There are different factors to consider when mounting antennas. This
chapter provides instructions and recommendations that you should follow
when mounting antennae.
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 transmitters and
the receiving antennas.
▷ Depending on the room characteristics there are several options how
to install the receiving antennas. We recommend the following options
in this order:
• Option 1: remotely mounted using the AWM 2 for one receiver or the
AWM 4 for two receivers. >> „Option 1: Connecting the AWM 2 or
AWM 4 antenna wall mount directly to the receiver(s)“
• Option 2: remotely mounted using the AWM 2 or the AWM 4 with
multiple receivers combined (passive combiner). >> „Option 2: Com-
bining 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 power supply
(e.g. a multi-outlet power strip with a central on/off switch) in order to
achieve the best performance of a system.

options under „Antenna mounting options“.
