An attenuation response count of 9 or 10 is ideal. A count of 5 at 14dB uplink and
downlink attenuation is acceptable.
If the count at 14dB uplink and downlink attenuation is less than 5, or if the count
at 15dB uplink and downlink attenuation is 0, go to Chapter Chapter 6,
“Troubleshooting the Installation.”
