Additional notes
A) Typical range of the wireless connection
On a same floor, the wireless link should be OK about 100 to 200 ft from the router, depending on
the number of walls and structures limiting the wireless link.
The quality of the wireless connection from one floor to the other will depend on the type of
construction. For a large 2 floor installations, a wireless repeater (or the relocation of the router) will
often be required.
B) What to do to improve the range of the wireless connection?
If communication is not ensured everywhere, you can move the router to a more strategic place
(using a long RJ45 network cable between the Silex and the router) to obtain proper connection
everywhere.
A wireless repeater (not provided) can also be used to increase the distance of the wireless
connection.
C) What happens if the wireless connection is lost during the equalization process?
If the wireless connection is lost when the SmartSMS software is opened, the SMS software will
automatically:
1. save the current configuration,
2. provide the name and path of the “partial” configuration file,
3. stop the software.
Once the connection is retrieved, the SMS software can be re-started. At the re-start, the software
will automatically ask to retrieve the configuration that was running on the SmartSMS before the
wireless connection failed.
