14.4 Wireless Repeater
Description
A repeater increases the distance between electronic devices that
communicate wirelessly. While Smart-Vue modules and receivers offer long
wireless range both indoors and out, it is sometimes necessary to use
repeaters to improve overall signal strength and to cover hard-to-reach
locations reliably. A repeater is recommended if the wireless signal to your
Smart-Vue end-point module is below 40%.
CAUTION: Up to 3 repeaters may be used to relay the wireless signal from
a given end-point back to its designated receiver.
14.4.1 Typical Installation Smart-Vue receivers can be plugged directly into a machine’s USB or serial
port, or they may be connected directly to your Ethernet network using an
RJ-45 cable. Standalone wireless repeaters are placed between a receiver and
remote Smart-Vue modules to extend the overall wireless range. The
following diagram provides two examples of how repeaters may be placed in
typical installations.
Figure 43. Sample repeater configurations
This diagram shows that up to 3 repeaters may be used to increase overall
wireless range to reach remote end-point modules
CAUTION: A repeater must connect to only one receiver, as shown above
in Figure 43. The overall end-to-end path may contain up to 5 levels of
devices, that is, from the receiver to the end-point.
