2.1 Pre-installation Planning
A site inspection of a mine is conducted by an MST System Engineer to determine network requirements
and design before installation.
The following factors affect the conguration of the network required:
• Wireless coverage requirements of the mine
• Quantity and type of wireless client devices connected to the network
• Wired client devices connected to the network and their location
• Interconnection to the mines existing corporate network
• Policies for network protocols between networks
• Cabling requirements
• Antenna types to use with each unit and mounting method for each antenna
• Mounting location and installation method for each network device.
For more information about considerations in system design, refer to the user manual for your ImPact
Wireless Network Switch.
