients  and  the  UBC1329AA00,  you  may  resolve  and  prevent  some
performance issues.

8. 

Check the wireless signal strength and speed of the computer connected

wirelessly  to  the  UBC1329AA00.  Instructions  for  checking  speeds  are
provided for both a Windows and Mac computer in the table below. If the
wireless computer is not connected, refer to 

Connecting a Wireless Device

NOTE  1:

  Different  types  of  concrete  materials  are  used  in  different  parts  of  the  world  and  the

thickness and coating differ depending on whether it is used in floors, interior walls, or exterior walls.

NOTE 2:

 The attenuation caused by trees varies significantly depending upon the shape and thickness

of the foliage.
