Black Box LW011AE, LW012AE, LW008A, LW005A, LW009A, LW003A, LW002A Area-Coverage Considerations

3-MBPS WIRELESS ETHERNET HUBS, ADAPTERS, AND BRIDGES

Use the LED Indicators on the front panel of the Workstation Adapter to check the received signal quality. The signal quality should be in the high to medium range.

4.Make any adjustments necessary. For example:

• Adjust the antenna.

• Adjust the location of the Workstation Adapter.

• Adjust the location of the Hub.

5.Install the next Workstation Adapter (LW002A) or 4-Port Workstation Adapter

(LW003A) and verify the Received Signal Strengths.

Area-Coverage Considerations

When planning the coverage areas of Wireless Ethernet cells, consider the following factors:

•Construction Materials—The area of a cell is influenced by the construction materials of the walls, the partitions, ceilings, and floors, and by the furnishings of the cell:

-Metallic objects reflect the radio signals, but do not let the signals pass through them.
