b. Change to a higher gain antenna

c. Change polarization (element orientation) of all antennas in your

network (yagi or collinear) from vertical to horizontal or vice versa.

9. Interference from 900 MHz transmitter

There are some measures you can take to reduce interference from

neighboring 900 MHz transmitters:

a. Move base station as far as possible from offending transmitter

antenna.

b. Install 9 dBd yagi and position station so that offending transmitter is

located behind or to the side of the yagi to take advantage of yagi’s

front-to-back or front-to-side ratio (back and side signal rejection).

c. Change polarization (element orientation) of all yagi and collinear

antennas in your network to see if that reduces effects of offending

transmitter.

10. AVW206 or other radio in the network has the wrong Network Address,

Radio Address, Hopping Sequence, or Standby Mode

It is improbable that an RF401 or AVW206 network that has been

working would ever change address, hopping sequence or other settings.

However, check the settings for the unlikely event this may have

happened. Try “Restore Defaults” and set up RF401 or AVW206 again

from that point.
