4-2 ADS FlowAlert Manual
Setting Up Wireless Communication
Setting up wireless communication involves installing the antenna at
the monitor location, connecting the antenna to the monitor, and
installing the SIM card in the monitor.
Note: ADS wireless communication products use static
IP address network services provided by AT&T.
Therefore, any installation location designated for wireless
communication must have access to AT&T 850 or 1900
MHz service. Each wireless device will be fitted with a
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card that is provisioned
by AT&T with specific account and network information
for use with ADS software.
Note: Customer-supplied SIM cards cannot be used with
the ADS FlowAlert
™ .
Installing the Antenna
ADS provides three options for installing the wireless antenna:
 In Road This option involves installing the antenna directly in
the road, in dirt, or under other paving materials.
 Pedestal This option involves securing the antenna inside a
telecom pedestal installed off the road. ADS recommends
choosing this option when signal strength is poor using road
antennas.
 Magnetic Whip This option involves securing the antenna to
a roof or other protected structure where only a minimal
opportunity exists for theft or vandalism.
Note: While this manual describes the installation process
for each antenna option, detailed installation instructions
also accompany all wireless antennas received from ADS.
