Avocent LongView Wireless Installer - Manual (Page 33)

Appendices 27
To maximize your wireless range:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the transmitter and
receiver to a minimum – each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless
product’s range.
2. Be aware of the direct line between your transmitter and receiver. A
wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45° angle appears to be almost
3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2° angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick!
Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a
wall or ceiling for better reception.
3. Building materials can impede the wireless signal – a solid metal door or
aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position your
wireless devices and computers with wireless adaptors so that the signal
passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
4. Keep your LongView Wireless transmitter and receiver away (at least
3 to 6 feet or 1 to 2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that
generate extreme RF noise.
