5. If you determine that you need to add Repeater s to the network in order to bring end units online or enhance the transmission where the signal is weak then deploy the Repeater s with the following points in mind a There must be an electrical socket accessible at the location of the Repeater as they must be powered externally in order to run for more than a few hours b Place the Repeater s as high from the ground as possible in order to enhance the wireless signal from its antenna c Expose the Repeater s to as many end units as possible For example if there is a room with several offline end units requiring a Repeater position the Repeater next to the room so that it is in range of as 38 fourier many of these end units as possible so you don t have to add more Repeaters 8 After you have deployed the Repeater s return to the software and using the Show Network Paths feature verify that all end units are now successfully transmitting to the Receiver either on their own or via a parent Repeater You can continue to tweak the position of the units until you are Satisfied with the quality of the transmission 9 Now that the units are in place the last step of initial deployment is to reconfigure each unit to start data acquisition Configure the sensor setup sample rate transmission rate alarm levels Email SMS notifications etc as you see fit 39 fourier Chapter 4 DataNet Hardware Overview
