3.5.1 Understanding the Requirements of Your Network
Before adjusting, changing, or relocating an antenna, you should gather the following information:
1. Review the characteristics of the present network.
a. What is its intended coverage area?
b. What are all the signal obstructions (buildings, terrain, etc.) that were considered in the original

c. What is the intended coverage area for each antenna in the network?
2. What conditions have changed that now require an alteration to the original network?
a. Has the original coverage area changed?
