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 N

ODE

D

ISCOVERY

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 N

ODE

D

ISCOVERY

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.
