Antenna Orientation
The antenna orientation on Crestron gateways has considerable effect on
range and reliability. The best orientation is unique to each installation.
There are three possible antenna orientations:
 Point the antenna horizontally (parallel to the ground)
 Point the antenna vertically.
 Point the antenna at a right angle to the gateway.
Never point the antenna downward as this will decrease range and
reliability. Refer to illustration below and those on the following page for
examples of the different antenna orientations.
NOTE: RF propagation is best from the sides of the antenna.
Horizontal Orientation
