3.3 RTX Base Unit – Reset feature
It is possible to restart or reset the Base station unit by pressing a knob at the rear side of the unit. Alternatively, it can
be reset from the SME Configuration Interface. We do not recommend this; but unplugging and plugging the Ethernet
cable back to the PoE port of the Base station also resets the base unit.
3.4 Installing the Base station
First determine the best location that will provide an optimal coverage taking account the construction of the building,
architecture, and choice of building materials.
Next, mount the Base station on a wall to cover range between 50 – 300 meters (i.e. 164 to 984 feet), depending
whether it’s an indoor or outdoor installation.
