Locating the Radio Unit

RadioLAN Radio Units include a dual antenna assembly. The antenna assembly operates best if oriented perpendicular to the horizon (see Figure 6). Failing to orient the antenna in this vertical orientation will diminish signal quality between the DockLINK and all wireless stations that communicate with it. You can locate the DockLINK assembly on the desk next to your PC, or when using a longer Category 5 cable, you can mount the assembly on a wall, or ceiling.

Do this:

∙Point the Radio Unit to the ceiling or to the floor.

∙Locate the Radio Unit in an open area.

∙Locate the Radio Unit within 120 feet from each wireless network user.

Do not do this:

∙Do not orient the Radio Unit parallel to the horizon.

∙Do no locate the Radio Unit inside a cabinet.

∙Do not locate the Radio Unit farther than 150 feet from wireless network users.

∙Do not power the DockLINK from a switched electrical outlet.

∙Do not mount the Radio Unit outside of the building.
