Placement Guidelines
Placement Guidelines
The 7811 will automatically adjust, within limits, to room conditions. You can achieve better signal reception
by following the placement guidelines below.
Establishing a Good General Location
Your 7811 should be placed:
• Near the center of the room, if possible.
• On a shelf or other elevated location where other wireless networking devices are within line-of-sight
access.
• Away from other sources of electromagnetic interference (for example, microwave ovens, and cordless
phones).
• Away from large metal surfaces, pictures or mirrors, metal bookcases, displays, racks, etc.
• Away from large furniture or other physical obstructions, particularly metallic materials.
Using the Signal Quality LED to Fine Tune the Placement
Wireless environments are sensitive to the physical arrangement of both electronic devices and furniture in
a room. You can observe the Signal Quality Indicator LED to determine the best location. The Signal Quality
indicator LED is described in
Table 1— “LED Indicators and Meanings” on page 7 .
Refer to the troubleshooting section on page 14 if video quality deteriorates after an installation.
If “Minimum Acceptable” or “Marginally Acceptable,” air quality is indicated, you can adjust the location
of the 7811 and other devices until a steady green LED indicates “good” signal quality.
Connecting and Configuring the 7811
If it has not been already configured, you must configure your 7811 to work within your home network. Read
