An internet connection of greater than 50mbps is recommended. For optimum performance regarding backhaul bandwidth requirements, please refer to the Network Extender User Guide.

GPS Signal
The Network Extender requires a strong GPS signal from the provided indoor GPS antenna. For installation other than with the provided GPS antenna, please refer to the Network Extender User Guide.

PoE Port (Optional)
When power is supplied through the PoE port, the PoE power source should meet Class 4 and Class 5 requirements (refer to the Network Extender User Guide for more information).

Mounting

The package contains screws and anchors for drywall mounting. Installation on alternate surfaces will require the purchase of the appropriate anchors and hardware.

Placement

• The Network Extender can be installed: vertically or horizontally on a wall, floor, or ceiling.
• Place the unit at least 10 feet away from products that generate electromagnetic radiation (e.g., microwave oven).
• Identify a location for the Network Extender, central to users, but no more than 21 feet from an exterior window or wall to allow for a strong GPS signal.
• Identify a power source for the Network Extender.

Procedure

1. Determine the mounting location and verify that no wires, pipes, etc., are directly behind or in the wall at the point of mounting.
2. Use the wall mounting bracket to act as a template to mark anchor holes on the wall.
3. Drill holes into drywall and push in the supplied plastic drywall anchors.
4. Align the mounting bracket with the wall anchors and attach using the supplied screws.
5. Slide the Network Extender with mounting bracket into the wall mounting bracket.
6. Fasten retaining screws (Phillips #2) on the side of the bracket.
