Wireless Considerations	Power Up Sequence
	The Smart Wireless Gateway (Gateway) should be installed and functioning
	properly before any wireless devices are powered. Install the power module,
	SmartPower Solutions, model number 701PGN green power module, into the
	708 to power the device. This results in a simpler and faster network
	installation. Enabling Active Advertising on the Gateway ensures that new
	devices are able to join the network faster. For more information see the
	Smart Wireless Gateway Reference Manual (Document No.
	00809-0200-4420).

Antenna Position

The antenna is internal to the acoustic transmitter. To achieve optimal range, orient the transmitter with the waveguide horizontal and the power module closest to the ground as shown in Figure 1-2.Good connectivity can also be achieved in other orientations. The antenna should also be approximately 1 m (3 ft.) from any large structure, building, or conductive surface to allow for clear communication to other devices. Refer to best practices for additional information on optimal mounting locations of device.
