Antenna Installation — Antennas must be connected to each transceiver for proper operation. Without an antenna, two units will not communicate. The higher the gain of the an- tenna, the longer the range of the transceiver signal. All Carrier transceivers ship with a 5 db
Carrier transceivers are designed to be used only with cer- tain antenna products. Other higher gain directional antennas may be purchased through an approved Carrier supplier. Con- tact Carrier for additional information.

NETWORK TOPOLOGY
The Carrier transceivers support the Broadcast Network topology. Each transceiver can be configured via its Configura- tion Manager to work this topology. The transceiver’s Configu- ration Manager controls how the transceiver transmits and re- ceives data as connected to the device. (See Fig.
Wireless communication signals can be adversely affected by physical and/or electrical interference. Carrier wireless transceivers should NOT be installed in applications where temporary loss of communications cannot be tolerated by the control system. Suitable applications include equipment monitoring, alarm monitoring, control overrides and tem- porary service connections.
Networks — Wireless data connectivity applications require a wide range of networking options. The network topologies consist of more than two transceivers and may have a PC to host a network of devices. The PC or network devices are each physically attached to a transceiver.
WIRELESS SERVICE TOOL — The wireless Service Tool setup allows a CCN service technician to install, commission, and troubleshoot from any location in the building. All CCN elements on the primary bus are accessible. The wireless con- nection allows the technician to utilize a laptop computer to perform all Service Tool functions from anywhere within the range of wireless communication. If the transceiver is located on a rooftop, it is possible to gain wireless access to the build- ing from several miles away.
NOTE: Wireless buss extensions on CCN systems with sec- ondary buses are recommended for temporary use only. Per- manent use is NOT recommended.
WIRELESS BUS EXTENSION — The wireless bus exten- sion setup allows a bus to be extended to a remote location through the use of the wireless transceivers. This set up can be used to connect two portions of a CCN bus when physical wir- ing cannot be used or is not cost effective. This set up may also be used to connect controllers in two different buildings by placing the transceiver on the roofs of the buildings. This set up is not recommended for CCN systems that contain secondary buses.
