Gateway
This chapter explains the installation of the YFGW710, antennas, cable connections, and mainte-
nance.
A3.1 Installation
A3.1.1 Requirements for Installation Locations
The installation of YFGW710 and field wireless devices must meet the following conditions:
• The field wireless equipment should be mounted in the place where no obstacle exists
around the antenna. Especially, YFGW710 should be mounted in the condition that no ob-
stacle exists around the antenna, in both cases of wall mounting and pipe mounting.
• If there is a pipe for mounting or plumbing in the direction except for the communication
partners, the antenna should be more than 30 cm apart from them.
• When the wall mounting does not satisfy the condition, use the extension cable to mount an
antenna in the place where there is no influence from any objects.
• All antennas must be in the upright position.
• The antenna of field wireless equipment must be installed at least 1.5 meter above the
ground (floor)
• The YFGW710 should be installed at a location as close as possible to the center of the field
wireless network.
• Ensure that the field wireless devices that are located within the wireless communication
range are within the line of sight of each other. In the star topology, the YFGW710 must
meet this condition.
