Placement Guidelines
Placement Guidelines
You or your service provider or installer can determine the best placement for the Metro Broadband Gateway
by using the following guidelines.
Establishing a Good General Location
Your Metro Broadband Gateway should be placed:
•
On a shelf or other elevated location away from any physical obstructions.
•
Away from other sources of electromagnetic interference (for example, microwave ovens, and cordless
phones).
•
Away from large metal surfaces, pictures or mirrors.
•
Away from large furniture or other physical obstructions.
Using the Air Quality Indicator to Fine-Tune the Placement
N
OTE
–
The Air Quality Indicator represents the wireless condition of the WAN link.
Wireless environments are sensitive to the physical arrangement of both electronic devices and furniture in
a room. You or your installer can observe the Air Quality Indicator LED to determine the best location. The
Air Quality indicator LED is described in
Table 2— “MM2211 LED Indicators and Descriptions” on page
11
.
Your service provider or installer can guide you through a self-help troubleshooting session if data
transmission quality deteriorates after an installation. Or, you may be able to determine a solution to the
problem on your own.
If “bad” (red) or “possibly acceptable” (yellow) air quality is indicated, you can adjust the location of the
Metro Broadband Gateway until a steady green LED indicates “good” air quality.
