Antenna setup and planning for SpeechLine Digital
Wireless
When planning the installation of SpeechLine Digital Wireless devices for
each room, observe the following guidelines.
▷ Mount all SpeechLine Digital Wireless receivers together in one rack.
▷ Make sure to have a direct line of sight between the transmitters and
the receiving antennas.
▷ Depending on the room characteristics there are several options how
to install the receiving antennas. We recommend the following options
in this order:
• Option 1: remotely mounted using the AWM 2 for one receiver or the
AWM 4 for two receivers. >> „Option 1: Connecting the AWM 2 or
AWM 4 antenna wall mount directly to the receiver(s)”
• Option 2: remotely mounted using the AWM 2 or the AWM 4 with
multiple receivers combined (passive combiner). >> „Option 2: Com-
bining multiple links to one AWM 2/AWM 4”
• Option 3: mounted in a rack (front). >> „Option 3: Rack mounting -
front”
• Option 4: mounted in a rack (rear). >> „Option 4: Rack mounting -
rear”
▷ When mounting antennas remotely, observe the minimum distance to
possibly existing DECT access points and also take into account the
cable lengths.
▷ Always switch all receivers on and off with a common power supply
(e.g. a multi-outlet power strip with a central on/off switch) in order to
achieve the best performance of a system.

options under „Antenna mounting options”.
