Indoor GPS Antenna
The Network Extender can get timing information from GPS. The Network
Extender is required to be placed such that the GPS receiver has an unobstructed
line of sight with at least 4 strong satellites, in order for it to get a position fix
during the booting process. Thereafter, the Network Extender is required to
maintain sync with at least one satellite in order to be able to continue to monitor
the position fix.
Without adequate GPS signal, the Network Extender cannot function properly.
When positioning the Indoor GPS antenna, ensure that it is:
•
Installed in a horizontal position.
•
Adjacent to a window and in an open area. This ensures clear reception of the
GPS signal.
This section outlines the installation and relocation of the Indoor GPS Line.

Turn off the Network Extender.
2
Connect the provided Indoor GPS antenna cable to GPS port on the Network
Extender.
3
Place the antenna near a window where the GPS signal is stronger. To help
evaluate GPS signal quality in a given location, a free smartphone App called
“GPS Test” can be used.
4
Turn on the Network Extender to allow the detection of an available GPS
signal.
If GPS signal cannot be detected, reposition the GPS antenna and place it in a new
location to receive a stronger signal. This new location should be located close to a
window. In some cases if the GPS signal indoors is very weak, an external outdoor
GPS (not included) may need to be installed.
