2 Before you Begin

This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the ENGENIUS ECB300 is essential to maximize

the ECB300’s performance. Avoid placing the ECB300 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or wardrobe.

2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation

The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the

environment that the device is deployed in. These could be the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other

objects that the ECB300’s wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the ECB300 to have

optimal wireless range.

 Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the ECB300 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall

and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.

 Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect

on the signal strength of the ECB300. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a drywall

and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets,

and/or brick can also lower your wireless signal strength.

 Interferences can also come from other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise. The most usual

types are microwaves and cordless phones.
