1.

 

Place your gateway in the center of the network. For most devices, every time data is 
transmitted over one repeater hop, it loses half its speed. A central gateway minimizes 
the number of hops required.

 

2.

 

Never go through more than three to four walls or floors.

 

 

3.

 

Never go more than 50-150 feet (depending on building materials) between access 
points.

 

4.

 

Install no more than about five repeaters to every one gateway.

 

 

Once all access points are plugged in, you should see them turn green on the Network Manager 

Status page in about 5 to 15 minutes. For more detailed information on planning and optimizing 
your network, see the 

Network Planning Guide

.

Configuring A Network 

Your network should now be up and running, but there’s a lot we can do to 

customize it to meet your specific needs. We’ll walk you through the most common 
settings here.

 

Configure > General Settings

 

The General Settings tab controls network-wide settings. This will be partially filled 

in with the information you used to create the network.

 

Location: This defaults to the first address you entered when setting up the 

network. You can change it at any time. Note that the location only determines 
where your access point appears on the map; radio settings will be based on the IP 
address of the access point.

 

Network name: The login name for this network on the dashboard, and also the 

login ID to access this network individually by a site administrator. This is NOT your 
master login. This allows you to give access to only the network settings for that 
network without allowing access to your master account.

 

 

Time Zone: Used in displaying the local time on reports.

 

 

AM/PM time: Used in displaying the local time on reports.

 

 

Display Name: Used to display a more descriptive name (other than the login ID) on 

reports. Password: The administrator password for this network. Again, this is only 
for this network and is not your master login password. It is also not the password 
your users will use to connect to the network.
