3 Tips and Notes
3.1 Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by professional
technicians.
• Products are tested for indoor use.
• Inovonics recommends registering and testing end devices prior to
installation, using a floor plan or something similar to indicate
installation locations. Consider marking or applying descriptive labels
to the end device cases to ensure proper installation. Conduct a site
survey with an Inovonics survey kit prior to installation to assist with
RF gateway, repeater and end device placement.
• To resolve connectivity issues, check for loose/disconnected cabling,
ensure power to Ethernet routers and/or switches, and connect a
laptop to the Ethernet cable attached to the TapWatch gateway’s
RJ45 port and attempt to open a web site. If you are still unable to
establish an Internet connection, contact a facility IT representative.
• Metal will reduce radio frequency (RF) range. Mount the TapWatch
gateway in a location removed from metal, including duct work, wire
mesh screens, IT closets, metal boxes, and etc. For additional
information, see the "EchoStream Device Installation
Recommendation" tech note at www.inovonics.com.
• The EchoStream system should be tested regularly to ensure
operation. To test, place the system in test mode, activate an end
device, and ensure an appropriate response.
