Basic Recommendations
•
Ethernet (CAT5e or CAT6) provides the most reliable and highest speed con-
nection.
•
Use commercial grade wireless equipment that supports 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n.
5GHz is not supported.
•
Install the correct number of wireless access points to ensure the wireless
network has enough capacity to handle the peak load requirements.
•
Place wireless access points such that all equipment has an unobstructed view
of the access point.
NOTE
Most locations will require multiple access points. Consult a wireless network-
ing specialist for site specific design requirements.
•
WOODWAY recommends a 50-meter maximum range between the access
point and the treadmill.
•
Create separate wireless network for the ProSmart Touchscreen consoles.
•
WOODWAY recommends dedicated bandwidth to ensure that ProSmart soft-
ware runs efficiently at your facility.
•
Install a separate dedicated Internet line if possible.
•
Create a unique, non-broadcasting, wireless network ID (SSID) for the
ProSmart Touchscreen consoles.
•
Enable Network security. WPA2-PSK authentication is currently recommended.
•
Use an Internet connection that provides at least 2Mbps per each piece of
equipment.
