Honeywell’s multinode/ WSG requires physical mounting and installation on site
following the execution of the preinstallation requirements. The location of all
multinodes should be determined to ensure optimum operation in a wireless network.
Installation tasks
WARNING
Multinodes and wireless system gateways must be professionally installed in
accordance with the requirements specified in the ‘OneWireless Multinode
Agency Compliance Professional Installation Guide.’ Only the specified
power settings, antenna types and gains and cable lengths (attenuation) as
outlined in the installation guide are valid for multinode installations.
Before the multinode is installed at the site location there are a number tasks which must
be completed to properly set up the unit. Table 4 outlines these tasks to be performed for
each multinode/WSG installation. For example, the site location of the multinode/WSGs
should be identified and prepared before the multinode is installed. Additionally, you
should verify that the multinode contains the latest version firmware and ensure that it is
configured properly for the network in which it is designed to operate. Follow the tasks
listed in Table 4 to complete a multinode installation. The page numbers reference
additional information and details on each task.
