INSTALLATION PLANNING
This section provides tips for selecting an appropriate site, choosing an
antenna system, and reducing the chance of harmful interference.
5.1.1 General Requirements
There are three main requirements for installing a transceiver—ade-
quate and stable primary power, a good antenna system, and the correct
interface between the transceiver and the data device.
Figure 5-1
shows
a typical Remote installation.
NOTE:
The transceiver’s network port supports 10BaseT and
100BaseT connections. Confirm that your hub/switch is
capable of auto-switching data rates.
To prevent excessive Ethernet traffic from degrading perfor-
mance, place the transceiver in a segment, or behind routers.
