Antenna setup and planning for SpeechLine
Digital Wireless
When planning the installation of SpeechLine Digital Wireless
devices for each room, observe the following guidelines.
▷ Mount all SpeechLine Digital Wireless receivers together in
one rack.
▷ Make sure to have a direct line of sight between the trans-
mitters and the receiving antennas.
▷ Depending on the room characteristics there are several
options how to install the receiving antennas. We recom-
mend the following options in this order:
• Option 1: remotely mounted using the AWM 2 for one re-
ceiver or the AWM 4 for two receivers. >> „Option 1: Con-
necting the AWM 2 or AWM 4 antenna wall mount directly
to the receiver(s)“
• Option 2: remotely mounted using the AWM 2 or AWM 4
and multiple receivers combined using an antenna split-
ter (passive splitters SL PASC 2 or SL PASC 4). >> „Option
2: Combining multiple links to one AWM 2/AWM 4“
• Option 3: mounted in a rack (front). >> „Option 3: Rack
mounting - front“
• Option 4: mounted in a rack (rear). >> „Option 4: Rack
mounting - rear“
▷ When mounting antennas remotely, observe the minimum
distance to possibly existing DECT access points and also
take into account the cable lengths.
▷ Always switch all receivers on and off with a common pow-
er supply (e.g. a multi-outlet power strip with a central on/
off switch) in order to achieve the best performance of a
system.
