Installation
Ventilation To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that
exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the table of
specifications. Consider using forced air ventilation and/or incrementing
the spacing between units to reduce overheating. Consideration must be
given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the
operating ambient temperature of the environment may be greater than
the room ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials
should be avoided on all sides of the unit.
Placement
Tips When installing a CEN-RFGW-EX near another CEN-RFGW-EX, for
optimum performance, keep the following in mind:
• Do not place multiple gateways on the same channel. Refer to
“Appendix A: The RF Spectrum” on page 30 for details.
• Gateways on adjacent channels should be at least 12 feet
(3.7 meters) apart.
• Gateways on non-adjacent channels should be at least three feet
(0.9 meters) apart.
When installing a CEN-RFGW-EX near a Wi-Fi access point, for
optimum performance, keep the following in mind:
• Gateways on RF channels adjacent to operating Wi-Fi channels
should be placed at least 12 feet (3.7 meters) from the nearest
Wi-Fi access point.
• Gateways on RF channels that are non-adjacent to Wi-Fi channels
should be located at least six feet (1.8 meters) from the nearest Wi-
Fi access point.
For more information on RF channels and their interaction with the
Wi-Fi spectrum, refer to “Appendix A: The RF Spectrum” on page 30.
For additional information on optimal gateway placement, refer to
“Appendix B: Optimum RF Reception Guidelines” which starts on page
31.
