2.5.1 Deployment Considerations

When deploying the VMM6300 consider the following:

•The antenna should be a minimum of 30 inches from any nearby metal poles to avoid distortion of the RF pattern.

•The antenna must have a separation distance of at least 2 meters from the body of all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

•Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions to satisfy RF exposure compliance.

•Typically, Vehicle Mounted Modems are distributed within a network and are used as subscriber devices. A rule of thumb is to deploy 2-3 hop networks to optimize range, latency, and throughput to subscriber devices.

•The VMM6300 installation location must provide applicable DC power for the device.

•It is required that the VMM chassis be grounded to minimize the possibility of ESD (electrostatic discharge) induced damage.

2.5.1.1Deployment Tips

Locate the antenna to minimize multipath:

-Minimize interference from nearby transmitters

-Maximize chance of a direct line of sight connection to other devices.

-Mount the supplied antenna vertically

2.6Testing the Device Installation

Verify the operation of the VMM6300 using the following procedure:

1. Apply power to the VMM6300 – power reset button will be illuminated to red.
