Testing the Data Range

To test for best signal quality, locate a temporary wireless station in the location at which you intend to locate the DockLINK. Use the NODE DISCOVERY page at each wireless station on the network to verify signal quality. Also test locations where fixed wireless stations are not normally located, such as conference rooms.

Signal Quality

DockLINK Station

As you test each location, note the signal strength measured on the NODE DISCOVERY page (see Figure 4). In the event that you discover a location where signal quality is low, there are three basic options for action:

1.If most or all station locations report a low-quality signal, relocate the DockLINK.

2.If one or only a few station locations report a low-quality signal, relocate the antennas at weak locations to improve signal quality.
