Page 8: Applications
1.4 Applications The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs: a) Difficult-to-Wire Environments There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings, multiple buildings, and/or open areas make the installation of a Wired LAN impossible, impractical, and/or expensive. -
Page 9: Before You Begin
Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the signal strength of the ECB350. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets and/or brick can also lower your wireless signal strength. -
