Prerequisites For Installation - Honeywell OW-FDAP31 Manual

3.1

Prerequisites for installation

Complete the network planning before installing FDAP. For information about network planning, refer to the
Network Planning and Installation Guide. Complete the following tasks before installing the FDAP in the
wireless network.
•
Network site planning: Complete site planning to understand how a wireless network can be built and
supported for your application using OneWireless components.
•
RF site assessment: Perform an RF site assessment when designing a large wireless network. The site
assessment should at a minimum include the following tasks:
– Conduct the site assessment when the plant is operating, so that maximum possible interference can
be measured and addressed.
– Conduct RF spectrum analysis on the 2.40-2.49 GHz band to detect any potential RF interference. Strong
interference sources should be addressed (removed, avoided or minimized) before the installation. Note
that some frequencies may not be available for use in some locations and countries.
– Arrange point-to-point mesh in various locations to measure the RF propagation ability in the site.
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) can serve as an indicator of the RF environment. TCP/IP
throughput testing and UDP/IP throughput and packet drop rate testing should be conducted in all
selected locations to measure the quality of the signal strength in the site.
•
FDAP placement: Determine FDAP placement after the completion of the network planning and RF
assessment activities.
•
Power requirements: Identify power requirements for the network. Determine wired cable runs to provide
DC power to the FDAP.
•
Ethernet cable runs: Determine Ethernet cable runs for FDAP and/or any other wired nodes in the network.
