Wireless Considerations Power Up Sequence
The Smart Wireless Gateway (Gateway) should be installed and functioning
properly before any wireless devices are powered. Install the power module,
SmartPower Solutions, model number 701PGN green power module, into the
708 to power the device. This results in a simpler and faster network
installation. Enabling Active Advertising on the Gateway ensures that new
devices are able to join the network faster. For more information see the
Smart Wireless Gateway Reference Manual (Document No.
00809-0200-4420).
Antenna Position
The antenna is internal to the acoustic transmitter. To achieve optimal range,
orient the transmitter with the waveguide horizontal and the power module
closest to the ground as shown in Figure 1-2. Good connectivity can also be
achieved in other orientations. The antenna should also be approximately 1 m
(3 ft.) from any large structure, building, or conductive surface to allow for
clear communication to other devices. Refer to best practices for additional
information on optimal mounting locations of device.

Recommended Practices
When mounting the device, recommended practices should be considered to
achieve the best wireless performance. See Appendix C for more information
on recommended practices.
