5.6.6 NL241 Wi-Fi Accessory Kit
The wireless network link kit includes hardware for installing a Wi-Fi network
link into an ET107 weather station. The Wi-Fi modem accessory kit and
antenna are ordered separately.
5.6.6.1 Antenna
Campbell Scientific recommends the 2.4 GHz 5.8 dBd omnidirectional antenna
with the NL241 Wi-Fi modem in an ET107 station. This antenna provides a 5.8
dBd gain.
The Wi-Fi kit provides the hardware needed to mount the antenna to the ET107
pole.
5.6.6.2 Power Considerations
Campbell Scientific recommends using either ac power or a 10-watt solar panel
and the PS24 power supply. Refer to Appendix
(p. C-1), for mounting options and information on
the PS24.
