This section provides general guidelines on factors that influence network performance  

 

 

Because of differences in component configuration, placement and physical environment, 

every network application is a unique installation. Before installing the  system, users 

should perform a site survey to determine the  optimum utilization of networking 

components and to  maximize range, coverage and network performance. 

Here are some operating and environmental conditions you should consider: 

 

• Data Rate s 

Radio signal sensitivity and range are inversely  proportional to data bit rates. The 

maximum radio range  is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. There will  be a 

decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity as the radio data rate increases. 

 

• Antenna Type and Placement (PCI card only) 

Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general 

guide, range increases in  proportion to antenna height.  For a detailed explanation of 

antenna types and configurations  along with guidelines on selecting antennas for 

specific environments, see the documentation that comes with your antenna. 

 

• Physical Environments 

Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. Also, the  less 

cluttered the work environment, the greater the range. 

 

• Obstruction s 

A physical obstruction such as metal  shelving or a steel pillar can hinder the 

performance of  the client adapter. Avoid locating the computing device  in a location 

where there is a metal barrier between the sending and receiving antennas.
