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.
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.
